{{Quote|The Galactic Republic was the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time.|Janyor|<ref name="SWP" />}}
The '''Galactic Republic''', also known as the '''Old Republic''', was the [[Politics/Canon|democratic]] union that governed [[The galaxy/Canon|the galaxy]] for a thousand [[year]]s prior to the rise of the [[Galactic Empire/Canon|Galactic Empire]]. Its legislative body was the [[Galactic Senate/Canon|Galactic Senate]].
 
  +
The '''Galactic Republic''', also known as the '''Grand Republic''' or simply as the '''Republic''', was a [[Democracy|democratic]] [[Politics#Republic|federal union]] spread across [[light-year]]s of [[Realspace|space]]. '''Old Republic''' and '''first Galactic Republic''' were terms affixed to the pre-modern Republic that existed until [[1032 BBY]], with the Old Republic also referring to the modern Republic that was supplanted by the [[Galactic Empire]] in [[19 BBY]]. In addition, the term '''High Republic''' denoted the [[High Republic Era|era]] in which the Republic reached the zenith of its power, lasting from around [[500 BBY]] to around [[100 BBY]]. The Republic was founded many [[Millennium|millennia]] before the [[Battle of Yavin]], approximately [[25,000 BBY]], around the same [[time]] as the [[Jedi Order]]. The [[Galactic Senate]] governed the Republic under the [[Galactic Constitution]], and comprised thousands of [[senator]]s representing the Republic's member worlds. The [[Supreme Chancellor]] was the title of the head of the Republic, elected from ranks of the Senate to lead the government on [[Coruscant]]. An [[ecumenopolis]] or [[city]]-covered [[planet]], referred to as [[Imperial City|Galactic City]], Coruscant was the [[capital]] of the Republic and therefore the [[Imperial Senate Building|seat of the Senate]].
  +
  +
The Galactic Republic and it [[star system]]s shared sovereignty, and spanned a multiplicity of worlds from the [[Core Worlds]] to the [[Outer Rim Territories]], uniting a variety of [[Sentience|sentient]] [[species]], [[human]] and [[alien]] alike, under [[Republic crest|one banner]]. As its power grew, the Republic fought many wars against various opponents such as [[Mandalorian]]s, the [[Zygerrian Slave Empire]], the [[Nihil]], and several [[Sith Empire]]s. The [[Jedi]] Order, a [[Religion|religious]] group of [[Force-sensitive]]s dedicated to the [[light side of the Force]], was sworn to the service of the Senate, and as such the [[Jedi Knight]]s were hailed as the guardians of peace and justice within the Republic. [[Standard century|Centuries]] of conflict culminated in the [[fall of the Old Republic]], and the [[Jedi-Sith War|last war]] between the ancient Jedi and [[Sith]] concluded with the restoration and rise of the modern Galactic Republic, ushering in the [[Republic Era]] which was an age of peace that lasted for a thousand [[Standard year|years]]. The Republic's [[Timeline of galactic history|history]] was officially reset, and the ages before this event were merged into a collective whole known as the [[Old Republic-era]].
  +
  +
The Republic entered a period of decline after centuries of expansion and prosperity. Aided by the [[Rule of Two|resurgent]] [[Sith Lord]]s, the [[Separatist Crisis]] divided the galaxy between the Republic [[loyalist]]s and the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems]]. The [[Grand Army of the Republic]] was organized under the leadership of [[Jedi General]]s who led the [[Republic Military]] against the [[Separatist Droid Army]] during the [[Clone Wars]]. However, the conflict had been [[Grand Plan|orchestrated]] to allow Supreme Chancellor [[Darth Sidious|Sheev Palpatine]]&mdash;the alter ego of [[Darth]] Sidious, the [[Dark Lord of the Sith]]&mdash;to control and deceive the Republic in a [[Dictatorship|dictatorial]] manner. With the [[Battle of Utapau|end]] of the war, Sidious initiated the [[Great Jedi Purge]] through [[Order 66]] and transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire by [[Proclamation of the New Order|declaring]] himself [[Galactic Emperor]]. The [[Imperial Senate]] stood as the last remnant of the Old Republic until it was [[Dissolution of the Imperial Senate|disbanded]] by the [[Emperor]] at the height of the [[Imperial Era]]. In the aftermath of the [[Galactic Civil War]], the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic]] was fully [[Declaration of a New Republic|reorganized]] into the [[New Republic]], restoring the Galactic Republic after a generation of [[Fascism|Imperial rule]].

The original [[Galaxy|Galactic]] Republic was formed in approximately [[25,000 BBY]]<ref name="Formation date" /> and rose to power by expanding across [[the galaxy]],<ref name="SWP" /> with several of its founding members being the [[planet]]s [[Alderaan]]<ref name="HC 1">{{HelmetCollectionCite|1|Databank A-Z|Ask Aak&ndash;Stass Allie}}</ref> and [[Chandrila]].<ref name="HC 9">{{HelmetCollectionCite|9|Databank A-Z|C-21&ndash;Chandrila}}</ref> Around [[20,019 BBY]] the [[Thisspiasian]] [[Blood Monarchy]] joined the Galactic Republic in its early founding.<ref name="Blood Court note">''[[Unlimited Power]]'' states that the [[Blood Monarch|Blood Court's]] hereditary line dated 20,000 [[Standard year|years]] prior to the [[Imperial Era]] when it joined the Galactic Republic in its early founding.</ref> Multiple versions of the Republic existed throughout its extensive [[Timeline of galactic history|history]]; [[historian]]s referred to this pre-modern period as the "Old Republic,"<ref name="SWP" /> although the government's official name was the Galactic Republic.<ref name="Chaos Rising">''[[Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising]]''</ref> The Old Republic's [[capital]] was located on an [[ecumenopolis]] known as [[Coruscant]], and would remain there for thousands of years.<ref name="Capital">According to ''[[Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary]]'', [[Coruscant]] had been the [[capital]] of [[Galaxy|galactic]] [[politics]] for [[Millennium|millennia]]. However, it is stated in [[Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones|''Star Wars'': Episode II ''Attack of the Clones'']] that the modern Galactic Republic, whose capital was Coruscant, was only founded about 1,000 [[Standard year|years]] before the [[Clone Wars]]. This implies that Coruscant was also the capital of the old Galactic Republic, which the televised episode "[[The Mandalore Plot]]" referred to as the Old Republic.</ref>
  +
  +
At one time, Coruscant's fellow [[city]] world of [[Troithe]] rivaled it as the Republic's cosmopolitan center, holding a population in the billions. A notable portion of those citizens were part of major [[merchant]] and [[noble]] families. However, Coruscant ultimately outpaced Troithe in industrial growth. As years passed, Troithe fell into decline.<ref name="Shadow Fall">''[[Shadow Fall]]''</ref> At least five millennia before the start of the [[Galactic Civil War]],<ref name="TSWB" /> a [[Jedi splinter group|rogue faction]] of [[Jedi]] broke away from the [[Jedi Order]], believing that practicing the [[dark side of the Force]] would benefit in the furthering of Jedi power. This schism divided the Order on ideological grounds, igniting an event known as the [[Hundred-Year Darkness]], which, in turn, resulted in the formation of the [[Sith]].<ref name="Sith">{{SWE|groups|sith|Sith}}</ref> At one point, they managed to construct a [[Shrine in the Depths|dark shrine]] on Coruscant. The rogue faction was [[Sith war (Old Republic)|ultimately defeated]] and they were [[Battle of Coruscant (Sith war)|exiled]] from the Old Republic into uncharted space.<ref name="Tarkin">[[Tarkin (novel)|''Tarkin'']]</ref>
  +
  +
At some point, the [[Imperial Palace|Jedi Temple]] was constructed over the Sith shrine in order to contain its dark energy.<ref name="Tarkin" /> Once it had established itself on Coruscant, the Jedi Order came to closely associate itself with the Old Republic, serving as guardians of the peace and justice for over a thousand generations.<ref name="Episode IV" /> Little did the Jedi know, the Sith had regrouped on the planet [[Moraband]].<ref name="Sith" />
  +
  +
Thousands of years before the [[Imperial Era]], the [[Corellian royalty]] sponsored exploration and colonization efforts that helped expand the frontiers of the Old Republic.<ref name="Official Guide">''[[Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide]]''</ref> [[Hyperspace]] travel would prove to be the key to the Republic's expansion past the [[Core Worlds]].<ref name="Light of the Jedi">''[[The High Republic: Light of the Jedi]]''</ref>

  +
As the Old Republic spread its influence across the [[star]]s, it came into contact with various other powers, one of them being the [[Zygerrian Slave Empire]]. Due to the fact that, at some point in its past, the Old Republic declared [[slavery]] illegal and expected other civilizations of the galaxy to comply, it took an aggressive stance against the [[Zygerrian]]s. The Zygerrian Empire, which was built upon slavery, refused to comply, forcing both the Old Republic and the Jedi to intervene. After joining together, the Old Republic and Jedi Order sent their [[Army|armies]] [[Jedi–Zygerrian conflict|against]] the empire after the Zygerrians refused. The Old Republic ultimately came out victorious, driving the practice of slave trading into the underworld, dismantling the empire, and confining what was left of its government to [[Zygerria]], the civilization's [[homeworld]].<ref name="Zygerrian Databank">{{Databank|zygerrian|Zygerrian}}</ref> Another one was the rogue [[Predori]] empire.<ref name="ALD">''[[Aftermath: Life Debt]]''</ref>
  +
  +
[[File:GreatScourgeofMalachor-TotA1.png|thumb|right|250px|Destructive wars were fought between the Sith and the Jedi in the age of the Old Republic.]]
  +
Eventually, the Sith would return in full strength, invading the Old Republic. From there, the dark Order would do battle with the Jedi and the Old Republic. This would lead to a series of conflicts between both groups that would go on for thousands of years until the Old Republic's ultimate collapse.<ref name="Sith" /> During one of the wars, the Jedi [[Great Scourge of Malachor|fought]] the [[Sith Empire]] on [[Malachor]], which proved to be one of the most devastating battles in the history of the Order.<ref name="Twilight of the Apprentice">{{Rebels|Twilight of the Apprentice}}</ref>
  +
  +
At some point, the Old Republic came into contact with the [[Mandalorian]] people. The warrior civilization began a series of unprovoked military [[Mandalorian crusades|campaigns]] against the Old Republic. Later on, after all-out [[Mandalorian-Jedi War|war]] erupted, the Jedi stepped in to defend the Republic.<ref name="The Mandalore Plot">{{TCW|The Mandalore Plot}}</ref> In the meantime, Republic and Jedi forces continued to wage war against the expanding Sith Empire.

The [[Middle Era of the Old Republic]] was one period of galactic history.<ref name="Guardians of the Whills">[[Guardians of the Whills (novel)|''Guardians of the Whills'']]</ref> The Galactic Republic also participated in the [[Sith Wars]], a series of conflicts against the Sith Empire and involving the [[Chiss Ascendancy]].

  +
  +
The power of the Sith Empire increased during the [[fall of the Old Republic]]. The Sith soon achieved near-dominance across the galaxy.<ref name="Episode III" /> It was also during this time that an ancestor of [[Pre Vizsla]],<ref name="Rebels Recon #3.14">{{SWYouTube|EfCuHRbbTZk|Rebels Recon #3.14: Inside "Warhead" &#124; Star Wars Rebels|sw_url=video/rebels-recon-inside-warhead}}</ref> leader of the Mandalorian group [[Death Watch]] during the [[Clone Wars]], managed to steal the [[Darksaber]] from the Jedi [[Jedi temple|Temple]].<ref name="The Mandalore Plot" />
  +
  +
At some point the galaxy entered a state known as the Dark Age. During this time, the [[Jedi-Sith War]] broke out. Early on in this conflict, the Old Republic capital world of Coruscant was taken over by the Sith during the [[Battle of Coruscant (Jedi-Sith War)|Battle of Coruscant]]. Later on in the war, the Sith were driven off the planet by the Jedi during the [[Liberation of Coruscant]].<ref name="SWP" />

The Old Republic managed to regain some of its strength after its forces had reclaimed the capital, capable of going on the offensive.<ref name="SWP" /> The Jedi were strong enough to finally end its ancient war against the Mandalorian clans.

As the Old Republic fell apart as a result of its continuous wars, the Jedi Order finally believed itself victorious from its conflict with the Sith, who they believed to have been destroyed completely.

In time, the [[Jedi Order/Canon|Jedi Order]], an organization of protectors who could tap into the power of [[The Force/Canon|the Force]], came to serve the Republic as guardians of peace and justice.

With the galaxy at peace,<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> the [[High Republic Era]], which lasted from around [[500 BBY]] to around [[100 BBY]],<ref name="Timelines">''[[Star Wars: Timelines]]''</ref> saw the Galactic Republic reach the pinnacle of its power, with its influence spreading to even the farthest and less settled regions of the galaxy:<ref name="HR Announcement">{{SWYouTube|xCat5fXRyyU|Star Wars: The High Republic &#124; Announcement Trailer|sw_url=video/announce-trailer-star-wars-the-high-republic}}</ref> the Republic worked to expand into the Outer Rim, specifically a region<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> of the Rim<ref name="Into the Dark">''[[The High Republic: Into the Dark]]''</ref> known as the [[Galactic Frontier]].<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> The Jedi Order also became increasingly active in galactic affairs<ref name="Kylo 2">[[The Rise of Kylo Ren 2|''The Rise of Kylo Ren'' 2]]</ref> and helped the Republic's efforts.

