Galactic Alliance Remnant

"Though battles have been lost, the Alliance still lives. We have not surrendered, we do not concede the stars. We will win back our birthright. Freedom."

- Captain Jaius Yorub

The Galactic Alliance Remnant was the name given to the unified fragments of the Galactic Alliance military, operating in the years following the Alliance's downfall in the Sith-Imperial War. The Remnant was a major player in the opposition to Darth Krayt's Sith-controlled Empire.

History


At the Battle of Caamas, the Imperial Navy defeated the main fleet of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force, forcing their surrender and the capitulation of the civilian government on Coruscant. However, Admiral Gar Stazi, the Alliance fleet commander, led his forces in a fighting retreat. This action preserved a portion of the Galactic Alliance Navy, specifically the Core Forces under Stazi's command and whose name were sometimes used for his remnant. They were soon joined by groups or members of every Galactic Alliance Defense Force branch. They formed the Galactic Alliance Remnant which continued to oppose what would later become Darth Krayt's Sith Empire.

The Empire allowed the Alliance government to survive as its proxy in ruling what remained of Alliance space, in the form of the Triumvirate. However, the Galactic Alliance Remnant refused to surrender, maintaining years of hit and run attacks on Krayt's Imperial forces, increasing in their tenacity and recapturing lost ground.

The Imperial Navy tried numerous times to capture or kill Stazi, but they were only able to capture or destroy some Alliance ships. Stazi managed to elude them at every encounter.

In 137 ABY, Admiral Stazi of the Remnant represented the Alliance during a meeting with Captain Mingo Bovark, who was loyal to Emperor Roan Fel. The meeting was an effort to form an alliance between the two parties.

Unfortunately, Sith assassin Jor Tolin and Imperial agent Morrigan Corde managed to foil the proposed alliance between Fel's loyalist forces and the GA remnant by making it appear that Bovark's shuttle opened fire on Admiral Stazi's shuttle. Both groups departed the Wheel, and hopes for an alliance were broken, at least for the moment. However, the Alliance was allowed to stay on the Wheel, unlike the Empire-in-exile, and thus the Wheel became one of the only known command centers for the Galactic Alliance Remnant.

Some portions of Alliance space had yet to be subdued or captured by 137 ABY. These regions and worlds continued to support and supply the Galactic Alliance Remnant. Among these worlds was Mon Calamari, which, although under Imperial control, covertly sent the Alliance parts, supplies and new recruits.

The Alliance scored a major victory at the Battle of Mon Calamari. Despite what appeared to be a trap set by Admiral Dru Valan, the Alliance was able to devastate the Outer Rim Third Fleet, steal the Advanced Star Destroyer Imperious, and inflict crippling damage on the Mon Calamari Shipyards, thus depriving the Sith Empire of one of its main sources of starships. The Alliance then set out to fully activate the Imperious combat systems so they could make more major assaults.

After Fel's Imperial Knights helped Stazi to reverse sabotage that had been done to the Imperious and rescue his people from captivity, Stazi agreed to negotiate an alliance with Fel's forces.

The CF9 Crossfire was the primary starfighter of the Remnant. The Remnant also employed several types of capital ships, including the Scythe-class battle cruiser and a variety of support ships.

Behind the scenes
During a recent online chat conducted by TheForce.Net, Jan Duursema was asked several questions regarding the Galactic Alliance Remnant. One chat participant asked "Who are they", to which Duursema replied, "Galactic Alliance Core Forces? We'll see more of them later on."

During the same online chat, another participant asked "I would presume GACF is the 'remnant' of the Galactic Alliance... the rebels of the day? :D". Ms. Duursema then replied "like that."

Randy Stradley recently confirmed in a thread on the Jedi Council Forums that the GACF has several other ships designed by Sean Cooke: "Sean has designed a very cool looking main battle cruiser for the Legacy Era Galactic Alliance, and is in the process of designing a fleet of smaller support craft, missile cruisers, and the like. You'll be seeing the first of the GA craft in Legacy #8, And then more and more of them after that."
