Diversity Alliance

The Diversity Alliance was a radical alien-supremacist terrorist group led by the Twi'lek Nolaa Tarkona from the planet Ryloth and spread across the galaxy, rallying support from non-humans as a result of the injustices inflicted on them by the Galactic Empire. However, Tarkona also planned on using bioterrorism to attack Humans once she learned of and secured the Emperor's plague storehouse. A colony on Gammalin was destroyed by one such plague, but Jedi Master Luke Skywalker intervened, while Tarkona herself perished after being infected by a Twi'lek-specific disease. In the wake of the collapse of the Diversity Alliance, the Cooperative Council of Independent Planetary Governments was formed to promote cooperation between the species of the New Republic.
