Fall of the Odestrian Imperium

The Fall of the Odestrian Imperium was the end result of a decades long decline caused by the ending of the Yuuzhan Vong War and the and the Alliance-Imperium war which followed in 89 ABY. Following the Yuuzhan-Vong invasion, many of the Imperium's planets lay in ruins, thousands becoming uninhabitable. The biggest hit was the planet of Chiev, the largest source of mineral export which the Imperium had as part of its economy. With the fall and subsequent "Vongforming" of Chiev, the Imperium fell into a massive decline which came to a head in 89 ABY. The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances wanted to add the Tri-Colonius or Kotavi Star Cluster into the state. In an attempt to negotiate this, talks broke down and a war over the Kotavi Star Cluster took place. The War drained much of what remained of the Odestrian military strength and following the conflict, the Imperium suffered the loss of the Tri-Colonius as well as the Shiak Cluster. In the wake of this, more and more Imperium Worlds began turning towards the Galactic Alliance and without the strength of the Odestrian Legion, the Imperium slowly fell apart, becoming a rump state around the Panasian Core and Inner Imperium.
