Confederacy of Pirate Organisations (VRGuardian)

"Never in my time as an Admiral in the Clone Wars and during the Rise of the Empire was I as frightened at the prospect of facing an enemy fleet as I was with the Pirate Confederacy."

- Moff Jhenson in 3 BBY on Coruscant, five days after the end of the Galactic Pirate Insurrection.

The Confederacy of Pirate Organisations (Later the Union to Restore the Republic) was a military and economical coalition of various Pirate groups. During the Galactic Pirate Insurrection (8-3 BBY), the Confederacy became the Union to Restore the Republic, after the pirates sided with Mon Calamari and Corellian rebels to begin a general rebellion against the Imperial state.
