Declaration of the Union

The Declaration of the Union was a declaration by the Sith Lord Darth Midous that marked the founding of the United Front. From the Ord Cestus Capitol Building on Ord Cestus, Midous claimed that Emperor Sheev Palpatine was no longer fit to govern the galaxy and called for new leadership, claiming that he only sought control and dominance over his citizens. After signing the Treaty of Ord Cestus to form the United Front in 18 BBY, Midous publicly announced the founding of the unrecognized state and appointed himself its absolute ruler. He then encouraged others to support the cause and stand with him against the Galactic Empire, which resulted in the Galactic Secession, in which thousands of star systems began to secede from the Empire and join the Union, in favor of Midous' speech.
