From Barraclough's Flags of the World [bcr81]:
Whilst the British were in occupation of Gan the people of Addu and the southern group of islands formed the United Suvadivian Republic with a flag of its own, in opposition to the Maldives government. The flag was horizontally blue, green and red, with a crescent and star over all in the centre and a star in the upper hoist and lower fly, all in white. The breakaway state was suppressed in late 1963.
I don't know if the dimensions are right in this image.

The positions of the stars are lower hoist - center - upper fly, thus forming an ascending line.
