Centralists

The Centralists were one of two major political factions within the Imperial Senate prior to the commencement of the Union Movement. Opposed to the Loyalists, the faction's members opposed the absolute rule of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine over the Galactic Empire and the New Order ideology, which the Loyalists strongly believed in. Although direct opposites, the Centralists and Loyalists equally agreed on the establishment of a central government with authority over the galaxy, but differed on who would be fit to lead the government. The Sith Lord Darth Midous used the faction to support his political movement and validate the formation of the United Front. Towards the end of the political crisis, members of the Centralists succeeded from the Empire and it's senate to form the United Front, in allegiance to Midous.
