History

Founding

After Cayden left Onderon, Emperor Moore dispatched Keldabe-class Battlecruiser HMIS Recovery to "recover" Bimmiel for the Onderonian Empire. The Recovery was armed to the teeth with weapons, ranging from simple anti-fighter cannons, to planet-busting batteries.

The Bimmiel Navy mustered their entire force, 3 corvettes and a handful of fighters, to repel the incoming Onderonian Imperial Naval (OIN) forces.

The second the Recovery entered the system, the Bimmiel Navy raced to it's location and began pounding the ship with torrents of laser cannon fire. The Onderonian ship, unexplainably not returning fire, maintained it's course towards Bimmiel until it was in geo-synchronous orbit over the planet. It maneuvered itself into position over Caput City, and began firing multiple barrages of turbolaser fire onto the city below.

The Bimmiel ships, however, never once stopped pounding the Recovery's shields, hoping that one would make it through and distract the ship long enough to evacuate the city.

Finally, however, the Recovery, fed up with being pounded on for hours, opened fire on the small Bimmiel Navy, forcing the much smaller ships to take evasive maneuvers without putting the Recovery out of their firing range. The poor tactics of the small Navy almost resulted in their demise, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of then-Colonel Cayden Tavers and a fleet of Mandalorian and New Republic ships. The new reinforcements, along with the Bimmiel Navy, began pushing the lone Onderonian Battlecruiser back to the edge of the Kanz Sector.

When it's destruction was at hand, the Recovery escaped into hyperspace, bound for Onderon to report it's failure to it's superiors.

Maj. Gen. Cayden Tavers, now reunited with Bimmiel, forged an alliance between themselves, the Mandalorians, and the New Republic, calling themselves the "Independent System Allied Forces" or "ISAF" for short.

Anthem

Yes we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
We will rally from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors, up with the stars;
While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

We are springing to the call with a million freemen more,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And we'll fill our vacant ranks of our brothers gone before,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors, up with the stars;

Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And although he may be poor, he shall never be a slave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
