Militarist/Legends

Militarists were a faction of senators in the late Galactic Senate. They wished to overturn the segments of the Ruusan Reformation that had stripped the Old Republic of its Army and Navy. Militarist senators were supported by many of the regional military academies, notably the Academy of Carida.

Until his death in 44 BBY, Ranulph Tarkin led the Militarist faction, going so far as to assemble a paramilitary force to deal with the Stark Hyperspace War. During his time as its leader, the Militarist faction became associated with Humanocentrism.

Several years later, during the Separatist Crisis, Militarists pushed for the passage of the Military Creation Act. Prominents militarists at this time included Orn Free Taa, Aks Moe, and Onaconda Farr. They were supported by the Stark Veterans Association.
