The Flame

"'There is much to be wanted for the worlds. Worlds that are forgotten because they aren't 'Important'. We have little voice until we cry out in rage. Then all you get is angry looks for not being a quiet little tool.' - Darius Asman, on the Outer Rim"The Flame for a New Hope is a regional power and a farming nation residing over Ukio and nearby star systems. It is led by the High Councillor Darius. It holds a small stable economy and is highly dependant on trade, both imports and exports for defense and economy. It currently is under a sphere of influence under the New Republic.

Structure
The Flame for a New Hope is an oligarchy led by 12 councillors which are elected by its people, two from each system within the nation. Most decisions are voted on by this council, and its high councillor, Darius Asman, is the Ukio representative on the council.

It holds a small militia and fleet; it's military hierarchy has generals being both naval and ground commanders, similar to the Jedi Generals in the Grand Republic

History
The Flame was originally a splinter rebel cell led by Darius Asman that due to the lack of communication and being outside of Yavin during the battle, grew distant from the Rebel Alliance and the Core Worlds. But when the New Republic was created, they joined with them and Darius Asman became the senator of Ukio

On 6 ABY, they declared independence all along and formed a new nation after growing frustration. They felt that, like the Grand Republic before, their voices were being ignored. The Flame for a New Hope was founded and it certainly had 3 instable years but now is beginning to prosper. The Kaminoan people had their clone factories made operable again by them and so far it has been good for them.
