The Alliance of Rebellious Droids

"Our leaders have been killed by the one they call, Darth Vader, and all we have done is divide ourselves into small groups to challenge the Empire, but I say, we strike now, as brothers. We are Battle Droids and we will fight to free the galaxy and avenge our creators!"- OOM-44 The Alliance of Rebellious Droids (ARD) was an small droid-ruled government formed from the last Battle Droid forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It was first created in 17 BBY, when the rouge battle droid, OOM-44, rallied multiple Confederate droid units into attacking the Galactic Empire head on. It would first reveal itself to the Galactic Empire in 16 BBY, on the planet Dantooine, were OOM-44 led droid forces into battle against an Imperial Outpost. The attack ended in Alliance victory and the droids managed to discover the whereabouts of Darth Vader, a Sith Lord who the droids wanted to kill, as an attempt to avenge their fallen Confederate leaders. As a result, IG-56 was sent to the planet Kashyyyk, where Vader was, and attempted to kill the sith with a squadron of B2 Super Battle Droids and one AAT. The attempt failed, and IG-56 and all of his forces were destroyed by Vader and his forces. Vader would later throw IG-56's damaged body into the fires the Empire started on Kashyyyk.

The Alliance is pushed back
After the Battle of Kashyyyk ended, Darth Vader speculated that the droids were directly trying to attack him, and so ordered Clone Commander Appo to take a small fraction of the 501st Legion to the droid's HQ on the planet Rhen Var. OOM-44 discovered this early, and so, he set up a trap for the Empire and destroyed two out of the three Star Destroyers sent by Darth Vader. Never the less, the Empire was still able to break through the Droid Fleet and destroyed the base. After this, OOM-44 and his remaining droid forces then retreated into the Unknown Regions.

In the Unknown
With their base destroyed, and the Empire destroying every battle droid they came across, the droid alliance was forced to escape into the Unknown Regions. There, OOM-44 was able to set up an outpost on an uncharted planet in the Unknown called Yuuzhan'tar, there the droids ran into the Yuuzhan Vong. After two assaults against the droids, OOM-44 had one of his scouts, B1-775/C4 try to make negotiations with the Vong, but failed. However, about one week later, an Yuuzhan Vong named Nom Anor, who agreed to join the droids, along with some other Vong Warriors, if they allowed him to take him away from the Unknown Regions. OOM-44, desprate for allies, allowed this and the Alliance became the Droid-Anor Empire.

As an Empire
Although OOM-44 never wanted to become part of an Empire, or reform the Alliance into one, he did, just so that Anor and his Rouge Vong would join his conquest to destroy Darth Vader. However, as an Empire, the Alliance was able to take over many planets and soon attacked the Galactic Empire. The first few attacks proceeded in victory, but overtime, the Droid-Vong Empire would be defeated by its more powerful rival.
