- ―A Republic supporter referring to the Ord Mantell Separatists
The Mantellian Separatist Movement were an organization formed on Ord Mantell during the Cold War. After the Treaty of Coruscant, many planets seceded from the Galactic Republic to join the Sith Empire or pursue independence. The corrupt planetary government of Ord Mantell opted to remain loyal to the Republic, however many on the planet desired independence. The resulting separatist movement sparked a civil war on the planet, with the government receiving backing from both the Republic and elements of the criminal underworld. The Ord Mantell separatists established a network of underground bases from which they launched guerrilla attacks on government targets. The attacks resulted in the destruction of the Ord Mantell landscape and the destabilization of the government. Being a grassroots force, the Separatists are unusually well-equipped, with standardized armor and weapons, as well as heavy weaponry, suggesting secret involvement by the Empire.