The San Tekka clan's success in locating new routes and ensuing fortune from those discoveries were secretly a result of the Force-sensitive [[Mari San Tekka]], who had the special ability to locate and map out the routes herself.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />

Beyond the mission to open up new hyperlanes<ref name="Pathfinders and Comms Teams">{{SWYouTube|AHqxuNVDEcI|Pathfinders and Comms Teams: Characters of the High Republic|sw_url=video/pathfinders-and-comms-teams-characters-of-the-high-republic}}</ref> by discovering<ref name="Out of the Shadows" /> and charting them,<ref name="Convergence" /> Republic Pathfinders were ordered to explore, help those they found, and, in what was a major part of their mission, establish a functioning communications network across the Outer Rim. While creating the network, Pathfinder teams often worked alongside comms teams in order to get in contact with the Republic at large while out in the Rim. However, the Pathfinders needed to establish the network one node at a time. While the Pathfinders knew the long-term effort would one day result in communications being as fast in the Rim as it was in the Core, [[Grint Rupar]] of [[Outer Rim Expedition Eight-Zero-Seven]] suspected the work would take generations. Nevertheless, Jedi [[Porter Engle]] dubbed it a noble effort that would change lives for the better.

  +
Around [[382 BBY]],<ref name="382 Date">{{PhaseIIDate}}</ref> leadership of the Republic was split between two chancellors, [[Orlen Mollo]] and [[Kyong Greylark]]. Elected and then re-elected together, their joint leadership<ref name="Convergence" /> as Co-Chancellors<ref name="BoJ">''[[The High Republic: The Battle of Jedha]]''</ref> helped in the Republic's outreach; while the more formal Greylark remained on Coruscant<ref name="The Chancellors">{{SWYouTube|w54C6NHFasc|The Chancellors: Characters of the High Republic|sw_url=video/the-chancellors-characters-of-the-high-republic}}</ref> with the Senate, Mollo traveled across the Outer Rim with his [[aide]]s and crew aboard the [[Alif-class Longbeam|''Alif''-class Longbeam]] ''[[Paxion]]'',<ref name="Convergence" /> adopting a hands on approach to governance<ref name="The Chancellors" /> to help with expansion and end problems. Having lived through conflict on Mon Cala, Mollo believed he better understood the Outer Rim but trusted in his Co-Chancellor, whom he believed saw the promise in the Outer Rim but not the finer details he could, all the same due to their shared vision: a truly united galaxy.<ref name="Convergence" />
  +
  +
[[Ambassador ship]]s like the ''Paxion'' were also provided with top-of-the-line [[protocol droid]]s, with the ''Paxion'' being given unit [[AR-K4]].<ref name="Convergence" /> With the Republic aided by the Jedi,<ref name="THR 1">[[The High Republic (2022) 1|''The High Republic'' (2022) 1]]</ref> the Republic and [[Togruta]]s engaged in a [[Republic-Togruta conflict|conflict]] in [[Togruta space]] that left tensions between both parties.<ref name="Rising Storm">''[[The High Republic: The Rising Storm]]''</ref> While Greylark believed the [[Eiram system|star system]] was not ready for their intervention, Mollo traveled to the planets of [[Eiram]] and [[E'ronoh]], which were home to a [[Eiram and E'ronoh War|war]] he hoped to finally put a stop to. At the same time, a team of Jedi&mdash;consisting of Master [[Char-Ryl-Roy]], Master [[Creighton Sun]], Knight [[Gella Nattai]], and Padawan [[Enya Keen]]&mdash;traveled into the system aboard the ''[[Valiant]]'' to provide aid to Eiram, only to collide with the ''Paxion'' amid a [[Skirmish in the Eiram system|skirmish]] that had secretly been orchestrated by the [[Path of the Open Hand]] cult under the control of "[[Elecia Zeveron|the Mother]]." Despite the rocky opening, Mollo and the Jedi began the peace process between both worlds' royal families aboard the ''Paxion'', although progress only truly started to be made when E'ronohi [[prince]]ss [[Xiri A'lbaran]] proposed to [[Eirami]] prince [[Phan-tu Zenn]], thereby setting the stage for a marriage alliance and an unlikely love story.<ref name="Convergence" />
  +
  +
Meanwhile on Coruscant, Greylark feared Mollo was making a play at a solo-chancellery ahead of the campaign season. In reality, Mollo simply wanted to be the one to bring peace to the system because of his own past surrounded by war. Deep down, Greylark did trust in her fellow Chancellor, but sent her controversial son [[Axel Greylark]] to represent [[Office of Chancellor Greylark|her office]] in the peace proceedings and report back to her. Axel's own dealings with the Path of the Open Hand nearly led to the destruction of the peace process after cult leader [[Elecia Zeveron]] demanded he bring her a [[Poison|toxin]] developed on Eiram. Amid the successful [[Wedding of Phan-tu Zenn and Xiri A'lbaran]] officiated by Mollo, Axel's desperation to prevent Zeveron from securing the toxin led to him destroying the [[deflector shield]]s around Eiram's capital of [[Erasmus Capital City|Erasmus]]. After Axel's arrest, the royals agreeing to destroy the toxin, and the formal beginning of the peace process, Mollo reminded his fellow Chancellor to trust him, to which Greylark admitted she did and she had simply wanted to trust her son as well.<ref name="Convergence" />

  +
With it decided the [[Eirami]] and [[E'roni]] representatives would meet on the neutral ground of [[Jedha]] to form an official treaty, Mollo allowed [[Morton San Tekka]] to oversee the discussions as neutral arbiter, deciding it would be better than sending a Republic official. However, the interference of the Path and Graf family member [[Tilson Graf|Tilson]] kicked off the [[Battle of Jedha]],<ref name="Battle of Jedha">''[[The High Republic: The Battle of Jedha]]''</ref> shattering any hope of a lasting peace between Eiram and E'ronoh.<ref name="THR (2022) 6">[[The High Republic (2022) 6|''The High Republic'' (2022) 6]]</ref> Rushing to Jedha after receiving a transmission from Sun about the collapse of the peace process, a group of Jedi and a [[platoon]] of [[Republic peacekeeping troop]]s shut down the battle.<ref name="Battle of Jedha" /> Afterward, Axel was freed from prison by the Path of the Open Hand and brought to the [[Path compound]] on the planet [[Dalna]], where he was recieved by the Mother, who hoped to use Axel to leverage power over the galaxy through his connection with Chancellor Greylark. When Axel sent a message to his mother requesting her to come to Dalna as part of the Mother's plans, Greylark decided that she needed to support her son as a parent and understood that, should she arrive as Chancellor, the galaxy would be in danger. As such, she relinquished her position as Chancellor, leaving Mollo the sole leader of the Republic, much to his shock.<ref name="Cataclysm" />
  +
  +
In the name of investigating the Path, Jedi forces arrived on Dalna<ref name="Cataclysm" /> with the support of the Republic,<ref name="Out of the Shadows">''[[The High Republic: Out of the Shadows]]''</ref> which approved of the action and dispatched guards [[Priv Ittik]] and [[Lu Sweet]] to aid the Jedi. As the incident devolved into a battle, the Jedi would also be aided by anti-Path [[Dalnan]]s, but the Jedi were also faced by Force consuming creatures known as the [[Nameless]]. In the end, Greylark arrived on Dalna to help her son, and the united militaries of Eiram and E'ronoh arrived in the name of defeating the Path after its efforts to divide them were uncovered. Although the reinforcements shut down the fighting, the high causalities of the battle, which ended with the Path even destroying its own caverns,<ref name="Cataclysm" /> resulted in it being remembered as a massacre<ref name="Out of the Shadows">''[[The High Republic: Out of the Shadows]]''</ref> dubbed the [[Night of Sorrow]].<ref name="Mission to Disaster">''[[The High Republic: Mission to Disaster]]''</ref> From a certain point of view, the massacre had only happened because of the Jedi-Republic partnership,<ref name="Out of the Shadows" /> yet the Jedi and Republic's victory in the battle was seen as proof that partnership between both organizations made the galaxy stronger.<ref name="Cataclysm" />
  +
  +
In the aftermath of the battle, Axel agreed to spend the time he owed in prison and revealed what he knew of the Path's internal workings, although the cult's membership had been shattered and fled across the stars.<ref name="Cataclysm" /> One of its major leaders, [[Guide of the Closed Fist]] [[Marda Ro]], escaped the destruction and set about on a new plan for revenge by forming the [[Nihil]],<ref name="Vengeance">''[[The High Republic: Path of Vengeance]]''</ref> with her plan being carried on by subsequent generations of the [[Ro family]].<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> Jedi Masters Crieghton Sun and Yoda also agreed to cover up all information on the Nameless until more details were discovered. Meanwhile, a new treaty was set to be signed by the now-cooperating peoples of Eiram and E'ronoh. Two weeks after the battle, a ceremony on the union of Eiram and E'ronoh and the opening of a new hyperlane was held on their shared moon by Mollo.<ref name="Cataclysm" /> At some point, the San Tekka clan lost Mari San Tekka to the Ro family, who used her to locate hyperspace [[Path]]s for their own revenge scheme.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />

====The Starlight Beacon program====

{{Quote|In the days of the High Republic, the galaxy was not as settled as it is now. Areas like the Outer Rim were dangerous, hard to navigate. So the people of that time built a huge space station at great effort and expense and placed it in the center of the dark zones.

They gave that station an inspiring name, fitting its purpose.|Grek|<ref name="SW 2">[[Star Wars (2020) 2|''Star Wars'' (2020) 2]]</ref>}}

In [[232 BBY]]<ref name="HR Announcement date">{{SWYouTube|xCat5fXRyyU|Star Wars: The High Republic &#124; Announcement Trailer|sw_url=video/announce-trailer-star-wars-the-high-republic}} states that the events of [[Star Wars: The High Republic]] take place 200 [[Standard year|years]] prior to the events of [[Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace|''Star Wars'': Episode I ''The Phantom Menace'']], which ''[[Star Wars: Galactic Atlas]]'' dates to [[32 BBY]].</ref> the Galactic Republic was under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor [[Lina Soh]]<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> and Vice Chancellor [[Larep Reza]], who was a rising star in the Senate and thought to be Soh's apparent successor whenever her term came to its end.<ref name="Rising Storm" /> To showcase support for all species in its borders, the governmental motto became "We are all the Republic." Under Soh,<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> the Republic even began to take steps to curb its habit of indulging in bureaucracy when it needed to be instead taking action; even though the issue remained in a lesser form, the Republic took great steps in advancing beyond it.<ref name="Midnight Horizon">''[[The High Republic: Midnight Horizon]]''</ref> At some point the Republic intervened in the [[Soikan conflict|Soikan civil war]] to finally put a stop to the seemingly-endless conflict.<ref name="Mission to Disaster" />
  +
  +
Concurrent to its [[outreach program]], the Republic was in the midst of an era where all voices were listened to, creating governance from consensus and a society of culture, inclusion, ambition, and Soh's many [[Great Works]]. Among the earliest of these works&mdash;which encompassed everything from infrastructure projects to cultural affairs&mdash; was the ''[[Panacea]]'', a [[Salvation-class Republic medical frigate|''Salvation''-class Republic medical frigate]] that was deployed to help citizens after various crises; therefore, the [[frigate]] became a symbol of Republic's dedication to help its citizens. Other planned Great Works included a new treaty between the [[Mon Calamari]] and [[Quarren]], the [[Republic Fair]], various communication relays, cementing the understanding of how to cultivate [[Bacta]], and various innovations in fields like technology. The greatest of the works was nonetheless [[Starlight Beacon]], which was planned to only be the first in a Beacon network that could truly bring the Republic out of the Core.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />
  +
  +
[[File:RepublicFairPoster.jpg|thumb|left|220px|The Republic's "Great Works" initiative saw the construction of distant outposts like Starlight Beacon.]]
  +
Constructed along with other way stations at considerable expense and effort<ref name="SW 2" /> through many challenges over a long period of time,<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> Starlight Beacon was designed to expand the Republic's domain to the unexplored "dark zones" of the [[Outer Rim Territories]]<ref name="SW 2" /> because Soh pledged to bring that region into the Republic's embrace, hoping the government could actually help the Outer Rim instead of simply flying through it or using it as another place to collect taxes. Beyond using its beacon to guide travelers and its relay to boost local transmissions by a factor of ten, the Beacon was a Republic embassy<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> within the Galactic Frontier,<ref name="Great Jedi Rescue">''[[The High Republic: The Great Jedi Rescue]]''</ref> that could serve many other purposes, being a fortress to discourage piracy, a place for cultural showcases, a state-of-the-art medical center, and, in part, a massive [[Starlight Beacon's Jedi temple|Jedi temple]]. The Jedi provided support to the Republic and its projects. The Jedi established outposts on many Outer Rim worlds, ensuring they could explore and protect those who lived without much of a Republic presence.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />
  +
  +
Although the Outer Rim was hard to navigate and dangerous to live in,<ref name="SW 2" /> many poor settlers traveled to the region, leaving the overpopulated Core Worlds and Colonies in pursuit of new lives. These dreams for better lives were supported by the Republic, which&mdash;although imperfect like all governments&mdash;encouraged the hopes of its citizens, whether those hopes be large or small. Additionally, Soh wanted the people of the Republic to know that they all were part of the government, and the Republic began construction of Starlight Beacon to help with its expansion into the Outer Rim. The beacon was the symbol of everything Soh wanted for the Republic, being able to ensure it could truly expand from the Core to be a galactic government. Others in the government preferred the status quo, wanting to save credits in case of future issues, but Soh, having proved to her people the positive effect of coming together, pushed on with her works to bring the Republic into the Rim. Every Senator knew the success of Starlight would bring forth Soh's hopes that future generations could live in prosperity, while its failure would be massive.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />

