Firebird Society

"Throughout the Galactic Civil War a truth had been made evident; women can be the equals of men in war. The rebels embraced this truth and were strengthened in return! To its detriment the Empire did not and was hobbled by outdated chauvinistic beliefs! We do not ask for payback, we simply wish for the playing field to be evened, so women of skill and drive may show their worth in enforcing the will of the Empire!" Major General Corvea explaining the reason of the Firebird Society's existence during its first public address.

The Firebird Society is a political organization aimed at bringing about gender equality in the Imperial military. While the group is mainly composed of mainly female Imperial military personnel, it also includes a significant number of male members who sympathize with their goals on a personal level as well as members who believe ignoring promising officers on the basis of sex is wasteful. Although exact figures are hard to come by, the organization is conformed to have over 200 million members across all rank levels of the Imperial military.

History
The Firebird Society was founded almost a year after the battle of Endor and merely days following the Galactic Concordance by Major General Corvea, Fleet Admiral Culver and General Mulveras. The three had a shared belief that the Imperial military had weakened itself by embracing chauvinistic attitudes and that countless officers had been ignored for the sake of maintaining male dominance.
