Rathian Systems Alliance

The Rathian Systems Alliance, more commonly known as "The Militia", was a government that existed just prior to and during the Clone Wars. It consisted of the planets Rathia and Tropikus, as well as the desert Rathian moon of Arthame. The Supreme Leader was Premier Adali Morker, a Parolan-Rathian President who changed the system's government approximately 10 years before the outbreak of the war to a complete totalitarian regime.

The movement started out with the formation of a militia, comprised of farmers, traders, construction workers, and other average citizens. The people of the Rathian system were split when it came to politics. Some spoke out against the Premier, others were completely loyal, and some were indifferent and went on with their daily lives. Those who spoke out against him were deemed enemies of the people and publicly shamed, with the Militia acting as a police force and kidnapping the Premier's public enemies to silence them.

After the Militia seized the moon of Arthame to make way for their new allies the Tropikan Empire, a distress call was sent out to the Republic, who finally became involved after 2 decades of inaction. The Republic became the focus of Militia attacks, before the Grand Army invaded Rathia to put an end to the government. The Rathian Systems Alliance was known for cowardly terrorist attacks, even bombing innocent civilians to achieve their goals. Chancellor Palpatine publicly denounced the actions of the Militia, stating, "The Republic will no longer tolerate these cowardly actions carried out by the Rathian government. Several army detachments will be sent to the planet to put an end to this war against Democracy." After hearing this, the Militia set up their defenses and awaited the inevitable invasion of their planet.

The Militia is considered one of the first of many rebellions to form in this galactic period.
