Quarren Isolation League/Legends



The Quarren Isolation League were an organization based on the planet Dac that allied itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. They were lead by a Quarren senator named Tikkes. Since the Quarren were isolationist, they never ever bothered with galactic representation. Yet for the last decades of the Old Republic, the Quarren exclusively represented their planet in the Galactic Senate.

The Quarren mined the depths of the their ocean homeworld Dac for the ores that made the Mon Calamarian floating cities and the starships used by the Mon Calamari. When the Quarren miners aligned themselves with the Commerce Guild, they gained considerable political support. The Commerce Guild was able to secure a Quarren majority on the Mon Calamari Council, and even installed the corrupted Senator Tikkes through several terms in office.

Later, Senator Tikkes was exposed as a corrupt official during the Separatist Crisis, and evaded Republic prosecution by fleeing into Separatist space. He pledged his planet's resources to the growing Separatist movement, and was one of the founding members of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. But he represent his people, since a pro-Republic Quarren, Tundra Dowmeia, was elected Senator following his demise. The resulting political conflict sparked a civil war on Mon Calamari, and Tikkes' supporters became known as the Quarren Isolation League.

The League sought to purge all Republic presence from their homeworld, and to achieve those goals, revolted against the planetary government. The Quarren Separatists included Quarren mining barons who had prospered from Commerce Guild funding, and they were able to gain Separatist support in return for continued shipments of raw ores to the guilds. Tikkes also signed a treaty with Count Dooku, which resulted in the League obtaining aquatic assault craft supplied by the Trade Federation and the Techno Union such as the Manta droid subfighters.

In the conflict that ensued, the Mon Calamari Knights did their best to defend their cities and the Mon Calamari Council. The Republic in the form of a Clone SCUBA trooper force led by Jedi General Kit Fisto. They defeated the Quarren Isolation League at the Battle of Mon Calamari. Despite this, the Quarren continued to support the Separatists. An organization of Quarren exiles - the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps - supported the Separatists by manufacturing warships for the Separatist cause.