  +
[[File:TheGreatDisaster.png|thumb|right|250px|Starships across the galaxy were thrown out of hyperspace in an event known as the Great Hyperspace Disaster.]]
  +
Lacking a formal military due to the galaxy's peace, the Republic was protected by a small peacekeeping fleet known as the [[Republic Defense Coalition]], which was helped by the Jedi Order. Despite the large-scale partnership between them and Republic during the era,<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> there came to be some Jedi who doubted whether it was truly the will of the Force for them to act so closely with the government. Indeed, Jedi Master [[Cohmac Vitus]] believed it was a Republic and Jedi partnership that had led to the massacre on Dalna<ref name="Out of the Shadows" /> from over a [[Standard century|century]] prior.<ref name="Mission to Disaster" /> The partnership between the two parties would only increase when the [[Nihil conflict]] began;<ref name="Out of the Shadows" /> the conflict began when starships were abruptly knocked out of hyperspace in a galaxy-wide event known as the [[Great Hyperspace Disaster]]<ref name="HR Announcement" /> caused by the [[Eye of the Nihil]] [[Marchion Ro]], a member of the Ro family who had destroyed the [[transport]] ''[[Legacy Run]]'' in hyperspace, which made its remains come out of hyperspace in the [[Hetzal system]], causing a sudden crisis as they rained upon the system. Beyond wanting revenge on the Jedi for secretive, family reasons, Ro had made his move to ensure the [[Nihil]] raiders could grow beyond what they were currently. With the Republic expanding into the Outer Rim, he knew they would need to change themselves to survive, launching his plot to ensure he could secure leadership over the raiders.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />
  +
  +
[[File:FourJediTwoContractorsOneBox.png|thumb|left|250px|The Jedi and Republic rushed to the Hetzal system to save it from the Great Disaster.]]
  +
The RDC deployed the [[Emissary-class Republic Cruiser|''Emissary''-class Republic Cruiser]] ''[[Third Horizon]]'' to the Hetzal system in response to the [[Hetzalian government]]'s [[distress signal]]. Aboard the ship, Jedi Master [[Avar Kriss]] was overseeing the effort, learning through her [[Song of the Force|Force network]] that some of the fragments raining upon the system contained living beings. She helped lead the effort to rescue the system's refugees and everyone aboard the fragments until she detected a large container of liquid [[tibanna]] threatening the system's [[R-class]] star. Kriss and the other Jedi used their combined focus to move the container with the Force, while the RDC continued to focus on evacuating the remaining refugees. The Jedi's effort to move the container was broadcast across the Outer Rim and into the inner Republic worlds by [[technician]] [[Keven Tarr]]; while he had at first only sent the signal to Chancellor Soh, he did not want his star system to be destroyed without being acknowledged, so the people of the Republic watched the Jedi effort. At first, the Force users failed, but their second attempt moved the container, saving Hetzal and resulting in cheers across the Republic.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />
  +
  +
Although the Republic was able to learn the destruction of the ''Legacy Run'' had been the cause of the disaster, the government remained unaware of why it was destroyed, making Soh fear another disaster could happen in hyperspace. Additionally, the Republic was faced with the [[Emergences]]; these were when remaining fragments of the ''Legacy Run'', which were all continuing to travel throughout hyperspace, exited in an Outer Rim system, resulting in pieces raining down and destroying whatever they hit. The [[First Emergence]] was at the [[Ab Dalis system]], which was further along the same hyperspace route the ''Run'' had been traveling on, and these Emergences continued to spread. Thus, Soh feared the Republic could have to cease hyperspace travel, which would separate worlds and effectively end the galactic government. Additionally, the Nihil took advantage of the First Emergence, launching a [[Attack on the Garello convoy|raid]] on a [[convoy]] of ships carrying refugees. Nevertheless, because he had caused it, only Ro understood that they were directly responsible for the Great Disaster and its aftershocks.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />
  +
  +
====Conflict with the Nihil====
  +
{{Quote|I mean the Republic, building its Starlight Beacon out in my territory. Invading, taking over, with all its rules and laws and particular brand of freedom that isn't free at all. And you Jedi always just behind, absolutely convinced that every action you take is right and good. My family learned that to its cost, long ago.|Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro|<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />}}
  +
Although it was a larger mobilization effort than anything done for sometime, Soh established an RDC [[blockade]] of various Outer Rim hyperspace routes, intending to protect starships from being destroyed in hyperspace by stopping that travel altogether. The blockade would ultimately be forced to grow as more systems were effected by the Emergences. As predicted by Senator [[Izzet Noor]], who served as the spokesperson in the Senate for the majority of the Outer Rim, the blockade brought strife, as many Rim worlds were not self-sufficient and depended on hyperspace for trade. During a meeting on Coruscant fifteen Emergences into the crisis, Soh had pledged to send [[supply ship]]s into hyperspace if a food crisis grew too dire, although the halting of the trade still had major negative effects for the Rim. During that same meeting, she established that the hyperlanes would remain closed, minus limited transport of essential goods, until they knew more about the crisis before noting she was unwilling to postpone the [[dedication of the Starlight Beacon]]; it was nearly finished, and she wanted to use the event to showcase a triumph over adversity.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />
  +
  +
[[File:AuroraThreeAtKur.png|thumb|right|250px|The Great Disaster precipitated a conflict between the Republic and the Nihil in the Outer Rim Territories.]]
  +
Survivors of the first Emergence and Great Hyperspace Disaster were taken to the yet-to-officially open Starlight for medical treatment. With Starlight due to open in thirty days, Soh gave that as the timeline to solve the Emergence crisis; she did not want to open the way station while the blockade was still ongoing, knowing it would appear as if the Republic could not protect its own people. Due to the blockade, the Nihil's craft became the only ships traveling at lightspeed, making Ro suggest they slow down operations&mdash;stating they could attract the attention of the Jedi or RDC&mdash;while also sowing the seeds for his takeover, approving the [[raid on Elphrona]] to ensure a Jedi would be captured. Meanwhile with the Republic, technician Tarr, having tracked the previous Emergences to form a pattern, began to construct a [[Keven Tarr's navidroid array|system]] of thousands of [[Navidroid|navigation droids]], hoping it could be used to predict where future Emergences would be and find the ''Legacy Run''{{'s}} [[black box]]. Assigned to learn more about the Emergences, Jedi Avar Kriss and [[Elzar Mann]] were also directed to meet with the San Tekka Clan on Naboo by Noor, yet [[Patriarch]]s [[Vellis San Tekka|Vellis]] and [[Marlowe San Tekka]] did not disclose any information about Mari, despite realizing her abilities could have caused the crisis and giving the Republic effort other aid.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />

[[File:Invest_Wisely.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Commerce guilds generated massive profits by investing in the Republic's expansionist policy.]]
  +
For centuries, the Galactic Republic expanded not through force but by quietly exerting a strong magnetic pull towards neighboring systems. The promise of trade with [[Core Worlds|Core World]] markets held many systems in sway, inexorably luring non-member worlds into tighter cooperation with the state body. Despite this, the Republic remained slow to invite new systems into its fold, as the addition of new territories diminished the [[Politics|political]] power of existing senators. New member states invariably aligned themselves with local galactic power blocs, while most senators who gave the invitations represented systems in the Core. As a result, the Galactic Center represented the beating heart of the Republic that habitually drew wealth and power from the hinterlands, with most senators dismaying at the extension of services and protection to outlying worlds. Consequently, many useful star systems were left waiting&mdash;some for centuries&mdash;for the body politic to admit their world as a member of the Congress, even though it came at the cost of the body's overall power.<ref name="A New Dawn">[[A New Dawn (novel)|''A New Dawn'']]</ref>
  +
  +
As time went by the Republic stood firm, becoming increasingly powerful. As a result, the galaxy remained free of any full-scale war for centuries. However, many of the [[bureaucrat]]s and [[senator]]s that ran the government continued to work for their own profit rather than the common good. Greed, corruption and internal strife slowly began destroying the government from within.<ref name="RepublicDB" /> The Core, revitalized from the destructive conflicts of the past and ravenous for new resources to exploit, embarked on an aggressive colonization policy, exploring, mapping, and settling untouched planets within the Outer Systems, striking deals with or simply overrunning the indigenous populations that stood in their path. Adventurous pioneers found themselves granted permission by Coruscant to settle new territories and establish trading colonies to feed the Core with the goods and raw materials for its continual self-enrichment. Many new systems, finding themselves lacking the funds to mine, process, and ship their products to market, were forced to secure high-interest loans from the [[InterGalactic Banking Clan]], whereupon many, unable to repay their debts, found themselves as mere client worlds to the [[Muun]] bankers. As time progressed, the laborious task of astrogating by [[hyperwave beacons]]&mdash;which required numerous reversions to [[realspace]]&mdash;became simplified with the founding of new [[Hyperspace route|hyperlanes]], such as the [[Hydian Way]]. Many systems, eager to benefit from the opportunities offered by charting hyperlanes through their system, sought to influence the Republic Senate to put themselves on the galactic map.<ref name="Tarkin" />

Culturally, [[Coruscanti]] fashion, art, drama and literature saw receptive audiences across the galaxy. Seeking to impress visitors from the Core, many worlds sought to build lavish mansions that imitated the [[Republic architecture|architectural style]] of the Inner Core. Despite this, many Coruscanti looked with disdain on what was in reality nothing more than a gaudy impersonation. To them, these lifeforms on the galaxy's fringes appeared barbaric, with most worlds still lacking weather control or struggling with geological disturbances and food shortages. Additionally, many outlying worlds, lacking the protection of a federal military found themselves continually harassed by numerous [[pirate]]s and criminal organizations, further ingraining the long-held view that those from the galaxy's outlying settlements lacked cultural refinement and basic civility.<ref name="Tarkin" />
  +
  +
A deep-rooted hatred and distrust grew over the centuries between the galaxy's outer fringes and the cosmopolitan Core, with those in the hinterlands gradually coming to believe themselves the victims of social and economic injustices. As a result of the perceived inability of the Judicial Forces in protecting outlying territories, who were often withheld in intervening after many far-flung worlds refused to provide the Core Worlds with profitable deals, the Outer Rim world of [[Eriadu]]&mdash;one of the most politically, culturally and economically developed worlds&mdash;formed the [[Outland Regions Security Force]] for the protection of the [[Seswenna sector]]. Comprising an amalgam of ships, it was funded primarily by off-world loans and supplied with [[laser]] and [[ion cannon]]s acquired from arms merchants who had for centuries been ignoring a Republic ban on the sale of weaponry to member worlds. While the Outland Regions Security Force at first lacked success, it soon came to be renowned for its efficiency at dealing with raiders, especially after [[Wilhuff Tarkin]] was accepted into Outland's anti-piracy task force, in which he was known for outsmarting and outmaneuvering his opponents.<ref name="Tarkin" />

  +
Yet despite Outland's best efforts, the Outer Rim Territories continued to fall victim to increasing corporate interests from the Core, with the monolithic [[Trade Federation]] expanding its reach a year before the [[Invasion of Naboo]] in both the Outer Rim and the Galactic Senate by utilizing loopholes in existing free-trade legislation. Shortly before the Invasion of [[Naboo]], a [[Eriadu Conference|trade summit]] was held on the Outer Rim planet of Eriadu in which Supreme Chancellor [[Finis Valorum]] was turned away by Wilhuff Tarkin, who was hoping to reduce the influence of the Chancellor who some already expected to lose the next election in order to support Senator [[Darth Sidious|Sheev Palpatine]], who had earlier helped Tarkin gain entrance into the Judicial Academy and supported his ascension as [[Governor of Eriadu]].<ref name="Tarkin" />

  +
Despite the best efforts of the well-meaning Chancellor Valorum,<ref name="sweVA">{{SWE|characters|valorum|Supreme Chancellor Valorum}}</ref> the Trade Federation [[blockade]]d Naboo over disputes about [[plasma]] exports. A Judicial force carried Jedi Master [[Qui-Gon Jinn]] and Padawan [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] to the ''[[Saak'ak]]'', a Trade Federation [[Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 cargo freighter|''Lucrehulk''-class LH-3210 cargo freighter]] to discuss a peaceful resolution to the conflict.<ref name="Tarkin" /> [[Darth]] Sidious, the [[Dark Lord of the Sith]], ordered [[Viceroy]] [[Nute Gunray]] to invade Naboo ahead of schedule, and to kill the Chancellor's Jedi [[ambassador]]s. [[Theed]], the capital city of Naboo, was swiftly occupied by the [[Trade Federation Droid Army]]. The Jedi, having survived the Federation's efforts to kill them, [[Escape from the Saak'ak|escaped]] to Naboo where they rescued [[Monarch of Naboo|Queen]] [[Padmé Amidala]] and her entourage.<ref name="Episode I" />
  +
  +
Amidala undertook a journey to Coruscant to plead her [[homeworld]]'s case to the Senate, but the damage to the [[Naboo Royal Starship]]'s [[T-14 hyperdrive generator]] necessitated a detour to the remote world of [[Tatooine]] for repairs. Acting on Gunray's report, Sidious instructed his [[Sith apprentice]], [[Maul|Darth Maul]], to locate and reacquire the [[queen]] as only she had the authority to sign a treaty making the Federation's occupation of Naboo legal. Although Maul tracked them to Tatooine, he failed to prevent the Jedi from escaping with Amidala on her repaired starship. In addition, Jinn took custody of an emancipated slave child, [[Anakin Skywalker]], whom he found to be exceptionally strong with the Force. Believing that he had found the prophesied [[Chosen One]], Jinn brought Skywalker to Coruscant to begin his [[Jedi training]].<ref name="Episode I" />

Senator Palpatine and Chancellor Valorum greeted Amidala upon her arrival to the capital. Though Valorum assured her of the Senate's distress over the situation, Palpatine warned her that neither the Senate nor the Chancellor were likely to intervene unless they made a change in leadership. As Naboo's galactic representative, Palpatine served as Amidala's advisor and confidant. He told her that the Senate was corrupt, and the Chancellor a figurehead to the bureaucrats. When the Trade Federation's delegates forced Valorum to adhere to bureaucratic procedure, Amidala countered by calling for a [[Vote of No Confidence]] in him, following Palpatine's advice despite her initial reluctance to denounce a strong supporter of her world.<ref name="Episode I" />
  +
  +
Believing the Republic no longer adhered to its founding principles, Amidala returned to her planet to liberate the [[Naboo (people)|people of Naboo]] without the Senate's intervention. Before leaving Coruscant, Palpatine informed her of his nomination to succeed Valorum. His competitors were Senator [[Bail Antilles]] of Alderaan and Senator [[Ainlee Teem]] of [[Malastare]], but Palpatine assured Amidala that he would win the [[Supreme Chancellor Election, 32 BBY|election]] through widespread sympathy for Naboo's plight. He vowed to dedicate his term to ending corruption, and Amidala implored him to restore compassion to the Senate.<ref name="Episode I" />

