The Flail was a terrorist organization active on Coruscant during the years immediately before the Battle of Naboo. Self-justified with The Flail Manifesto, the Flail accused the politicians of its time of corruption, particularly of benefiting specific companies while slighting the individual citizen. Strangely, The Flail was mostly composed of Humans, and although they accepted aliens such as Twi'leks into the organization, they were not readily preferred. The Flail considered that the Galactic Senate was particularly corrupt.
