Chiss Civil War (3,732 BBY)

The Chiss Civil War was a conflict which ended the Galactic Golden Age between the Chiss Ascendancy and the Chiss Alliance. It started in 3,932 BBY and ended in 3,933 BBY.

Growing Tensions
As the Galactic Golden Age was coming to a close, the interstellar economy crippling, and the Galactic Republic almost near bankruptcy, galactic alliances such as the Mandalorian Republic became increasingly weary of the falling Republic. Looking to keep their empires and republics together, civil leaders rose to power; the people would take any solution to get out of the Galactic Depression.

One of these leaders for the Chiss was Miss'tra'narwan, or known by his core name Stran. He told the Chiss people that they could take over their government and bring a new Chiss Golden Age and aid in rebuilding the Republic. The citizens, unfortunatly, believed.

The Mandalorians, too, had someone give the same exact accusations about their government. Lenon Grasto had started a mostly violent movement against the Mandalorian Republic claiming that the government has failed them and they can start it all over with a just and prosperous empire. This was, of course, just a scam to get support. Lenon really wanted to bring back the Mandalorian Empire that fell by the hands of Trams Nylos.

Stran had formed a friendship with Lenon and together, they told their people they would create a new Republic that wouldn't fail the galaxy again. Instead, they would bring an intergalactic war that's damage would lead down the centuries to the Galactic Empire.

Gaining an Army
The biggest figure on Stran's side was Grand Admiral Bres'tikk'egora, the lead admiral of the Chiss Fleet. Under his command were many loyal soldiers that would only answer to him. Stikke believed in Stran's ideals and joined his growing forces. This was the big addition and without Stikke, Stran wouldn't have won the war.

Once Stikke joined, the Chiss Alliance was created. The Chiss Alliance was a group of five different leaders against the Chiss Ascendancy, two of them including Stikke and Stran. Its capital planet is unknown; the Chiss Alliance is assumed to be more of an army than a government.

The army included most of the Chiss Fleet and the Stran Army. The Stran Army, which got its name from the Supreme Commander, Stran, had over 500,000 soldiers in it. Some statistics show a maximum of 1,365,970 soldiers. The opposing Chiss Army had about 850,000 soldiers in it at the time of the Chiss Civil War. The Chiss Fleet included many capital ships and various other assortments of ships from fighters to cruisers.

A Rough Start
In the closing weeks of the year 3,732 BBY, the Chiss Alliance began their first attack against the Chiss Ascendancy. The Battle of Crustai was the first offensive in the Chiss Civil War. Its casualties were heavy for both sides.

Stikke had told Stran that they needed to make an effort to take the Chiss Ascendancy by the end of the year if they were to keep most of their forces. Many had looked at rejoining the Ascendancy after three months of sitting around floating in space with the Chiss Alliance. Stikke proposed to attack the planet of Crustai. Stran agreed and set the date for two days from the meeting to make a quick strike.