Unable to count on Republic aid, Amidala turned to Naboo's [[Gungan]] population. Despite ill feelings between their segregated societies, the occupation of their shared homeworld allowed Amidala to mend their relationship through diplomacy. The [[Gungan Grand Army]] confronted the Trade Federation's [[battle droid]]s while the [[Naboo Royal Space Fighter Corps]] launched an attack on the ''Saak'ak'' in orbit. The Gungans were forced to surrender after their defenses collapsed, and several [[Naboo Fighter Pilot]]s were killed in the space battle. However, Amidala's team infiltrated the [[Theed Royal Palace]] where they captured Gunray, and with the ''Saak'ak'' destroyed by Skywalker, the droids were deactivated. In the aftermath of the [[Battle of Naboo]], Gunray was taken into Republic custody and the newly-elected Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine arrived in Theed where he and the queen congratulated each other on their recent success. The new Chancellor said that they would work together bringing peace and prosperity to the Republic.<ref name="Episode I" />

[[File:2000_Senators_propaganda.png|thumb|left|200px|The Separatist Crisis reflected widespread disillusionment with the Republic.]]
  +
Following the Naboo Crisis, the Trade Federation monopoly on the Outer Rim was broken, all while Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum's political standing suffered from the crisis along with other scandals. In his wake, Palpatine was appointed to the position of Supreme Chancellor, eventually creating an image of himself as a mild-mannered servant of the common good, despite his true intentions. However, growing tensions between the Core and Outer Rim worlds gradually increased to the point where many believed that a war was imminent.<ref name="Tarkin" /> Foreseeing this conflict years before the Invasion of Naboo, Jedi Master [[Sifo-Dyas]] advocated for the creation of a new Republic army, only to be rejected by the [[Jedi High Council]], who believed his ideas too extreme. Undeterred, Sifo-Dyas contacted the [[Kaminoan]]s, known for their [[Cloning|clone]] hatcheries, and secretly commissioned them to create a clone army, pretending to represent the Galactic Senate. Unbeknownst to Sifo-Dyas, Darth Sidious had earlier contacted [[Prime Minister]] [[Lama Su]], and convinced him to implant a [[behavioral modification biochip]] into the clones during the third stage of their development to turn against the Jedi at a mere command.<ref name="The Lost One">{{TCW|The Lost One}}</ref>

The dashing swordsman and political idealist Jedi Master [[Count]] [[Dooku]], taking an eight-[[Standard year|year]] leave of absence from the Jedi Order and now secretly the apprentice of Darth Sidious and dubbed Darth Tyranus,<ref name="Episode II" /> paid the [[Pyke Syndicate]] to eliminate Sifo-Dyas over the planet of [[Oba Diah]]. With Sifo-Dyas originally heading to the planet in order to negotiate a dispute that could have resulted in a full-scale gang war on Coruscant, Sifo-Dyas was suddenly re-assigned to [[Felucia]] when his shuttle was abruptly shot down over the planet. Bringing his body to Felucia, where it was cremated by tribal inhabitants, Dooku managed to trick the Jedi Council into believing Sifo-Dyas had been killed by the Felucians,<ref name="The Lost One" /> all while erasing the existence of [[Kamino]] from the [[Jedi Archives]].<ref name="Episode II" />
  +
  +
In the decade after the Invasion of Naboo, the whereabouts of Count Dooku were scarcely known, with many believing he merely wished to form an offshoot of the Jedi Order. In reality, Dooku manipulated galactic events to foment political turmoil on a variety of worlds, including [[Kashyyyk]], [[Sullust]], and [[Onderon]]. Seeking to create a southern Separatist sphere of influence by bringing [[Yag'Dhul]] and [[Sluis Van]] to his side, Dooku needed to persuade the now prosperous world of Eriadu to join the Separatists. However, Wilhuff Tarkin was pressured to declare his loyalties especially after Dooku commandeered a [[HoloNet]] station in the [[Raxus system]] and denounced the Galactic Republic, effectively setting the stage for the [[Separatist Crisis]]. Tarkin ultimately sided with the Galactic Republic in his stern belief that an inefficient yet unified galaxy was better than a fractured one.<ref name="Tarkin" />

[[File:JarJarDestroysTheRepublic-AotC.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The Senate granted the chancellor emergency powers at the behest of Representative Jar Jar Binks.]]

Chancellor Palpatine's negotiations with the Separatists were unsuccessful, leading the Galactic Senate to consider the [[Military Creation Act]]. Senator Amidala led the opposition against the bill, believing it would make war between the Republic and the Separatists inevitable. Following an [[Plot to assassinate Senator Amidala|assassination attempt]] on Amidala, the chancellor ordered her to return to Naboo while the Jedi [[Mission to Kamino (Separatist Crisis)|investigated]] the plot against her. [[Junior Representative]] [[Jar Jar Binks]] assumed her responsibilities on Coruscant for the duration of Amidala's absence. The Jedi's subsequent discovery of two secret armies, the clones and the [[battle droid]]s, influenced the Senate's next actions. The [[Loyalist]]s agreed that the Republic needed the clone army, yet they felt that the Senate would fail to pass the Military Creation Act before the Separatists' attacked the Republic with their [[droid]] forces. When [[Vice Chair]] [[Mas Amedda]] suggested that they resolve the crisis by bestowing emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine, Representative Binks proposed as much to the Senate who passed his bill, allowing Palpatine to officially recognize the clone army as the [[Grand Army of the Republic]]. A self-proclaimed proponent of democracy and Republic patriot, Palpatine assured the senators that he intended to return the powers that they had given him after the crisis was over.<ref name="Episode II" />

[[File:Clone_Army_Charge.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Battle of Geonosis was the first battle in the Clone Wars.]]

The Clone Wars began with the [[First Battle of Geonosis]]. Supported by the [[Galactic Republic Navy|Republic Navy]], the Grand Army of the Republic engaged the [[Separatist Droid Army]] in the open field. The Jedi joined the battle as well,<ref name="Episode II" /> acting as ''de facto'' generals for the clone troopers.<ref name="SW:CL">[[Star Wars: Complete Locations (2016)|''Star Wars: Complete Locations'']]</ref> Meanwhile, [[Poggle the Lesser]]'s schematics for the [[DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station|Ultimate Weapon]] were transferred to Dooku who escaped the battle after [[Lightsaber duel|dueling]] Skywalker, Kenobi, and [[Grand Master]] [[Yoda]]. Simultaneously, the various members of the newly-founded [[Confederacy of Independent Systems]] evacuated the planet as Republic clone [[trooper]]s gradually forced the droid army into full retreat. The battle was hailed as a Republic victory, although Yoda took the opposite position as he knew that war would spread across the galaxy. Count Dooku traveled to an [[The Works|industrial sector]] on Coruscant to inform his master that the war had begun as planned, all while the Jedi High Council pondered Dooku's warning that the Dark Lord of the Sith controlled the Senate.<ref name="Episode II" />
  +
  +
[[File:Fisto_and_Skywalker_team_up.png|thumb|left|250px|With the galaxy in a state of war, the Jedi became generals in the Grand Army of the Republic.]]

In the aftermath of the Battle of [[Geonosis]], the deadly three-year conflict that engulfed the galaxy in chaos officially began.<ref name="TSWB" /> Though suspicious of Dooku's claim that the Senate was under the Sith's influence,<ref name="Episode II" /> the Jedi continued to serve the Republic. The [[military rank]] of [[Jedi General]] was created,<ref name="Mace Windu 1">[[Jedi of the Republic – Mace Windu 1|''Jedi of the Republic – Mace Windu'' 1]]</ref> allowing the Jedi to lead the Grand Army of the Republic in an official capacity.<ref name="TSWB" /> The worlds that were caught in the middle of the conflict were forced to choose sides between the Galactic Republic and its clone army or the ever-expanding Confederacy of Independent Systems and its droid army. With the war well under way, numerous diplomatic envoys engaged in several attempts to sway local worlds to join the Galactic Republic, with Jedi Master Yoda seeking to win the support of the [[Toydarian]] [[King]] [[Katuunko]], while [[Sith assassin]] [[Asajj Ventress]] sought to disrupt the meeting, and instead sought to win the support of the king to join the Confederacy.<ref name="Ambush">{{TCW|Ambush}}</ref>
  +
  +
The Republic also sent military aid and support to factions in need, such as [[Cham Syndulla]]'s [[Twi'lek Resistance]] on [[Ryloth]],<ref name="Liberty on Ryloth">{{TCW|Liberty on Ryloth}}</ref> or to the [[Dug]]s of Malastare, whose lucrative fuel reserves were a great boon to the Republic Navy.<ref name="The Zillo Beast">{{TCW|The Zillo Beast}}</ref> Numerous worlds such as [[Mandalore]] also attempted to maintain their neutrality, although they often were forced to seek aid from third parties in times of need.<ref name="Episode II" /><ref name="The Mandalore Plot" />

Throughout the Clone Wars, numerous attempts were made against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's life, including an kidnapping attempt on Naboo masterminded by Count Dooku<ref name="Crisis on Naboo">{{TCW|Crisis on Naboo}}</ref> as well as the hostage taking of members of the Galactic Senate by notorious bounty hunter [[Cad Bane]].<ref name="Hostage Crisis">{{TCW|Hostage Crisis}}</ref> However, political intrigue fueled not only the conflict, but also advances in weaponry and the development of equipment to enhance existing armed forces. Attempts at biological weapons were launched by Separatist scientist [[Nuvo Vindi]], who attempted to re-create the ancient [[Blue Shadow Virus]] capable of killing millions across the galaxy,<ref name="Blue Shadow Virus">{{TCW|Blue Shadow Virus (episode)}}</ref> while the Republic developed the experimental [[electro-proton bomb]], which could send out an electric pulse upon detonation capable of deactivating an entire droid army.<ref name="The Zillo Beast" />

After its death at the hands of a Jedi task force, the beast was secretly cloned by orders from the Supreme Chancellor himself.<ref name="The Zillo Beast Strikes Back">{{TCW|The Zillo Beast Strikes Back}}</ref> In the meantime, the Republic developed a [[IPV-2C Stealth Corvette|stealth ship]] capable of cloaking itself, as well as upgrading its standard [[Phase I clone trooper armor]] to the more sophisticated [[Phase II clone trooper armor]] prior to the [[Battle of Mon Cala]].<ref name="Water War">{{TCW|Water War}}</ref>

  +
On one occasion, the Republic deployed a Jedi-led force of clone troopers to [[Orto Plutonia]] at the behest of one of its members, the [[Pantoran Assembly]]. The government of [[Pantora]] claimed sovereignty over the planet, which resulted in [[One-Day War|open conflict]] between the [[Pantoran]]s and the native [[Talz]]. Although the clones served under the Jedi, they were also beholden to the authority of the Pantoran leader, [[Chairman]] [[Chi Cho]], and the Pantoran senator [[Riyo Chuchi]].<ref name="Trespass" />

The Grand Army of the Republic was led by Jedi Generals throughout the Clone Wars.<ref name="TSWB" /> While many heroic actions were taken by the Jedi and the troopers under their command, inspiring the public with stories of bravery, war weariness only continued to grow as the years went by.<ref name="A New Dawn" /> The Republic citizenry grew to believe that the Jedi had abandoned their role as peacekeepers,<ref name="TJWKTM">{{TCW|The Jedi Who Knew Too Much}}</ref> and staged massive protests outside of the Jedi Temple as a result. Despite their waning influence in the galaxy, the Jedi continued to lead the Republic's forces but sustained many casualties in the process. Their role in the conflict was opposed not only by civilians,<ref name="Sabotage">{{TCW|Sabotage (episode)}}</ref> but also the [[Republic officer]] Wilhuff Tarkin who wanted to revoke the Order's military authority, convinced that the [[Jedi Code]] was a hindrance on the Republic war effort.<ref name="Counterattack">{{TCW|Counterattack}}</ref>
However, Palpatine was in fact the public persona of [[Darth/Canon|Darth]] Sidious,<ref name="sweDS">{{SWE|characters|darthsidious|Darth Sidious}}</ref> former pupil of [[Darth Plagueis/Canon|Plagueis the Wise]]<ref name="explEPIII">{{SW|url=explore/the-movies/episode-iii/|text=Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith}} {{C|Relationships: Darth Sidious}}</ref> and [[Dark Lord of the Sith/Canon|Dark Lord of the Sith]]. The [[Sith/Canon|Sith]] had a long-percolating plan of replacing the Republic with an Empire in their image, and Palpatine sought to execute it.<ref name="sweDS" /> In order to do so, he recruited [[Dooku/Canon|Dooku]], a defrocked [[Jedi Master/Canon|Jedi Master]] who had grown disgusted of the corruption in the Republic. Palpatine made the old Jedi his [[Sith apprentice/Canon|apprentice]] and had him carry out a complex plan: Dooku founded the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Canon|Confederacy of Independent Systems]], an alliance of separatist systems that would end up waging war against the Republic. The resulting conflict, known as the [[Clone Wars/Canon|Clone Wars]], would in fact be fought with Sith Lords on either side, which would guarantee Palpatine's victory regardless the outcome.

After nearly three years of constant warfare, the war reached its climax during the [[Battle of Coruscant]], where both factions engaged in a massive naval and ground battle over the Republic's capital world. The confrontation ultimately saw the Republic dealing a severe blow to the Confederacy with the loss of a portion of its fleet as well as its head of state, Count Dooku, at the hands of Anakin Skywalker. Shortly afterwards, [[General]] [[Grievous]] met his end at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi during the [[Battle of Utapau]]. Yet even as the Republic pressed on with the Outer Rim Sieges, determined to bring an end to the civil war, the Jedi High Council had grown increasingly wary of Palpatine.<ref name="Episode III" />
  +
  +
Over the course of the Clone Wars, the Chancellor's wartime authority reached unprecedented levels at the expense of the Senate, some of whom also grew concerned for the future of the Republic. As such, members of the Council and the Senate began to consider their options for the preservation of democracy.<ref name="Episode III" /> The [[Delegation of 2,000]] emerged and sought to [[Petition of 2,000|petition]] the Chancellor to relinquish his emergency powers,<ref name="Meena Tills">{{Databank|meena-tills|Meena Tills}}</ref> whereas the Council contemplated the possibility of removing him by force and taking over the Senate in order to secure a peaceful transition of power.<ref name="Episode III" />

[[File:Execute_Order_66.png|thumb|left|250px|Palpatine was the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, whose machinations brought about the fall of the Jedi and the Republic.]]

