Legend

this was the primary governmental body of the Virgillian Systems, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Aristocracy held tyrannical control over the various star systems, and their control was eventually opposed by the Virgillian Free Alignment just before the Clone Wars began. The Aristocracy fought mightily against the Alignment, and managed to receive backing from the Empire during the height of the New Order. However, the forces of the Alignment eventually allied themselves with the Alliance, and the Virgillian Civil War began in earnest. The seven-year conflict was ultimately won by the Virgillian Free Alignment, which overthrew the Aristocracy and took democratic control of the Virgillian systems just before the Battle of Endor.
