Virgillian Free Alignment

The Virgillian Free Alignment was a resistance group that fought against the ruling government of the Virgillia system, the Aristocracy, in the Virgillian Civil War from 25 BBY. When the Aristocracy aligned itself with the Galactic Empire, the Virgillian Free Alignment fought alongside the Rebel Alliance, who fought the Empire's reign throughout the galaxy. While the Aristocracy held control of all blaster technology in the system, the Free Alignment relied on comparatively primitive weapons including flintlocks and clubs until the Alliance provided blasters and starships, including the Quasar Fire-class bulk cruiser Flurry.

As the Galactic Civil War progressed, the Empire deemed the Virgillia system to be of sufficiently low value as to remove withdraw their forces, leaving the Aristocracy exposed. This would result in the Free Alignment achieve victory in the system shortly before the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, where they provided twenty-two warships in support of their Alliance compatriots.