Ultimately, their suspicion of the Chancellor was vindicated when Skywalker uncovered the truth: Sheev Palpatine and Darth Sidious, the Sith mastermind behind the Clone Wars, were one and the same. Realizing they had been deceived by the Chancellor, the Council [[Duel in Palpatine's office|attempted to arrest]] the Sith Lord before his plan could come to fruition, consequently leading to a [[lightsaber duel]] in which Sidious struck down [[Agen Kolar]], [[Saesee Tiin]], and [[Kit Fisto]] before [[Mace Windu]] disarmed him. Given the Chancellor's control over the Senate and the courts, Windu deemed Sidious too dangerous to live. However, Skywalker, despite having performed an execution himself, argued that execution was contrary to the Jedi way, though his personal attachment to Amidala also influenced him at this critical point as he believed that Sidious could save her life.<ref name="Episode III" />
  +
  +
In a moment of desperation, Skywalker disarmed Windu, which allowed Sidious to kill the Jedi Order's champion with a torrent of [[Force lightning]]. Having chosen the path of the dark side, the fallen Jedi Knight became Darth Vader and subsequently led the [[Operation: Knightfall|attack on the Jedi Temple]] while Sidious issued [[Order 66]] to the Grand Army, causing the clone [[trooper]]s being [[Behavioral modification biochip|brainwashed]] into betraying and executing their Jedi leaders across the galaxy.<ref name="Episode III" />
  +
  +
[[File:Declaration2.png|thumb|right|250px|With the Jedi eliminated, Sidious declared himself Emperor of the Galactic Empire.]]
  +
The Senate held an emergency session at the Chancellor's request. Sidious publicly denounced the Jedi Order; he accused them of plotting to assassinate him in order to take control of the Senate, and by extension, the Republic. Meanwhile, Vader undertook a [[mission to Mustafar]] where he personally executed the [[Executive Separatist Council|Separatist Council]], at the behest of Sidious who betrayed and no longer needed them. With the [[Great Jedi Purge]] in effect, and the Separatists neutralized, Sidious [[Proclamation of the New Order|proclaimed]] himself [[Galactic Emperor]]. The Galactic Republic officially became the [[Galactic Empire]],<ref name="Episode III" /> and democracy was supplanted by the [[Fascism|fascist]] [[New Order]].<ref name="SWP" /> While many senators cheered and applauded the birth of the Empire, Amidala and Organa quietly lamented the Republic's end.<ref name="Episode III" />

In order to destroy the memory of the previous government, any visible reminder of the Old Republic was quickly removed, with many organizational changes altering the names of various locales and institutions, while architecture was molded to [[Brutalist (architecture)|a more severe and dark aesthetic]]. With the renowned Galactic Senate being renamed the [[Imperial Senate]] and the [[Imperial Plaza|Senate Plaza]] renamed Imperial Plaza and a giant statue of the Emperor erected in it, one could almost forget the Republic even existed.<ref name="Tarkin" />
  +
  +
However, the memory of the Republic as a force of freedom and justice could never be fully destroyed as long as those who still believed in it lived, thus spurring numerous resistance movements throughout the Empire's reign such as the [[Free Ryloth Movement]]<ref name="Lords of the Sith">''[[Lords of the Sith]]''</ref> and [[Berch Teller's rebel cell]].<ref name="Tarkin" /> These displays of resistance eventually coalesced into the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic]] prior to the [[Battle of Yavin]], where the Death Star was destroyed.<ref name="Episode IV" /> Subsequent battles included the [[Battle of Endor]] which saw the destruction of the [[DS-2 Death Star II Mobile Battle Station|second Death Star]] and the deaths of Sidious and Vader, the latter redeeming himself as Anakin Skywalker.<ref name="Episode VI">{{Film|VI}}</ref> In the aftermath of their victory at [[Endor]], the Alliance [[Declaration of a New Republic|declared]] itself the [[New Republic]] as an ode to the Old Republic.<ref name="Aftermath" />
  +
  +
[[File:A_New_Dawn-SWP.jpg|thumb|right|200px|After the Emperor's death, the Rebel Alliance was reformed into the New Republic.]]

However, the New Republic disavowed some aspects of the Old Republic, particularly the legacy of its final years under the chancellery of Sheev Palpatine.<ref name="Bloodline">[[Bloodline (novel)|''Bloodline'']]</ref> The word "Supreme" was removed from the title of [[Chancellor (New Republic)|Chancellor]]; Coruscant was stripped of its traditional role as the galactic capital, allowing other worlds to host the [[New Republic Senate|restored Galactic Senate]] on a rotating cycle; and the [[Military Disarmament Act]] reduced the [[New Republic Defense Force]] in the [[Galactic Concordance|aftermath]] of the [[Galactic Civil War]]. Such efforts succeeded in convincing former Separatist worlds to support the New Republic,<ref name="TFA VD">''[[Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary]]''</ref> but also led to political partisanship in the Senate where [[Populists]] favored the sovereignty of member worlds while [[Centrists]] lobbied to increase the central government's power and military spending.<ref name="Bloodline" /> Ultimately, the Centrist worlds seceded from the New Republic and joined the [[First Order]],<ref name="TROS VD">''[[Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary]]''</ref> a successor to the Galactic Empire,<ref name="Battlefront II">''[[Star Wars Battlefront II]]''</ref> resulting in the [[Cold War]] between the two galactic powers.<ref name="TROS VD" />

  +
The story of Old Republic [[Regent]] [[Hylemane Lightbringer]] and [[Gender|his]] supposed [[immortality]] would be remembered in history texts along with Old Republic music such as the [[Sestina of Imperator Vex]], which would continue to be sung even in the [[Standard month|months]] following the Battle of Endor.<ref name="Aftermath" />

====Posterity's judgment====
  +
{{Quote|Before the outbreak of war, the twilight of the Republic was an era of distractions, with citizens from all walks of life following escapist pursuits. Historians rebuke the people of this last age for being taken in by such circuses when their attentions should have been focused on the malfeasances and corruption in the Senate and other governing institutions.|Janyor|<ref name="SWP" />}}
  +
[[File:Coruscant_wealthy.png|thumb|left|250px|Historians rebuked the generation that witnessed the Republic's downfall, holding the people of this last era of peace responsible for the death of liberty.]]
  +
Hailed as one of the greatest political achievements in the galaxy's history,<ref name="TSWB" /> the Galactic Republic was described by the historian [[Janyor]] as "the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time." Although other versions existed in the ancient past, collectively known as the "Old Republic," posterity credited the modern Republic for delivering the galaxy from an age of darkness and, with the help of the Jedi Order, forging an era of peace that lasted for a thousand years until the advent of the Clone Wars. Historians romanticized the Age of the Republic, calling it the "last era of peace"&mdash;notwithstanding isolated conflicts, which were notably few and swiftly resolved by Jedi mediators&mdash;before the rise of vast warships and planet-killing superweapons.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
The Republic in its final years, however, was remembered with less fondness. Historians regarded the people of that time as a generation of apathy and indolence, in which galactic senators cared more about power and luxury than representing their constituents or addressing the perceived inefficiencies of the government. The civilian population was also seen as a contributing factor to the Republic's demise, with Core Worlders being more invested in podracing events in the distant Outer Rim Territories than the politics that caused dissatisfaction to fester and grow into the Separatist Crisis. Ultimately, historians rebuked this generation and held it responsible for the collapse of the "comfortable civilization" that defined the modern Galactic Republic.<ref name="SWP" />

  +
[[File:Parade.png|thumb|right|250px|The Supreme Chancellor was the elected leader of the Galactic Senate.]]
  +
The institutions of the Galactic Republic consisted of the Office of the Chancellor, the Galactic Senate, and the Judicial Department. Executive power was vested in the Supreme Chancellor, although this office was largely powerless and hampered by bureaucratic procedure, particularly during the chancellery of Finis Valorum. Nevertheless, the Chancellor had the authority to issue executive orders summoning the Senate to an emergency session<ref name="Episode I" /> or sending senators away from Coruscant for security reasons.<ref name="Episode II" />
  +
  +
The chancellery of Sheev Palpatine shifted the balance of power in favor of the Chancellor's office, a consequence of the wartime powers that the Senate gave its leader on the eve of the Clone Wars.<ref name="Episode II" /> As the conflict spread across the galaxy, Palpatine's chancellery gradually morphed into a dictatorship<ref name="Darth Sidious DB" /> with control over both the Senate and the [[Republic courts]]. Near the war's end, Palpatine appointed Anakin Skywalker as his own personal representative on the Jedi High Council, which the Jedi considered an overreaching exercise of the Chancellor's authority. By then, Palpatine had managed to remain in power by exceeding the term limits of his office, an action that the Senate supported.<ref name="Episode III" />
  +
  +
[[File:Reduced_Military_Spending_Bill.png|thumb|left|250px|The Galactic Senate was the governing body of the Republic.]]
  +
Prior to Palpatine's rise to power, the Galactic Senate was the legislative body of the Republic. Many member worlds across the galaxy were represented in the Senate which was headquartered on Coruscant, capital of the Republic.<ref name="Senate DB">{{Databank|galactic-senate|Galactic Senate}}</ref> At it height, the Senate's power eclipsed that of the Supreme Chancellor<ref name="Episode I" /> but it had also become stagnant under unbridled corruption and layers of bureaucracy.<ref name="Senate DB" /> As more politicians grew enamored with the comforts of their office, prioritizing power and wealth over their constituents' needs, average citizens questioned if the Republic and its high taxes were worth the membership.<ref name="SWP" /> The Jedi had also grown distrustful towards senators and regarded their motives with skepticism,<ref name="Episode II" /> notwithstanding the Order's allegiance to the Senate as a whole.<ref name="Episode III" />
  +
  +
[[File:Onacondafarrdead.png|thumb|right|250px|Conflicting ideologies led to factionalism, intrigue and murder in the Senate.]]
  +
With the Senate hamstrung by political infighting and a strict adherence to protocol, it failed to bring swift resolutions to either the Invasion of Naboo<ref name="Episode I" /> or the Separatist Crisis.<ref name="Episode II" /> In lieu of a diplomatic solution, the Senate rallied under Chancellor Palpatine's leadership. However, the decision to grant him emergency powers eroded their authority, allowing Palpatine to amass even more power at the expense of the Senate. At the time of the Clone Wars, the Senate was divided between supporters of the war effort and pacifists who sought a peaceful end to the fighting.<ref name="Senate DB" />
  +
  +
The Judicial Department was an umbrella department over the Republic courts, including the [[Supreme Court]], the highest court of law in the Republic.<ref name="Rise of the Separatists" /> Its authority also extended over the Judicial Forces<ref name="Tarkin" /> and the [[Republic Office of Criminal Investigations]].<ref name="Rise of the Separatists" /> Like its legislative counterpart, however, the courts were mired by a stagnant bureaucracy and was known to be even more indecisive than the Senate.<ref name="Episode I" /> Despite the arrest of Nute Gunray, multiple trials in the Supreme Court failed to remove him as leader of the Trade Federation to the dismay of the Naboo government.<ref name="Episode II" />
  +
  +
[[File:Unite.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Clone troopers were used as tools of political propaganda during the Clone Wars.]]
  +
[[Propaganda]] in the Galactic Republic had long served to sway public opinion in favor of Republic policies, from expanding into the Outer Rim Territories, to waging a pan-galactic war against the Separatists. One such propaganda tool was the [[Commission for the Protection of the Republic]] (COMPOR). Formed in the early days of the Clone Wars, COMPOR existed as a pro-Republic populist movement. As such, the organization's mission was twofold: to promote patriotism in the Republic, and to brand the Separatists as traitors. This goal was achieved through the [[Painting|artwork]] of [[Donclode Onstruss]], [[Hamma Elad]], and other [[artist]]s associated with COMPOR.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
Throughout the conflict, COMPOR propagandists sought to sustain the war effort by keeping public opinion on the side of the Republic's military forces and their commander-in-chief, respectively the clone army and Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. Following an [[Jedi Unite for Peace|early attempt]] to utilize the Jedi Order as a propaganda tool, COMPOR focused increasingly on the Grand Army of the Republic, portraying clone troopers as a symbol of [[Unite|unity]] that the citizenry was encouraged to [[Support the Boys in White|support]]. In regard to the Separatists, COMPOR depicted their leaders as icons of "[[Evil Has Its Eyes On You|evil]]," specifically General Grievous and Count Dooku. Using loyalty to the Republic and fear of the Separatists, COMPOR lobbied the Galactic Senate to give more emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine whom they supported as a [[Do Not Bind His Hands|wartime leader]].<ref name="SWP" />

[[File:Palpatine_on_balcony.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The countless worlds of the Galactic Republic were allowed to retain their individual sovereignty, to which they shared with the Galactic Republic.]]
  +
All political entities in the Galactic Republic were fully sovereign, and thereby shared in the privileges and obligations that came with being part of the Republic. Corporations and guilds were also allowed to join the Republic, who all sent democratically elected representatives on behalf of their governments or trade groups from across the galaxy, to the Galactic Senate.<ref name="Episode I" />

During the Clone Wars, the Republic tolerated the political stance of neutral governments, among which were the [[New Mandalorians]].<ref name="The Mandalore Plot">{{TCW|The Mandalore Plot}}</ref> Their leader, [[Duke|Duchess]] [[Satine Kryze]], was a staunch pacifist who sought to keep her homeworld and it allies out of the conflict through her capacity as head of the [[Council of Neutral Systems]].<ref name="Voyage of Temptation">{{TCW|Voyage of Temptation}}</ref> The Republic and Mandalore coexisted through treaties over a century old by the time of the Clone Wars,<ref name="Old Friends" /> though by then the Senate sanctioned a [[Mandalore Defense Resolution|plan to invade]] the planet Mandalore, having grown to believe that Kryze's pacifist government could not protect the Mandalorian people from the [[Death Watch]] movement. However, the invasion was called off due to evidence that the Senate's pretext for war&mdash;the testimony of [[Deputy Minister]] [[Jerec]]&mdash;had been falsified.<ref name="DoM">{{TCW|Duchess of Mandalore}}</ref>
  +
  +
[[File:Peace_conference.png|thumb|right|250px|The neutral world of Mandalore hosted a failed peace conference between the Republic and the Separatists.]]

