| - The Griffons Alliance was a small martial government formalized promptly after the Battle of Endor as a means of safeguarding freedom (to its members) and people's ability to mind their own defence. This group operated as an oligarchy, with government directed by equal tribes called stands, headed by an Armiger. They formed an intricate, heavily-martialized society that could best be described as "military socialism" in nature. They were able to draw their populace from many of the Colonies and Core Worlds and employ "Old World" values with exceptional technology. Because of their limited population, a great deal of automation was installed in their day to day life, as each and every member of the society had some kind of connection to military service.

Because of their limited population, a great deal of automation was installed in their day to day life, as each and every member of the society had some kind of connection to military service. Despite their size, the Griffons did much to impact galactic events in the years following the toppling of Palpatine's Empire. They maintained a loose confederation with the fledgling New Republic, but never formally created ties to it, viewing the "superpower" as too chaotic and corruptible, and too willing to capitulate to negotiation than to engage itself in armed confrontation when events demanded. Their doctrine began to get the notice of several star systems throughout populated space, from one end of the galaxy to the other, but not in any substantial quantity. The height of the Alliance coincided with the discovery and emergence of Emperor Bacharan Valak's third Death Star, and the Griffons felt motivated to act in the face of the surmounting oppression that was sure to come. Acting in a realm they were ill-equipped to prosper in, that of subterfuge and trickery, they boldly defied the Empire and contributed significantly to the Death Star's eventual destruction. The repercussions would be equally damaging, though, as within three years, the Empire eradicated all vestiges of Griffon's sovereignty.
