Sith Republic of Ziost (Line of False Time)

Background
Sith Republic of Ziost was founded in 52 ATC, many years after collapse and defeat of Galactic Republic and was consequence of slavery reformation within Sith Empire. Slavery reformation allowed Sith slaves to join Imperial Armed Forces and gain freedom through service within Sith Empire. Large number of slaves used this possibility. In most case, imperial commissars were able to divide slave-soldiers segment among other units, but on Ziost was accute deficit of regular soldiers and officers. Because of that, nearly 25% of Ziost garrison was composed by former slaves in 51 ATC. Among these slaves was Yusan Paytar, ambitious, former Galactic Republic army commander, who was captured and enslaved during "Conquest of Coruscant".

Yusan Paytar formed core of rebellion among slaves who became best soldiers and officers, military experts, experienced officers and tacticians. With this, with support from Hutt intelligence and local thugs and with support from remnants of SIS, colonel Yusan Paytar initiated rebellion.

Rebellion
Slave uprising was decisive and incredible shock for Ziost garrison. Local imperial intelligence, neither army commanders, did not take notice about forming rebel forces. Garrison commander, colonel Jawer, committed suicide when rebellion ignited.

Rebel attack squads were able to led assault on all important military structures, conquer army depots and supply routes, destroy intelligence headquarters and encircle loyalist forces in many quarters.

Sith Republic of Ziost
To gain support among population and consolide their position, rebels proclaimed their new regime as "Sith Republic" and announced amnesty for all slavers, all members of Imperial Intelligence and other "imperial war criminals". Very soon, rebels found out that only city of Ziost is under their control. In fact, two thirds of planet fall in civil war and anarchy between rebel and slave groups, loyalists, local militia and criminal groups.

Yusan proclaimed puppets institutes like "Revolutionary Parliament" or "Revolutionary Command Council", but was very soon forced to establishe rule of terror and extracourtial executions. Just in first three days after declaration of "Sith Republic", Yusan death squads murdered 7,000 imperial citizens, loyalists and rioters.

Yusan proclaimed also "Revolutionary Armed Forces of Ziost" and called captured loyalists to join RAFZ, but no one joined. Yusan found out he have lack of experienced army officers and most of his troops are undisciplined rioters. His best troops and officers died during rebellion.

Not mention about collapse of trade routes and supplying on Ziost, total blockade of planet by Imperial Navy and decay of agriculture and industry on planet. Most of food supplies and farm animals were stolen and selling on black market, while industry had lack of resources to work.
