Five Worlds

Sometime between 36 and 40 ABY, a loose coalition of worlds led by Corellia arose that challenged the benefits of membership in the Galactic Alliance.

History
Following the conclusion of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Corellia was rewarded by the Galactic Alliance by the removal of the office of the Governor-General. The Five Brothers were united through a system government, with each planet electing its own Head of State and the system led by Prime Minister Aidel Saxan.

While much of the Galaxy had been ravaged by the war, Corellia emerged relatively unscathed, placing it in a position to increase its already impressive economic power and offer reconstruction loans to less fortunate planets. As Corellia prospered, it forgave wartime criminals like Thracken Sal-Solo, who was subsequently elected the system’s Minister of War and Head of State of Corellia, and began to chaff against the Galactic Alliance as it had the New Republic and Galactic Republic before it.

Over the decade following the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, Corellia’s desire for independence festered and spread, tapping the natural haughty pride of Corellia. Corellia began to delay its conscription contributions and tax payments to the Alliance, while making use of Alliance infrastructure and trade benefits. It also stood against the defense limits imposed by the Alliance, but made no public challenge. Slowly, other industrialized planets like Commenor, Fondor, and Bespin developed similarly overt rebellious streaks.

In secret, Corellia began building a fleet comparable to a planetary assault force, supplied by planets like Adumar that produced weapons in violation of Alliance law. Meanwhile, Corellian scientists worked to bring Centerpoint Station online, hoping to once again use it as leverage. As tensions grew, Corellia’s soft rebellion led to the imprisonment of key Corellians like Wedge Antilles, whom Alliance Intelligence perceived as a potential threat.

Military forces
The military forces of the allianbce consisted of the resurrected CorSec and the Corellian Defense Force, under the leadership of a Minister of Defense.
