The Phasasites was an interstellar paramilitary organization formed in 3,945 BBY by Ater Phasas'a. Starting as a loose alliance of planetary-level, system-level and sector-level security forces, they were formed into an indirect military opposition to the Sith Order of Decreto. It was formed to combat what they saw as the weakening powers of the Dark Lord Sam Sinays. While less numerous and less powerful than the army of the Sith Order of Decreto, the Phasasites possessed a strong will to fight, dedicated soldiers, and brilliant commanders.
