Republic of Worlds against Darth Dude

The Republic of Worlds Against Darth Dude was a miniature Republic formed by the Jedi Order during the war with Darth Dude as a way of unifying worlds and producing a stronger front.

Beginnings
In 54 ABY Jedi Master Xander Vos journeyed to Bespin and begun talks with the administrator of one of the gas cities to form a coalition between the two governments. Since the war's beginning in 39 ABY the Jedi had exposed themselves to the Galaxy, and their homeworld was no longer a secret.

In 55 ABY Jedi Master Vikro begun talks on Sullust about drawing it into the growing alliance. The following month Jedi Master Lyn Korak brought the ORS into the alliance on the economically rich world Eriadu.

With these four worlds (Bakura, Bespin, Sullust and Eriadu) the Republic of Worlds Against Darth Dude begun, with a Senate beginning construction the following year on Bespin.

With its completion in 57 ABY, Cerea, Belsavis, Sluis Van and other worlds of that sector joined the Republic, contributing their vast resources to the important organisation against a critical enemy.

Over time the Jedi slunk into the background, taking more of a minor role in the continuation in the Republic. Once the Darth Dude Conflict ended in 71 ABY with the Battle of Reldar Prime, the Republic gradually become strife with corruption, depending more on the Jedi, who had been told that they could depend on the Republic.

Following the miniature invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, the Jedi Council took direct action, passing a motion that all but disbanded the Republic, and over the next years the various member worlds returned to their own affairs.