Mandalore was the site of attempted peace talks between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, with Duchess Satine overseeing the [[Confederate–Republic peace conference|conference]]. Both governments dispatched their delegates to the neutral world in addition to Republic [[Senate Commando]]s and Separatist [[BX-series droid commando]]s. Negotiations broke down, however, allowing the war to continue without interruption.<ref name="A Friend in Need" />
  +
  +
During the war, although Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine claimed that the Republic was willing to assist a neutral star system during their times of crisis,<ref name="The Disappeared, Part I">{{TCW|The Disappeared, Part I}}</ref> the Senate<ref name="Kenobi's Shadow">{{StoryCite|story=Kenobi's Shadow|book=The Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark}}</ref> and the Republic as a whole<ref name="Old Friends" /> almost always declined aid,<ref name="Kenobi's Shadow" /> particularly military aid, to neutral governments as a matter of policy.<ref name="Old Friends" /> If a government broke its neutrality by siding with the Separatist Alliance, it risked becoming an enemy of the Republic. When the InterGalactic Banking Clan began favoring the Separatists at the Republic's expense, the Republic retaliated by deploying an invasion force to [[Battle of Scipio|occupy]] the planet [[Scipio]].<ref name="Crisis at the Heart" />

[[File:Thrawn_Alliances_Anakin_art.png|thumb|left|250px|Mitth'raw'nuruodo did not see the Galactic Republic as a suitable ally for the Chiss Ascendancy, despite working with Anakin Skywalker.]]
  +
Despite Mandalore's neutrality, Ahsoka Tano and [[Bo-Katan Kryze]] requested the Grand Army's support to depose the [[Shadow Collective]] that [[Takeover of Mandalore|supplanted]] Satine Kryze's regime. Although the Jedi were concerned about getting drawn into the [[Mandalorian civil war (Clone Wars)|Mandalorian civil war]] while in the midst of the ongoing Clone Wars, especially when the world in question was still officially neutral, they permitted a [[332nd Division|division]] of the [[501st Legion]] to support the [[Mandalore resistance]] in the [[Siege of Mandalore]].<ref name="Old Friends" />
  +
  +
During the Clone Wars, the Republic made indirect contact with the [[Chiss Ascendancy]] through Jedi General Anakin Skywalker's encounter with [[Senior Captain]] [[Mitth'raw'nuruodo]] "Thrawn," an officer of the [[Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet]]. Thrawn had been tasked with exploring the Outer Rim by the time the Ascendancy, having discovered a mysterious threat in the Unknown Regions, sought to assess the Galactic Republic as a potential ally. Thrawn gathered intelligence on the Clone Wars through his interaction with Skywalker, who, in turn, recruited the [[Chiss]] officer's help with rescuing Senator Padmé Amidala. Skywalker was impressed by Thrawn during their time working together, which he later reported to Chancellor Palpatine. Thrawn was unimpressed by the Republic, however, believing democracy to be an inefficient form of government.<ref name="Thrawn">[[Thrawn (novel)|''Thrawn'']]</ref>

===Defense===

====Republic Defense Coalition====
  +
{{Main|Republic Defense Coalition}}
  +
[[File:HetzalSystem.png|thumb|right|200px|The Republic Defense Coalition was an interplanetary alliance between the Republic's member worlds.]]
  +
The Republic Defense Coalition, also known as the RDC, was organized as a small peacekeeping fleet that defended the Galactic Republic's interests during the High Republic Era. The RDC was bound together as an organization through defense treaties signed by the Republic's member worlds, including Alderaan and Chandrila. The treaties that created the RDC gave it the ability to allocate starships and personnel from the signatory worlds in times of emergency. These resources would remain under the RDC's control until the threat was neutralized, after which they would be returned to their homeworlds.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> The Republic also maintained formations of Republic peacekeeping troops, who were deployed to quell conflicts in Republic territory.<ref name="Battle of Jedha" />
  +
  +
The fleet consisted of several starship types, such as ''Emissary''-class cruisers, [[Pacifier-class sector patrol cruiser|''Pacifier''-class sector patrol cruisers]], [[Longbeam cruiser]]s, and [[Z-28 Skywing]] starfighters. Despite the existence of the RDC, the Republic was at the height of an era of peace that had lasted for centuries, with neither the Hutts nor the Mandalorians posing a threat. As a result, the ''Emissary''-class resembled a work of art, its crenellations and spires designed to be symbolic of the Republic in a state of tranquility. The RDC operated alongside the Jedi Order as well, allowing the peacekeepers to store their personalized starfighters, the [[Jedi Vector]]s, in the hangars of its ''Emissary''-class cruisers.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> The Republic rescue fleet was also maintained at the time of the High Republic.<ref name="HRA 2" />

[[File:Williams_and_Madakor.png|thumb|left|250px|Judicials were non-Jedi peace officers of the Republic.]]
  +
The Judicial Forces were the armed peacekeeping forces of the Galactic Republic [[Judicial Department]].<ref name="Tarkin" /> While the Jedi helped to maintain order and peace under the authority of the Galactic Senate, they were not considered a standing military.<ref name="O&A1" /> As officers of the government, Judicials had access to [[Consular-class space cruiser|''Consular''-class space cruisers]].<ref name="Episode I" /> The distinctive design and color of Republic cruisers identified them as diplomatic vessels,<ref name="Republic Cruiser SWE">{{SWE|technology|republicdiplomaticcruiser|Republic Cruiser}}</ref> often used by delegates of the Galactic Senate, agents of the Supreme Chancellor, or members of the Jedi Order.<ref name="Republic Cruiser DB">{{Databank|republic-cruiser|Republic Cruiser}}</ref>

The training that they experienced molded the clone troopers into a highly efficient army,<ref name="ClonesDB">{{Databank|clone-troopers|Clone Troopers}}</ref> and because they retained the ability to think creatively despite their stunted independence,<ref name="Episode II" /> they were considered far superior to their droid counterparts. In their first battle against the Separatist Droid Army, the Grand Army displayed a level of military strength unseen in the history of the galaxy.<ref name="ClonesDB" />
  +
  +
[[File:Jedi_Generals_Geonosis.png|thumb|left|250px|Clone troopers served under the command of Jedi Generals.]]
  +
Clones were, by and large, proud to serve as soldiers of the Galactic Republic. Although a minority committed treasonous acts such as desertion or espionage for the Separatists, most were steadfast in their allegiance and many troopers sacrificed themselves for the Republic. They were loyal to the Supreme Chancellor, but also the Jedi who served as generals in the Grand Army of the Republic.<ref name="ClonesDB" /> A strong sense of trust developed between Jedi generals and clone commanders over the long campaigns of the Clone Wars.<ref name="TSWB" />
  +
  +
There were several types of clone soldiers that stood as a breed apart from their rank-and-file brethren. The [[Advanced Recon Commando]]s, for example, were noted for their elite status and capacity for independent thinking. Another specialized class was the [[clone commando]]&mdash;elite operatives trained for missions too complex for other soldiers.<ref name="ArmorDB" />

[[File:DuelonCoruscant.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The Jedi Order served the Galactic Republic as guardians of peace and justice.]]
  +
The Galactic Republic placed its faith in the Jedi Order,<ref name="Age of Republic" /> relying on Jedi Knights to safeguard peace and justice in the realm.<ref name="JediDB" /> It was with the Order's aid that the Galactic Senate was able to govern the galaxy for a thousand years.<ref name="Battlefront II">''[[Star Wars Battlefront II]]''</ref> The Order's allegiance was to the Senate,<ref name="Episode III" /> though by the final years of the Republic, the Jedi regarded politics with skepticism, believing politicians were untrustworthy. Nonetheless, the Order maintained a close relationship with the Republic to uphold their mandate as keepers of the peace.<ref name="Episode II" />
  +
  +
The Order could identify Force-sensitives shortly after their birth, as long as they were born within the Republic.<ref name="Episode I" /> Offering a Force-sensitive child to the Order was considered a great honor by the majority of the Republic's population, as well as a personal sacrifice.<ref name="TSWB" /> The Order became the true family of every child brought into its ranks,<ref name="TheGathering">{{TCW|The Gathering (episode)}}</ref> and Jedi doctrine did not permit them to know their birth families. Therefore, familial attachment was surrendered in service to the Order.<ref name="TSWB" />
  +
  +
[[File:Burning_of_the_Temple.png|thumb|right|250px|With the fall of the Jedi Order, the Galactic Republic was transformed into the Galactic Empire.]]
  +
While the Order numbered ten-thousand strong at the height of the Clone Wars,<ref name="Siege">''[[Star Wars Rebels: The Siege of Lothal]]''</ref> their ranks were insufficient for the defense of the Republic.

The [[Credit|Republic credit]] was the [[currency]] of the Galactic Republic. Beyond Republic space, however, credits had no value on frontier worlds like Tatooine.<ref name="Episode I" />
  +
  +
The Republic possessed immense economic power,<ref name="CoruscantDB">{{Databank|coruscant|Coruscant}}</ref> having maintained peace&mdash;with the aid of the Jedi Knights&mdash;throughout the known galaxy for almost a millennium. Peace, in turn, promoted commerce. Under the Republic's protection, Naboo and other culturally rich worlds were able to profit from lucrative tourism.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
[[File:CardDodSaam_HoBS.png|thumb|left|250px|Corporations possessed considerable influence in galactic politics during the era of the Republic.]]
  +
The business sector experienced an exponential growth in wealth and influence through widespread commercialism, with massive corporations funneling substantial amounts of capital into advertising their essential services to the wider galaxy. This unbridled "brand-building" initiative generated steady profits for vast enterprises like the Trade Federation.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
The Republic's expansion into the Outer Rim Territories proved lucrative to both the galactic government and the private sector. [[Eleven Star Marketing]], a subsidiary of the Trade Federation, worked closely with the [[Republic Ministry of Economic Development]] to [[Settle the Outer Rim|propagandize]] the exploration and colonization of the Outer Rim, convincing the lower class citizens of the Inner Rim to see the galactic frontier as an opportunity for profit. This arrangement would entangle Republic politicians with corporate lobbyists, both of which profited from the flow of settlers who had to pay tariffs and registration fees in order to reach the Outer Rim through one of the Federation's hyperspace routes.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
[[File:Buy_Republic_War_Bonds.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Republic filled its war chest by encouraging its citizens to buy war bonds.]]
  +
The Separatist Crisis had a significant impact on the Republic economy, with major worlds, like Serenno, Raxus, and Onderon seceding from the pan-galactic union. As a result, the Republic lost access to the resources and tax revenue of the Separatist worlds. Diminished taxation revenue only compounded the Republic's debt, throwing the Senate into a crisis that ultimately led to open war between the Republic and the Separatist Alliance.<ref name="SWP" />
  +

The Clone Wars disrupted the galactic economy as the Senate exhausted its options to fund the Grand Army of the Republic while staving off bankruptcy.<ref name="HoBS" /> The government urged its people to buy [[war bond]]s, using [[Buy Republic War Bonds|propaganda]] to convince the citizenry that it was their patriotic duty to give financial support to the war effort. In addition, the Republic sought to keep its war chest filled by imposing higher taxes on civilian skylanes, however unprecedented it was on cosmopolitan worlds like Coruscant.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
The Senate also weighed the need for additional clone troopers against the corresponding cost of growing supplemental units to replenish the Grand Army's ranks.<ref name="HoBS" /> Funding the military had all but bankrupted the Republic treasury, which, in turn, shut down some of the basic services that the Republic had always provided for civilians who lived in the lower levels of Coruscant.<ref name="Pursuit of Peace">{{TCW|Pursuit of Peace}}</ref>

[[File:Military_enhancement_bill.png|thumb|left|250px|The Senate voted in favor of deregulating the banks in order to continue financing the Republic war effort.]]
  +
The Republic imposed regulations on the banking industry prior to the Clone Wars, but the war's increasing cost led the Senate to consider deregulating the banks in order to access new lines of credit. After much debate, the Senate passed the [[Republic financial reform bill]]. The banks were deregulated, and the Republic submitted applications for further loans to support the production of more clone units.<ref name="HoBS" />
  +
  +
Following the Republic [[Battle of Scipio|invasion of Scipio]], the [[InterGalactic Banking Clan]] surrendered its financial assets to the office of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. As a result, the Republic gained direct control over one of the galaxy's most influential commerce guilds.<ref name="IGBC-DB">{{Databank|intergalactic-banking-clan|InterGalactic Banking Clan}}</ref>

Though the Clone Wars had exacted a heavy toll on the Republic treasury,<ref name="SWP" /> the Republic remained a powerful economic force in the galaxy.<ref name="CoruscantDB" /> The Separatist Alliance, while supported by the resources of corporate barons,<ref name="SWP" /> was eventually overwhelmed by the economic and military power of the Republic.<ref name="CoruscantDB" />

  +
The Galactic Republic invested in aesthetics and technological advancements for the starship industry. During the Republic's reign, starships were designed to be aesthetically pleasing in order to meet the customers' demand for "style and elegance" in their vessels. Craftsmanship, however, gave way to practicality as the Republic transitioned into the Galactic Empire, leading to the decline of sleek lines in favor of harsh uniformity, mass production, and sheer size.<ref name="TSWB" />

[[File:Youngcloneslearning.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Millions of identical clones were bred to fight as soldiers of the Republic.]]

