Mantellian Separatist Movement

The Ord Mantell Separatists were an organization formed on Ord Mantell during the Cold War. After the Treaty of Coruscant, many planets seceded from the Galactic Republic to join the Sith Empire or pursue independance. The corrupt planetary government of Ord Mantell opted to remain loyal to the Republic, however many on the planet desired independace. The resulting separatist movement sparked a civil war on the planet, with the government recieving backing from both the Republic and elements of the criminal underworld. The Ord Mantell separatists established a network or undergroud bases from which they launched geurilla attacks on government targets. The attacks resulted in the destruction of the Ord Mantell landscape and the destabilization of the government.
