The Banori Republic

== Introduction ==
The Banori Republic is a group of about 2 planets and 5 moons. They started off as neutral at the beginning of the clone wars but have started to unite with other neutral systems to fight against both the republic and CIS. The reason being was that the Banori republic was one of the few planets in the galaxy who actively fought for droid rights and provided aid for most war torn planets. After seeing the abusive behavior of the clones of the republic and the amount of droids destroyed by the CIS the banori started to form alliances with nearby planets who either shared similar views or saw a chance to gain power in the war. The rough estimates of the Banori Republic's allies range from 4 to 12 planets and 5-16 moons. The former neutral planets are still not completely prepared for a galactic war but the Banori republic has started to attack forces in CIS space and some republic transports are reporting attacks on weapons cargos and even small frigates. The Banori republic have been reported to have armor that some people have described as "Droid armor", armor with its own working AI that may help the user in combat and with its tactics.

== Skirmish on Umbrum ==
When the troops of the Valkyrie venator went to Umbrum to free "Republic Civilians" from a CIS attack, conflict arose. When the Banori felt that the Republic had overstepped it's boundries a firefight broke out. Optio Fazek (the optio in charge of most of the Banori forces near the republic FOB) opened peace negotiations with WO Crippler and Master Crystal. Fazek had orders from the flagship that they were only to accept a ceasefire if the Republic left planet immediately. Mid conversation, Fazek was struck in the side with a lightsaber. Wounded, he attempted to escape, but was shot down by an unkown trooper. After the loss of Fazek, the command in the mothership was insulted, sent more men to Umbrum, and prepared for a full deployment. The republic would then evacuate the planet under the advice of Clone General Cards.