Cloning was a science in which an organism was "genetically duplicated into one or more identical copies." While neither the Senate nor the Jedi had any knowledge of the clone army's development prior to the Clone Wars, the Republic became heavily invested in the field of genetics throughout its conflict with the Separatists. The Kaminoans used their skills to transform the science of cloning into big business, resulting in the mass production of clone troopers who numbered in the millions. Their expertise all but perfected the art of genetic duplication. However, cloning [[human]]s was still a flawed science that occasionally produced aberrations. Nevertheless, the Kaminoans' cloning methods made it possible to alter clones at the genetic level, making them more docile and age twice as fast as natural-born humans.<ref name="TSWB" /> They were also just as capable of engineering a clone for the purpose of pure genetic replication, giving it neither growth acceleration nor behavioral modification for greater docility.<ref name="Episode II" />
  +
  +
[[File:RotS_Acclamators_depart.png|thumb|left|200px|The Clone Wars drove the Republic's technological advancement.]]
  +
The Clone Wars gave the Republic an incentive to spearhead technological innovation in spacecraft and terrestrial transportation for military purposes. The result was a legacy with far-reaching effects in the industry of science and technology. The Star Destroyer, the most visible representative of modern military [[capital ship]]s, originated with the development of the Republic Navy's ''Venator''-class Star Destroyer. The [[X-wing starfighter]] evolved from the [[Z-95 Headhunter]]; the [[BTL Y-wing starfighter]] was developed during the Clone Wars, and was still considered relevant long after the Republic's time. The Republic developed all terrain [[walker]]s, including the six-[[Limb|legged]] [[All Terrain Tactical Enforcer]], as a response to the Separatist [[Armored Assault Tank Mk I|Armored Assault Tank]] and other droid battle tanks. This in turn influenced the developmental design of far larger vehicles, such as the Imperial [[All Terrain Armored Transport]] and the First Order [[All Terrain MegaCaliber Six]], than what the Republic fielded in the Clone Wars.<ref name="TSWB" />

  +
[[File:Electro-proton_explosion.png|thumb|right|250px|The electro-proton bomb was capable of destroying an army of droids in a single attack.]]

The Republic employed brilliant [[scientist]]s, such as [[Doctor]] [[Sionver Boll]]<ref name="Sionver Boll DB">{{Databank|sionver-boll|Sionver Boll}}</ref> and Doctor [[Nala Se]],<ref name="Nala Se DB">{{Databank|nala-se|Nala Se}}</ref> who contributed their expertise to the war effort against the Separatists.<ref name="The Zillo Beast" /><ref name="Conspiracy">{{TCW|Conspiracy}}</ref> Boll developed the electro-proton bomb,<ref name="Sionver Boll DB" /> an experimental explosive device capable of generating a massive burst of [[electromagnetic pulse]] energy to disable battle droids and any other form of technology.<ref name="The Zillo Beast" /> Nala Se was the foremost scientist in the field of cloning; she supervised the development of the Republic's clone army,<ref name="Nala Se DB" /> although Boll was also familiar with cloning as Chancellor Palpatine ordered her to clone a dead Zillo Beast.<ref name="The Zillo Beast Strikes Back">{{TCW|The Zillo Beast Strikes Back}}</ref>

The [[Republic Special Weapons Group]] was formed to oversee the development of military technology more advanced than conventional weapons of warfare.<ref name="Rogue One: Rebel Dossier">''[[Star Wars: Rogue One: Rebel Dossier]]''</ref> The group was composed of technologists like Wilhuff Tarkin and [[Orson Callan Krennic]];<ref name="Catalyst">''[[Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel]]''</ref> using the [[Geonosian]]s' [[Death Star plans|schematics]] for a [[moon]]-sized [[battle station]], they began implementing plans to construct the [[Death Star|ultimate weapon]]. Their work continued after the Republic fell, and after years of delay the [[DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station]] was made operational by the Empire. Both its size and power inspired the creation of more advanced weapons with the [[Superlaser|capacity to destroy planets]], from the Imperial [[DS-2 Death Star II Mobile Battle Station]] to the First Order's [[Starkiller Base]] and the [[axial superlaser]] [[cannon]]s of the [[Final Order]]'s [[Xyston-class Star Destroyer|''Xyston''-class Star Destroyers]].<ref name="TSWB" />

According to [[Peli Motto]], a [[technician]] who lived on Tatooine, technology from the era of the Galactic Republic was rare by the time of the New Republic Era. Nevertheless, Motto endeavored to acquire the parts needed to [[Din Djarin's N-1 starfighter|rebuild]] a derelict [[N-1 starfighter]] for her client, the Mandalorian [[Din Djarin]]. As a Galactic Republic-era starfighter, the N-1 was made of pre-Empire handmade components and therefore not manufactured by droids. One such component was a [[turbonic venturi power assimilator]] that Motto acquired from a group of [[Jawa]]s.<ref name="Chapter 5" />

{{Quote|Tales of its founding have been occluded by the haze of intervening millennia, and its rebirth a thousand years ago was regarded as the latest evolution in an unending cycle.

  +
[[File:Coruscant_landscape_RotS.png|thumb|left|250px|The Core Worlds represented the wealthiest and most prestigious region in the Galactic Republic.]]
  +
The Galactic Republic governed the galaxy as a democratic union,<ref name="RepublicDB" /> and as such, it featured a diverse society of humans and various alien [[species]].<ref name="SWP" /> Coruscant in particular was emblematic of Republic society with its diverse mix of citizens and culture, making the Republic capital the "vibrant heart" of the galaxy.<ref name="CoruscantDB" /> Overall, being a galactic government, trillions lived under the Republic, with every one of those beings an individual who had their own thoughts and opinions on current issues; as such, complete consensus was impossible, yet successful Chancellors, like Lina Soh, nonetheless proved it was possible to bring about effective, galactic rule. In Soh's case, she argued to her people the advantage of coming together to make life better for all. Others failed to bring about that same unity by making impossible promises, threats, or abusing power.<ref name="Light of the Jedi" />
  +
  +
The Core Worlds, where Coruscant was located, was home to the most developed systems in the Republic. Various Core planets served as capitals for galactic governments such as the Old Republic, the Empire, and the New Republic. The prosperity of the Core made its worlds the wealthiest and most prestigious members of the Republic, though it was also a source of tension between the Core and the more distant regions of the galaxy. People who lived outside of the Core generally viewed "Core Worlders" as arrogant, entitled, and apathetic to the well-being and needs of other regions. A common criticism of Republic politics was that the system disproportionately favored the Core Worlds to the point of ignoring the rest of the galaxy.<ref name="TSWB" />
  +
  +
[[File:Level_1313_DB.png|thumb|right|250px|The Republic capital's lower levels were ridden with crime and poverty.]]
  +
Coruscant was perceived as perpetuating the Core Worlds' reputation for extreme wealth and privilege. Notwithstanding its unique status as the galactic capital, the whole planet was covered by a city of levels built upon levels throughout the ages of galactic history. The tallest skyscrapers rose over five-thousand levels above the planet's natural surface, and only those who could afford to live in the upper city had access to the comfortable and luxurious lifestyle for which Coruscant was famous. The disparity was such that the lower levels were notorious for widespread crime, poverty, and being devoid of natural sunlight.<ref name="TSWB" />
  +
  +
Republic architecture was an architectural style that demonstrated sweeping lines. This particular design was prominently featured on the city-covered planet of Coruscant, although by the time of the Clone Wars, the Republic gradually adopted a brutalist or bold form of architecture. Introduced by military architects such as Orson Krennic, it ultimately supplanted the Republic style as the dominant architectural form of the Galactic Empire.<ref name="Visual Guide">''[[Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide]]''</ref>
  +
  +
[[Galactic Basic Standard]] was the most prevalent [[language]] in the Republic,<ref name="Aliens of the Galaxy">''[[Star Wars: Aliens of the Galaxy]]''</ref> spoken primarily by humans<ref name="sweWI">{{SWE|characters|wicket|Wicket W. Warrick}}</ref> and the [[Pantoran]]s.<ref name="sweTA">{{SWE|groups|talz|Talz}}</ref> A heavily accented dialect of Basic, with many differences in grammar and vocabulary, was spoken by the Gungans of Naboo.<ref name="Episode I" /> The translation of the Sith language, known as [[ur-Kittât]], was forbidden under Galactic Republic law. [[Protocol droid]]s were consequently programmed against translating the language of the Sith. Darth Sidious believed that the Republic outlawed ur-Kittât out of fear of the Sith Order and its knowledge.<ref name="Secrets of the Sith">''[[Star Wars: The Secrets of the Sith]]''</ref>
  +
  +
[[File:GalaxiesOperaHouse.png|thumb|left|250px|Republic citizens turned away from galactic politics to follow escapist pursuits.]]
  +
The peaceful age of the Republic allowed the people of the galaxy to pursue leisure activities, some of which achieved galactic-level attention. The [[Boonta Eve Classic]], while based on the independent Outer Rim world of Tatooine, beyond the Republic frontier, received coverage and attention as far as the Core Worlds. Prior to the Clone Wars, the Republic's twilight years became an era of escapism as citizens of all classes sought entertaining distractions from their daily lives. Professional podrace circuits and other circuses diverted the people's attention from the growing corruption that permeated the Galactic Senate. Nevertheless, the general public's fascination with various forms of entertainment was driven by an innate desire for stories about good versus evil and situations of escalating danger.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
[[File:JediTemple_cloudysky.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Jedi Order eschewed prestige and celebrity, making them mysterious to the Republic they served.]]
  +
Whereas the Republic evolved through the centuries of its existence, the Jedi Order remained rooted in its ancient traditions, effectively putting the [[Jedi Code]] at odds with a galactic society that strongly favored the future over the past. The inhabitants of the Core Worlds became fixated on notions of fame and fashion, and had little interest in Jedi principles like faith and tradition. The Order maintained its place in the Republic by relying on historic precedent, serving as keepers of peace and justice. Unlike corporate institutions that marketed their services to the greater galaxy, the Order had little desire to promote itself through image-building. Aside from those who witnessed the Jedi's heroics<ref name="Tipping Points">{{TCW|Tipping Points}}</ref> and were awed by their [[Force power]]s, the Order and its ways were forever mysterious to the majority of the Republic citizenry. The Jedi were seen by the public as an order of mystics at best and, at worst, regarded as a zealous sect of warmongers.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
[[File:Republic6SpokedBenduSymbol-RotS.svg|thumb|left|200px|A variant of the Republic crest was used during the Clone Wars.]]
  +
As a result of territorial expansion, the Republic developed a sense of manifest destiny. This cultural belief was cultivated by Republic propagandists who sought to foster civic pride among the populace so that they would ultimately feel duty-bound to support the Republic's expansion from rim to rim. There was an exponential growth in Republic patriotism due to the Clone Wars and the accompanying propaganda that promoted loyalty to the state. Patriotic messages stirred an entire generation into action; however, they could not enlist in the Grand Army as its ranks were exclusive to clone troopers. Nevertheless, Republic citizens felt obliged to do their part by purchasing war bonds, reporting acts of treason, and making sacrifices to support the war effort.<ref name="SWP" /> The [[Republic crest]], the symbol of a united galaxy under the Force,<ref name="Complete Vehicles 2018">[[Star Wars: Complete Vehicles (2018)|''Star Wars: Complete Vehicles'']]</ref> was emblazoned on military war machines and heraldry, featuring more prominently than before.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
Although the Republic expanded into the Outer Rim Territories, the region was too underdeveloped to have the same stability as the Core Worlds. As the galaxy's largest region, the Outer Rim featured a myriad of diversity through its various planets and species. The Republic government had little oversight over the Outer Rim due to the region's distance from the Core, and as such the Outer Rim remained known for its lawless, sparsely populated, and primitive worlds. Republic law was virtually non-existent in the Outer Rim; as a result, bounty hunters, outlaws and smugglers were able to operate with impunity,<ref name="TSWB" /> and [[slavery]] was still practiced in spite of the Republic's anti-slave laws.<ref name="Episode I" />
  +
  +
===Xenophobia===
  +
{{Quote|Under Gunray's tenure, the Trade Federation would loudly counter such claims as common anti-Neimoidian prejudice.|Janyor|<ref name="SWP" />}}
  +
[[File:Taxation_Without_Federation-SW_Propaganda.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A popular stereotype of the Neimoidian race was the fat plutocrat who embodied greed and treachery.]]
  +
During the High Republic Era, Chancellor Soh wanted to promote unity amongst the various species that made up the Republic, using the phrase "We are all the Republic" to let the population know they were all part of the system;<ref name="Light of the Jedi" /> however, [[xenophobia]] was an issue in a society as diverse as the Republic. Although the Republic officially promoted unity among its member worlds<ref name="SWP" /> and outlawed the enslavement of [[Sentience|sentient]] species,<ref name="Episode I" /> some people were subjected to racial stereotypes. [[Neimoidian]]s, for example, were considered obese, duplicitous and avaricious by some, including those who harbored anti-corporate views. This perception of their race was a product of Neimoidian culture, which cultivated a "survival of the fittest" mentality in Neimoidian [[youngling]]s.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
The Trade Federation used xenophobic sentiments as a means to silence its critics, insinuating that those who sought to [[Taxation Without Federation|curtail the Federation's massive influence]] were prejudiced towards its Neimoidian leaders. The [[Muun]]s likewise had an image problem due to their monopoly in the InterGalactic Banking Clan. In general Muuns saw little need to build a relationship of stability and trust with the galaxy; they simply assumed that their place in society was to continue dominating galactic finances. Their cultural standards informed their business practices; therefore, Muun-sponsored advertisements were viewed as "distant and disconnected."<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
During the Clone Wars, anti-alien prejudice grew as a result of the non-human races that constituted the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Vice Chancellor Mas Amedda sought to promote the Republic's multicultural aspect, having taken notice of the attention given to human citizens by the Republic media. Rather than reporting on Amedda's effort to showcase Republic diversity, [[HoloNet News]] outlets focused on the Vice Chancellor's self-inclusion as the sole [[Chagrian]] in an assembly of various aliens. The populace decried Amedda's [[Strength and Unity|message of strength and unity]], and considered him an egocentric narcissist.<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
[[File:Keep_Our_Republic_Secure.png|thumb|left|200px|The Clone Wars fueled the Republic population's anti-droid sentiment.]]
  +
The Clone Wars also inflamed the population's [[anti-droid sentiment]] to new levels due in no small part to the Separatists' reliance on battle droids. Droids had long become commonplace in galactic society, and though machines had always been the property of organics, the war cemented the view that droids were an existential threat to biological life. The Republic capitalized on this sentiment, using propaganda to illustrate droids as ruthless and dangerous tools of destruction. While the the concept of "droid terror" was embodied by battlefield machines, such as the [[B1-series battle droid]], [[B2-series super battle droid]], and the [[droideka]], administrative [[aide]] droids were viewed as a different kind of "droid threat" to Republic security. There was a growing fear among the Core's affluent population that the personal assistant droids of businessbeings and government administrators could be co-opted through spyware and used for Separatist [[Spy|espionage]].<ref name="SWP" />
  +
  +
Despite the Jedi Order's millennia of service to the Republic,<ref name="TSWB" /> there was widespread [[anti-Jedi sentiment]] as a result of the Clone Wars.<ref name="SWP" /> The Sith plotted to undermine the relationship between the Republic citizenry and their Jedi guardians,<ref name="Age of Republic" /> using the Clone Wars to shake the Republic's faith in the Order.<ref name="SWP" /> The Order fought hard to bring a swift and decisive end to the conflict,<ref name="Episode III" /> but many citizens believed that the Jedi were warmongers. This perception was able to grow due in part to the Jedi's reluctance to accept accolades or embrace the fame of their status. It was the Order's preference to serve but not engage the populace; as such, the population's anti-Jedi views were the result of the Order's cultural absence as opposed to an actual refutation of their ways.<ref name="SWP" />

