Legend

this was the name given to the underground resistance movement that grew on the planet Romin, during the reign of dictator Roy Teda, several years before the Battle of Geonosis. Led by Joylin, the Citizens' Resistance grew swiftly, until it was able to gain the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, and their apprentices, Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin. The Jedi were on Romin in the guise of the Slams, and helped steal security and access codes from Teda's palace to help the resistance eliminate the security droids and launch their revolution. Although it was supposed to be a bloodless coup, the years of being forced to live in squalor led the rebels to launch an all-out attack on the wealthy natives of Eliior. In one night, the Citizens' Resistance managed to destroy the Security Management Control and take possession of Teda's palace.
