Confederacy to Restore The Empire

"'Hello, Admiral Ackbar, I trust you have been informed of my challenge, haven't you?' -Ichavi Kanon"

The Confederacy to Restore the Empire was a major Imperial Remnant that nearly reunified the Empire with the exception of it's rival Imperial Remnant, the ORA. Its leader for most part until its ending days was Ichavi Kanon, but after, it would come under the control of the Prell family.

Structure
The Confederacy, differently from the other Imperial Remnant, kept to their values but being founded by the most egalitarian Imperials ever. It was a federation made up of previous Imperial Remnants that had united: United Planets of Cerea, the Imperial Federation and the Prell Consortium. It had a senate but it had no real power, only working to inform its leader of events and have the sectors work with each other. The head of State was called the Federator and the senate answered to it. The Federator was equivalent to the Emperor of the old Empire whilst the senate worked similiary to the Imperial Senate. Senators were appointed instead by their due leaders (the term New Republic officials called them was Warlord), offering an unseen advantage of the elite class over the other planets, yet kept the illusion some democratic values were instilled.

All sectors could make diplomatic deals with several nations with exception of war and they could go on independent campaigns, not needing approval from anyone but themselves.

This egalitarian approach was what let the Prells take charge in the end and what forced Kanon to flee

History
The Confederacy was originally formed when the Prells surrendered over the Battle of Corellia and were given the option to join in with the Imperial Federation. Afterwards, in a meeting which they negotiated the exact terms of the deal between the two, the formation of the CRE and its respective senate was agreed. The Prell Consortium ended up submitting to this deal and while they had control of their own world still, they lacked the power and authority the Federator. In paper, the Imperial Federation essentially had control of Corellia now.

As time went on, they achieved some moderate victories and losses against the New Republic and eventually managed to get a third imperial remnant, United Planets of Cerea, to join them.

Following the Second Battle of Kuat, moderate losses and victories were gained as Kanon managed to take the fleet above Kuat along with its ground defenses. However the shipyards were never taken meaning the planet had been in conflict between the Republic, Reincarnation Loyalists and the Confederacy for a number of months. The battle would be one of the longest ongoing conflicts of that time. The Republic tried to take out Bespin and Hoth and did hold the planets for several days before being forced out. However senators and military officials were arrested and charged for war crimes.

After this incident, the Prells pulled a vote of no confidence and a coup d'etat on Kanon, the Federator. The Prells seized control for themselves with Julian Prell now the Federator. The Ex-Federator Ichavi Kanon took her fleet over Anoat and fled to the Unknown Regions searching for the rumoured Imperial Remnant that would later re-emerge as the First Order. Soon afterwards, the Prells unified with the ORA in a treaty which would finally unite all major Remnants, and forming the Second Galactic Empire.

Legacy
After the death of Kanon and unification with the Outer Rim Authority, several Kanon loyalists as they were called remained alive, believing either in a senate or in the cause of a federation, those groups were divided into autocrats and liberals respectively, a few caused problems for the Second Galactic Empire but many kept their mouth shut.

On 10 ABY, once the phantom faction started making itself know, a few of those loyalists were contacted by Ichavi and several rebel cells believing in the federation were created, even nearly making a suicide attack at the Kuat drive-yards, those rebel cells eventually started becoming even more and more organized as Kanon gained influence in the Second Empire.
