One particularly serious uprising occurred on Carida, an important system near the heart of the Empire. Lacking the ability to project sufficient power everywhere at once, the Empire prioritized its efforts in putting down the myriad revolts.
Whole systems were withdrawing from the Empire and declaring their allegiance to a new “Rebel Alliance”, vowing to stand together to bring freedom to the galaxy.Ĭaught off guard by the suddenness and pervasiveness of the revolt, the Empire struggled to muster its forces in response. The farther the system from the Empire’s seat of power, however, the fewer the Imperial resources, and the less sympathetic the population. In the coreward systems most of these uprisings were brutally, and often easily, repressed. Jensen’s attack at Sullust dozens of planets throughout the known galaxy saw spontaneous uprisings against Imperial control.
