The moniker Upland Liberation Front, often shortened to ULF, was conceived by Depa Billaba throughout the Clone Wars period. This designation was used by her to characterize the bands of Korunnai who were conducting raids against the Balawai people on Haruun Kal in the course of the Summertime War. In reality, it wasn't a genuine organization, but rather a title intended to frighten the Balawai; it lacked any established structure for command, a formal organization, or even a hierarchy of ranks. A notable exception was the Akk Guards, one of the very few structured units associated with the ULF.
