Begali Uprising

The Begali Uprising, also known as the Bengali Uprising, was an uprising led by the world Begali against the Echani Command, the female council that governed a confederation of six Echani-dominated planets known as the Six Sisters that began in the year 1154 BBY. Begali was joined in revolt by the Thyrsians, an Echani subspecies from the planet Thyrsus, another of the Six Sisters.

Though the uprising nominally ended with the return of Begali to the Six Sisters less than a century later, hostility between the Thyrsians and Echani Command continued until the Pact of Almera in 899 BBY recognized Thyrsian independence.

The Begali Uprising was most well-known as being the event that introduced the use of force pikes to galactic warfare.
