Chiss Confederation

The Chiss Confederation was the government ruled by Miss'tra'narwan and was responsible for the Chiss Civil War. Claiming that his followers and his government were fighting for civil rights, Stran waged war against the peacful Chiss Ascendancy.

The Confederation changed to the Chiss Empire when they conquered the Ascendancy.

Seceding
The Chiss Confederation was formed in late 3,732 BBY by a young Chiss leader named Miss'tra'narwan. He, along with several other "civil leaders" in the Chiss, believed, rather manipulated others to believe, that the Chiss was oppressing their people and killing young children. The propoganda spread to every corner of the galaxy, leading to several movements in the Galactic Republic and the Mandalorian Republic to end the oppression. Mandalorian Lenon Grasto convinced Stran to secede from the Chiss Ascendancy and take them over. He would soon give aid once he completed his task, the same one but with the Mandalorians.

A Civil Movement Turns to a Civil War
In late 3,732 BBY, the small civil movement started by Stran turned into a very large civil war. Stran signed the Decleration of Confederation and the Confederate Charter three weeks before the first battle of the war with three other civil leaders. All who signed agreed Stran was the most suitable to be leader.

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 Confederation was created. The Chiss Confederation 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 Confederation 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 Confederate 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 Confederation 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 Confederation. 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.

The battle started with a small portion of the Confederation Fleet attacking the docked ships. Stran had dictated that their might was so great and the Chiss Ascendancy was so inferior that only a small group could attack and take the planet. Boy, were they wrong.

The CF landed on Crustai only five hours after the battle started but it would take two more days until the battle was over. Reports had brought in false numbers of the Chiss troops stationed on the planet. The reports told of 10,000 but they really had 35,000. Because of this, Stran only sent 15,000 troops, and most were inexperianced.

The Chiss Army met the Confederation in the jungle. It was a battle was fierce and neither side was ready for the jungle warfare. Each side had heavy casualties with a Chiss Ascendancy victory. Once the Chiss Army had driven away the Chiss Confederatio, the casualties were counted. One the Chiss side was 17,439 dead and the Chiss Confederation had 13,932 dead. Stran was furious.

Raid on Csilla
After the loss at Crustai, the Chiss Confederation was very low on supplies and food. The Mandalorians sent aid and reinforcements but it was not enough. It actually was more than enough but Stran wanted to strike back at the Chiss Ascendancy and this gave him the pefect motive.

The motive was to infiltrate the capital city on Csilla, cause havoc in which the authorities couldn't respond to, steal many ammunition, food, and weapons, kidnap up to ten civilians and five military men, get out with few casualties. There was a slim chance of success but Stran didn't care. He chose fifty of his best commandos, along with fifteen other Mandalorians to help train and carry out the mission, to make his dream come true.

In the early morning of the next day circa 3,731 BBY, it happened. Chiss Confederation and Mandalorian commandos ran through houses, stealing anything they could get their hands on, and kidnapping people. The Chiss military could do nothing in the morning; almost everyone was asleep. Even some of the people they kidnapped and robbed were asleep.

The commandos came to the military base where they stormed in and killed many enemy Chiss. They blasted their way to the armories where they put in the stolen military codes. Each armory was a gold mine of militant supplies vital to the Chiss Confederation and the war effort. They took all they could with them, making a total of three trips.

The casualties on the Chiss Confederation side were low with two dead and four wounded, one severely. The Chiss Ascendancy, on the other hand, had over thirty soldiers dead and about sixty civilians dead. Stran would use the hostages he had to gain even more supplies. This was the first successful battle for the Chiss Confederation.

Battle of Yashuvhu
The Battle of Yashuvhu was the second full-scale battle of the Chiss Civil War and the climax of the conflict. After the Raid on Csilla, in which about fifteen hostages had been taken, the Chiss Ascendancy was furious. They pleaded for all the hostages to be returned in exchange of over 3,000,000,000 credits and several tons of supplies, food, weapons. Each government set up a date and place for the switch but the Chiss Ascendancy had set it as a trap.

Stikke had warned Stran of a potential trap and Stran took the advice, ordering the Grand Admiral to set the entire fleet on the other side of Yashuvhu. The orders were to fire on all enemy ships if the presence of enemy craft exceded the aloud limit.

The Chiss Ascendancy had also sent their entire fleet with Grand Admiral Tor'en'sando. Rens would stay far from the planet and in stealth mode until the Chiss negotiators determined it was the proper time to strike. They did not expect the Confederation to have their entire fleet waiting.
