Army of Free Milagro

The Army of Free Milagro was a resistance group organized on in the wake of Mali Darakhan's successful 1,386 BBY campaign to expel the Sith from Milagro and set up a pro-Republic interim government. United by the concept of "Free Milagro Only"—the belief that Milagro should return to its pre-war status of independence from both the and the New Sith Empire—AFM was led by retired Master Sergeant Ternis Sepzee. AFM was responsible for a number of guerrilla and terrorist activities, including an attempted assassination of Darakhan and Khofin of Knylenn, mortar strikes, sabotage of public utilities in pro-Republic areas, and murders or attacks on Republic-friendly Milagroans. Among its most brazen actions were the murder of a Republic Marine and her Milagroan girlfriend in a daytime shooting and the of  recruit Sajie Kraycer.

Exactly what relationship existed between AFM and the Free Milagro Party was a matter of dispute. The pro-Republic Milagro Forward Party and National Union Party often charged that FMP was nothing but a public face for AFM, while FMP leader Sendray Beethar denied involvement in AFM's actions but openly supported its goal of an independent Milagro.

AFM and the Flame of Retribution were, together, called the "Second Resistance". Much like the first Resistance, however, the two groups did not collaborate.
