Union Movement

The Union Movement (15 BBY—14 BBY), also called the Secession Movement, was a political conflict towards the beginning of the Imperial Era in which thousands of star systems seceded from the Galactic Empire and pledged their loyalty to Darth Midous, forming the United Front. The conflict took place following the Declaration of the Union and was manipulated by Midous. The Sith Lord's goal was to form a force powerful enough to overthrow the Empire, which would allow him to reconstruct the United Front into a Sith Empire and reunite the Sith. The plan was initially put together during the Clone Wars by Midous and his Sith Master Darth Tyranus, publicly known as Count Dooku. With the passing of Dooku, Midous felt it was his responsibility to carry on the legacy, causing him to plot on the destruction of the Empire.
