Virgillian Free Alignment
this was the name of one of two factions which vied for control of the government of the Virgillian planets shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Alignment sought to win its freedom from the Virgillian Aristocracy, and the struggle for control was deemed so powerful that the Jedi Knights were asked to dispatch a team to mediate the dispute. Their struggle led to the full-scale conflict known as the Virgillian Civil War. As the civil war took its toll on the Virgillian people, it was the Alignment which finally defeated the Aristocracy. The Alignment, shortly after its victory near the height of the New Order, allied itself with the Alliance and sent a small fleet to assist in the Battle of Endor.
