United Front

The United Front, also known as the Sith Empire, the Separatist Front, or simply as the Union, was a fascist dictatorship formed from thousands of star systems across the galaxy that seceded from the Galactic Empire during the early years of its reign. It was founded to replace the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which was defeated by the Galactic Republic at the end of the Clone Wars. With the galaxy entering a state of turmoil known as the "Dark Times," the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Midous established the Union on the planet Ord Cestus, seeking to gain political influence and advance his plans for galactic domination. Furthermore, he secretly gained support from the various Separatist holdouts and the Centralist Faction within the Imperial Senate, who was concerned about the Empire's harsh military oppression and aggressive expansion, calling for the Empire to be overthrown. 
The United Front traced its origins back to the formation of the Acolyte Order, a splinter group of the Sith that followed the Rule of One. Under the leadership of Darth Midous, the Order sought to threaten the plans of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who betrayed the Confederate Head of State Count Dooku to ascend as Galactic Emperor. Therefore, Midous publicly declared the formation of the Union and ascended to the self-appointed title of Grand Leader, marking the beginning of the Sith Civil War against the Empire. His reign was enforced by his Sith Acolytes and led by the Grand Acolyte Darth Arcane, who acted as the informal Commander-in-Chief of the United Front Military. Rising to power on a groundswell of Separatist sympathizers and anti-Imperial idealists, and capitalizing on his former apprenticeship to Dooku, Midous gained enough support to avenge his master's untimely passing.
