The Taiidani Rebellion was a group of Taiidani dissidents who opposed the tyrannic rule of the Taiidan Empire. It was they who allied with the Kushan and fought beside them against the Imperial Guard, at the Battle of Hiigara. They also destroyed the Imperial Gene Bank, thus ending the royal line (because it is needed to re-clone the emperor), and founded the Taiidan Republic. The Rebellion was not by any means a large one. Nor were the rebels highly skilled or even well equipped but somehow, against all odds, they succeeded in freeing the known galaxy from the thrall of the Taiidan Emperor.
