Alliance of Free Planets

The Alliance of Free Planets was the interim government established in 4 ABY by the Alliance to Restore the Republic as part of its formal transition into the New Republic.
==History==
The Alliance of Free Planets existed only one month before the formal creation of the New Republic, yet made some important steps forward for the fledgling government. The Alliance of Free Planets, was formed one week after the Battle of Endor, in the aftermath of the Bakura Incident. The rebels defeated the Ssi-ruuk at Bakura, for the first time fighting alongside Imperial forces against a common foe. Though, the temporary alliance was fragile and marred with suspicion on both sides, it was an important symbolic move for the Alliance.The Truce at Bakura
To cement the gains made at the Battle of Endor, the First Conference of Free Peoples was convened to tackle many of the issues relating to internal governance and the formation of a more permanent body; the New Republic.
In this intervening period, the Alliance also had to contend with other hostile forces threatening to tear it apart. Grumblings from a number of member worlds over the leadership style led to a conference on Kabray, resolved by the swift action of Princess Leia and her Zeltron aides.Star Wars (1977) 95 The Hiromi Empire also tried to split them from within, using an inside agent Hirog to create war between two member species, the Ewoks and the Lahsbee. This could have caused a civil war if the Alliance members had been forced to take sides, but this also was averted.Star Wars (1977) 94
During this same period, the Alliance also had to contend with a Nagai-led coalition of Maccabree warriors and Imperial loyalists. After a fierce battle over Endor, resulting in a nominal victory only for the Alliance, they evacuated Endor and once again moved their capital. This conflict, was known as the Nagai–Tof War.Star Wars (1977) 100 After further encounters with the Nagai at Iskalon and Trenwyth, a confusing battle on Zeltros occurred.Star Wars (1977) 102Star Wars (1977) 103Star Wars (1977) 104 The Hiromi, Nagai, and the Tofs all separately invaded. In an extraordinary turn of events, the Tofs were repelled by a combined force of Alliance troops, Hiromi, Nagai and their Imperial supporters at the Battle of Saijo.Star Wars (1977) 107
