Eternal Alliance

The Eternal Alliance was a joint coalition of former Republic and Imperial citizens that came together to fight the Eternal Empire, and then later dedicated themselves to galactic unity during the rebuilding phase. It was the first instance of the Jedi and Sith working together toward a common goal. The bonds founded by the Eternal Alliance were what ultimately led to it becoming a faction in it's own right.

The Eternal Alliance eventually dissolved after repeated instances of Republic aggression caused its leader, Darth Caida, to become disillusioned with the Republic. When the Republic and the Empire started gearing for war and the Alliance was forced to pick a side, Caida dedicated her forces to the Empire and publicly disowned the Jedi and the Republic. This eventually led to the Alliance's dissolution and Caida retreating from the known galaxy.

The Eternal Alliance was forgotten by the Republic, but the Beniko Family remember it as a tragic victim of the Republic's corruption. Darth Amorosa would later cite it's dissolution to Leia Organa as an example of why the Republic doesn't work.
