Essential Guide #7: The Pentastar Alignment (Faction In-Depth)

The final faction preview before the release of v.132 TOMORROW (9th Nov) explores the most successful warlord faction in Star Wars history, the Pentastar Alignment!

The Super Star Destroyers ‘Reaper’ (front right) and ‘Vengeance’ (back left) - the backbone of the Alignment’s military power.

What Is The Pentastar Alignment?

Arguably the most successful Imperial splinter group of all, the Alignment was founded by Grand Moff Ardus Kaine in the New Territories. It is a conglomeration of Kaine’s Imperial fleet assets – based around his Executor-class flagship Reaper – and the corporate interests of the region. It is wealthy and easily defended. Content to rule itself, the Alignment did not attack its neighbours and was in turn ignored by a New Republic beset with more aggressive adversaries. Ultimately, following Kaine’s death, the Alignment would be absorbed into the Imperial Remnant, which would maintain the territory Kaine protected as its core territory for more than a century.
