Free Ryloth Movement

The Free Ryloth Movement (FRM) was a resistance movement led by General Cham Syndulla to liberate the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth from the Galactic Empire during its reign. Similar to Saw Gerrera's Partisans, the Free Ryloth Movement was a rebel cell loosely affiliated with the more galaxy-wide Alliance to Restore the Republic, but focused more on engaging the Empire on their home territory. The organization consisted of hundreds of guerrilla fighters — both Twi'leks and non-Twi'leks — that Cham had personally recruited and trained, including veterans of the earlier Twi'lek resistance against the Separatist occupation during the Clone Wars. In addition, the Free Ryloth Movement had many contacts and informants scattered throughout the Ryloth system, several hidden bases, and hoarded materiel. Due to the numerical and military superiority of the Empire's garrison, the Free Ryloth Movement conducted hit-and-run guerrilla attacks.
At one point, the Free Ryloth Movement attempted to assassinate Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine and his apprentice Darth Vader. However, this attempt proved unsuccessful, with the rebels suffering heavy casualties and losing several key Imperial spies. Some time later, the Free Ryloth Movement joined forces with the Spectres rebel cell — led by Syndulla's daughter Hera — to remove a Quasar Fire-class cruiser carrier that was bombarding Ryloth. Eventually, the Free Ryloth Movement attracted the attention of Grand Admiral Thrawn of the Imperial Navy, a consummate strategist who studied Twi'lek culture, art, and philosophy to devise tactics that led to the fall of Tann Province.
