GENERAL INFORMATION
Name: The Ascension of the Many (901-903 ABY)
Reform Type: Military, Political
Reform Passage: Passed through the restructuring of the Foundation following major military victories, political negotiations, and Mother Askani’s abdication.
Description: The Ascension of the Many marked the transition of the Foundation from a clandestine movement to an organized resistance force governed by the Civil Command Council. This decentralized structure replaced singular leadership with a collective body, ensuring diversity, adaptability, and ethical oversight. The reform was driven by the need for sustainable structuring and leadership as the Foundation expanded beyond small operations in its infancy into an open rebellious model.
EVENTS (Roughly)
Event Name: The Gathering of the Dispossessed (901 ABY)
Participants:
- Dissidents, refugee advocates, anti-Imperial intellectuals
- Humanitarian volunteers and rogue medics
- Jedi refugees and wanderers
- Naboo-based grassroots organizers
Overview: In the aftermath of escalating regional conflicts and the growing refugee crisis in the Southern Systems, Naboo became a haven for displaced peoples and those disillusioned by galactic institutions. Within this humanitarian catastrophe, a loosely connected web of volunteers, political dissidents, exiled Jedi, and organizers banded together to provide food, shelter, and aid. Among them was Mother Askani, who quietly began to cultivate relationships, not as a general, but as a listener and unifier.
Originally a relief-focused operation, the humanitarian network began taking in more radicalized elements: rogue Jedi, ex-military defectors, and disenfranchised citizens from the core worlds. As systemic neglect and oppression became more evident, the group organically fractured into cells—some focused on aid, others turning to sabotage and resistance. Over time, the humanitarian network became a front for this budding insurgency. What began as a fight for survival and scattered acts of kindness laid the foundation for a revolutionary movement.
Event Name: The Liberation of the Deep Core (902 ABY)
Overview: A decisive campaign led by the Foundation that expelled Imperial forces from key Deep Core strongholds. The acquisition of an 80-million-credit Imperial payroll provided the movement with substantial financial independence, amongst other financial backing. This victory necessitated a shift from covert operations to structured operations -- giving it space it didn't have before to expand.
Event Name: The Silent Charter of the Ivory Order (902 ABY)
Overview: A clandestine legal maneuver in Empress Teta that legitimized the Foundation’s operations by distinguishing its humanitarian efforts from military resistance. This framework prevented accusations of war crimes and enabled diplomatic engagement.
Event Name: The Humanitarian Conference on Naboo (902 ABY)
Overview: A diplomatic summit uniting the Royal Naboo Republic and the Confederacy to address the refugee crisis. The conference demonstrated the necessity of a diplomatic branch within the resistance, influencing the Civil Command Council’s structure.
Event Name: The Foundation’s Declaration of Purpose (903 ABY)
Overview: The formal proclamation of open resistance against the Dark Empire. This declaration solidified the Foundation’s commitment to operating in open resistance.
Event Name: The Establishment of Ryloth Base (903 ABY)
Overview: The creation of the Foundation’s first permanent military stronghold. With an operational headquarters in place, a structured chain of command became a necessity, accelerating the establishment of the Civil Command Council.
Event Name: The Harbinger’s Transition (903 ABY)
Overview: Mother Askani formally stepped down from direct leadership, finalizing the transition to the Civil Command Council. She retained an advisory role to ensure continuity with the movement’s founding ideals.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Prior to the Ascension of the Many, the Foundation in its infancy was largely under the leadership of Mother Askani, who had ignited the resistance and guided it through its early struggles. However, as the movement grew in size, influence, and operational complexity, it became clear that internal restructuring was needed to address its diverse needs; and it was time for a more organized leadership entity to form, while Askani stepped into a role befitting a Jedi. The small but major victories of 902 ABY, particularly the Liberation of the Deep Core and the Silent Charter of the Ivory Order, necessitated a shift toward structured leadership.
The formation of the Civil Command Council provided a balanced approach to leadership. The Council’s collective decision-making process ensured adaptability while preventing any one individual from seizing absolute control. The addition of a dedicated Propaganda Bureau with journalists, illustrators, and other strategists helped with undoing the damage of propaganda, which portrayed the Foundation as a terrorist organization or otherwise. It was also tasked with encouraging worlds to create their own messages of resistance, finding its strength in disseminating messaging of its own, tactics of appealing to people's moral consciousness.
By 903 ABY, the transition was complete. The Foundation, once a fragmented insurgency, had slowly been becoming a realized rebellion with the means to challenge opposition on both military and political fronts. The Ascension of the Many was not merely a change in leadership—it was the fulfillment of the Foundation’s vision for a new, just galactic system.
