Eternal Alliance

The Alliance was a resistance movement that was established in 3632 BBY in an attempt to oppose the oppression of Emperor Arcann of the Eternal Empire. It was organized in the years after the armies of Zakuul ravaged the known galaxy and subjugated both the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire.

Following the Battle of Asylum, elements from both the Republic and Sith Empire realized that the Eternal Empire was not invincible. The movement was initially organized by the individual known as the Outlander on the planet Odessen, a force-neutral planet making it a perfect place for an alliance between the light side-aligned Republic and dark-side aligned Empire, whereupon a fortress was constructed into the base of a cliff which would serve as the Alliance's base of operations during the coming war. Although the resistance movement started small, it gradually grew into a larger force, consisting of individuals from both the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, such as Theron Shan, Lana Beniko, Major Pierce, Bey'wan Aygo, Hutt doctor Juvard Illip Oggurobb, and Hylo Visz, among many other specialists. Once the Alliance established itself as a force to be reckoned with, the Outlander was named the commander of the organization, and ultimately helped it grow in strength as well as lead a series of tactical strikes against the Eternal Empire's Star Fortresses.

During the Battle of Odessen, the Outlander was successful in defeating Arcann and securing victory for the Alliance by destroying Arcann's flagship and that portion of the Eternal Fleet; but Senya took the wounded Arcann and escaped into Wild Space.

The flagship of the fledgling fleet was an ancient alien frigate known as the Gravestone, captained by former Zakuulian soldier Koth Vortena. In the aftermath of the battle many vessels from both the Sith Empire and the Republic made their way to Odessen to bolster the Alliance's forces.
