The UDF expanded dramatically in size during the era of Elwynnese independence and emerged as a political power broker in the tumultuous years prior to the establishment of the Coordinated State was abolished after the Communist Revolution of 1613 and replaced by various ad hoc revolutionary groups and a People's Militia.
