Alliance-in-exile

The Galactic Alliance-in-exile was the government set up in 40 ABY by former Joint Chief of State Number One Cha Niathal after the Second Battle of Fondor.

Battle of Fondor
During the Battle of Fondor, the tensions that had arisen between JCOS-1 Cha Niathal and JCOS-2 Jacen Solo finally came to public enmity. Both proceeded to relieve the other of command (Solo claiming his superiority of a Chief of Staff to a Supreme Commander and Niathal claiming hers as an Admiral to a Colonel).

Aftermath
Because Jacen Solo, now known as Darth Caedus had limped back to Coruscant, he claimed the Galactic Capital and what remained of the Alliance as the sole Chief of State. Niathal, left with her fleet and a battle-scarred Fondor, and believing that she had no chance in a slugging match of fleets above Coruscant, declared an Alliance-in-exile with herself as its head, based at Fondor.