The Republic exerted most of its power from the Core Worlds to the borders of the Mid Rim, to the extent that corporations conducted their legally dubious practices in regions where the Republic held little sway. Faced with issues like overpopulation and poverty among the lower classes, the Republic turned its attention to the Outer Rim, adopting a policy of expansion toward the uncharted territories of the known galaxy's farthest frontier.

Although the Republic opposed secession, it effectively lost control over the territories that formed the Separatist Alliance. Its territorial extent changed numerous times over the course of the Clone Wars, with worlds lost and reclaimed by the Grand Army of the Republic. However, the Republic also gained new territory as a result of the war. Geonosis, the planet where the Separatist Droid Army was secretly constructed, existed beyond the Republic's borders.<ref name="SWP" /> The Republic Military [[Occupation of Geonosis|occupied]] the [[Geonosian]] homeworld after the First Battle of Geonosis, and subsequently returned to [[Second Battle of Geonosis|reconquer]] the planet after it fell back under Separatist control.<ref name="Rise of the Separatists" /> The [[Ruling Council (Kamino)|Kaminoan government]] formally joined the Republic; as such, Kamino<ref name="SWP" />&mdash;an [[extragalactic]] planet<ref name="SW:CL" />&mdash;was accorded full representation in the Galactic Senate, having supplied the Republic with its clone industry.<ref name="SWP" />

"The Galactic Republic was the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time."
―Janyor[15]

The Galactic Republic, also known as the Grand Republic or simply as the Republic, was a democratic federal union spread across light-years of space. Old Republic and first Galactic Republic were terms affixed to the pre-modern Republic that existed until 1032 BBY, with the Old Republic also referring to the modern Republic that was supplanted by the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY. In addition, the term High Republic denoted the era in which the Republic reached the zenith of its power, lasting from around 500 BBY to around 100 BBY. The Republic was founded many millennia before the Battle of Yavin, approximately 25,000 BBY, around the same time as the Jedi Order. The Galactic Senate governed the Republic under the Galactic Constitution, and comprised thousands of senators representing the Republic's member worlds. The Supreme Chancellor was the title of the head of the Republic, elected from ranks of the Senate to lead the government on Coruscant. An ecumenopolis or city-covered planet, referred to as Galactic City, Coruscant was the capital of the Republic and therefore the seat of the Senate.

The Galactic Republic and it star systems shared sovereignty, and spanned a multiplicity of worlds from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim Territories, uniting a variety of sentient species, human and alien alike, under one banner. As its power grew, the Republic fought many wars against various opponents such as Mandalorians, the Zygerrian Slave Empire, the Nihil, and several Sith Empires. The Jedi Order, a religious group of Force-sensitives dedicated to the light side of the Force, was sworn to the service of the Senate, and as such the Jedi Knights were hailed as the guardians of peace and justice within the Republic. Centuries of conflict culminated in the fall of the Old Republic, and the last war between the ancient Jedi and Sith concluded with the restoration and rise of the modern Galactic Republic, ushering in the Republic Era which was an age of peace that lasted for a thousand years. The Republic's history was officially reset, and the ages before this event were merged into a collective whole known as the Old Republic-era.

The Republic entered a period of decline after centuries of expansion and prosperity. Aided by the resurgent Sith Lords, the Separatist Crisis divided the galaxy between the Republic loyalists and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Grand Army of the Republic was organized under the leadership of Jedi Generals who led the Republic Military against the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars. However, the conflict had been orchestrated to allow Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine—the alter ego of Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith—to control and deceive the Republic in a dictatorial manner. With the end of the war, Sidious initiated the Great Jedi Purge through Order 66 and transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire by declaring himself Galactic Emperor. The Imperial Senate stood as the last remnant of the Old Republic until it was disbanded by the Emperor at the height of the Imperial Era. In the aftermath of the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance to Restore the Republic was fully reorganized into the New Republic, restoring the Galactic Republic after a generation of Imperial rule.

History[]

Birth of freedom[]

"For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times. Before the Empire."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi[18]
OldRepublicEmblem

The pre-modern Galactic Republic was referred to as the "Old Republic."

The original Galactic Republic was formed in approximately 25,000 BBY[12] and rose to power by expanding across the galaxy,[15] with several of its founding members being the planets Alderaan[19] and Chandrila.[20] Around 20,019 BBY the Thisspiasian Blood Monarchy joined the Galactic Republic in its early founding.[21] Multiple versions of the Republic existed throughout its extensive history; historians referred to this pre-modern period as the "Old Republic,"[15] although the government's official name was the Galactic Republic.[22] The Old Republic's capital was located on an ecumenopolis known as Coruscant, and would remain there for thousands of years.[23]

At one time, Coruscant's fellow city world of Troithe rivaled it as the Republic's cosmopolitan center, holding a population in the billions. A notable portion of those citizens were part of major merchant and noble families. However, Coruscant ultimately outpaced Troithe in industrial growth. As years passed, Troithe fell into decline.[24] At least five millennia before the start of the Galactic Civil War,[25] a rogue faction of Jedi broke away from the Jedi Order, believing that practicing the dark side of the Force would benefit in the furthering of Jedi power. This schism divided the Order on ideological grounds, igniting an event known as the Hundred-Year Darkness, which, in turn, resulted in the formation of the Sith.[26] At one point, they managed to construct a dark shrine on Coruscant. The rogue faction was ultimately defeated and they were exiled from the Old Republic into uncharted space.[6]

At some point, the Jedi Temple was constructed over the Sith shrine in order to contain its dark energy.[6] Once it had established itself on Coruscant, the Jedi Order came to closely associate itself with the Old Republic, serving as guardians of the peace and justice for over a thousand generations.[18] Little did the Jedi know, the Sith had regrouped on the planet Moraband.[26]

Thousands of years before the Imperial Era, the Corellian royalty sponsored exploration and colonization efforts that helped expand the frontiers of the Old Republic.[27] Hyperspace travel would prove to be the key to the Republic's expansion past the Core Worlds.[28]

A clash of destinies in the galaxy[]

"The history of the Ascendancy is in these rooms, some of the pieces dating back to Chiss participation in the wars between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire."
Mitth'raw'nuruodo, to Ar'alani[22]

As the Old Republic spread its influence across the stars, it came into contact with various other powers, one of them being the Zygerrian Slave Empire. Due to the fact that, at some point in its past, the Old Republic declared slavery illegal and expected other civilizations of the galaxy to comply, it took an aggressive stance against the Zygerrians. The Zygerrian Empire, which was built upon slavery, refused to comply, forcing both the Old Republic and the Jedi to intervene. After joining together, the Old Republic and Jedi Order sent their armies against the empire after the Zygerrians refused. The Old Republic ultimately came out victorious, driving the practice of slave trading into the underworld, dismantling the empire, and confining what was left of its government to Zygerria, the civilization's homeworld.[29] Another one was the rogue Predori empire.[30]

Destructive wars were fought between the Sith and the Jedi in the age of the Old Republic.

Eventually, the Sith would return in full strength, invading the Old Republic. From there, the dark Order would do battle with the Jedi and the Old Republic. This would lead to a series of conflicts between both groups that would go on for thousands of years until the Old Republic's ultimate collapse.[26] During one of the wars, the Jedi fought the Sith Empire on Malachor, which proved to be one of the most devastating battles in the history of the Order.[31]

At some point, the Old Republic came into contact with the Mandalorian people. The warrior civilization began a series of unprovoked military campaigns against the Old Republic. Later on, after all-out war erupted, the Jedi stepped in to defend the Republic.[32] In the meantime, Republic and Jedi forces continued to wage war against the expanding Sith Empire. During these wars, both sides would construct massive superweapons powered by large kyber crystals capable of mass destruction.[33][34]

The Middle Era of the Old Republic was one period of galactic history.[35] The Galactic Republic also participated in the Sith Wars, a series of conflicts against the Sith Empire and involving the Chiss Ascendancy. The Ascendancy encountered a number of aliens before retreating to their borders.[22]

Fall of the Old Republic[]

The Mandalorian Wars brought on the beginning of the Old Republic's downfall.

With the civilization of the Sith and the warrior culture of Mandalore, and with their beliefs of continual warfare without regard to the Jedi mandate of protecting the weak, the Jedi Order continued to mobilize its forces in an effort to stop enemy incursions into Old Republic space.[32][26]

The power of the Sith Empire increased during the fall of the Old Republic. The Sith soon achieved near-dominance across the galaxy.[2] It was also during this time that an ancestor of Pre Vizsla,[36] leader of the Mandalorian group Death Watch during the Clone Wars, managed to steal the Darksaber from the Jedi Temple.[32]

At some point the galaxy entered a state known as the Dark Age. During this time, the Jedi-Sith War broke out. Early on in this conflict, the Old Republic capital world of Coruscant was taken over by the Sith during the Battle of Coruscant. Later on in the war, the Sith were driven off the planet by the Jedi during the Liberation of Coruscant.[15]

The fires of hope[]

"The Republic victory was so definitive that it reinvented itself, resettling its capital on Coruscant after a devastating ouster. History reset its chrono on this date, and from that moment, the modern Galactic Republic was born."
―Janyor[15]

The Old Republic managed to regain some of its strength after its forces had reclaimed the capital, capable of going on the offensive.[15] The Jedi were strong enough to finally end its ancient war against the Mandalorian clans. A battle between both groups on the planet Mandalore left the planet ravaged and lifeless.[37] It was during this time too when the Sith were finally defeated in 1032 BBY.[38] The armies of the Old Republic[39] and Jedi Knights[40] were able to defeat the remaining Sith[39] at the Mid Rim Territories planet[41] Ruusan[42] by taking advantage of the infighting within the Order,[39] which proved to be the Sith's undoing.[42] The Sith abandoned their traditional homeworld of Moraband after it was scarred by many wars,[43] and went into hiding.[6] Very few Sith remained by that point, and they ultimately destroyed themselves. Only one Sith Lord survived; Darth Bane reinvented the Sith by creating the Rule of Two. Henceforth, their ranks were limited to a Sith Master and a Sith apprentice.[39]

Galactic City

The Old Republic was reborn as the modern Galactic Republic after millennia of warfare.

As the Old Republic fell apart as a result of its continuous wars, the Jedi Order finally believed itself victorious from its conflict with the Sith, who they believed to have been destroyed completely. Finally, with peace restored to the galaxy, the shattered Old Republic reorganized itself into the modern Galactic Republic,[15] which would usher in over one thousand years of stability in an epoch known as the Great Peace.[44] The story of Old Republic Regent Hylemane Lightbringer and his supposed immortality would be remembered in history texts along with Old Republic music such as the Sestina of Imperator Vex, which would continue to be sung even in the months following the Battle of Endor.[17]

Rise of democracy[]

"There hasn't been a full-scale war since the formation of the Republic."
―Sio Bibble[9]
Millennial Celebration Invitation

The Great Peace of the Republic lasted for almost a thousand years.

The Old Republic was restored[25] in the form of the modern Galactic Republic[15] in 1032 BBY.[14] After the Galactic Republic's reformation,[29] the Zygerrians would continue to hold a grudge against both the Republic and the Jedi Order for the destruction of their slave empire.[45][46][47]

The modern Republic was a democratic union that consisted of multiple star systems spread across the galaxy.[1] With the exception of small-scale conflicts that the Jedi dealt with, the Republic Era was an age of peace and stability that lasted for over a millennium.[15] This version of the Republic existed in a demilitarized state for most of its history;[9] as such, the government relied on the Jedi Knights, who upheld their mandate as the guardians of peace and justice.[48]

The Four Sages of Dwartii were notable in influencing some of its earliest laws.[49] As its governing body, the newly reorganized government established the Galactic Senate, the members of which were elected to represent their systems. Coruscant was the galactic seat of power under the Republic,[1] as it had been for thousands of years before the Republic's rebirth.[15]

The Republic's head of state, the Supreme Chancellor, was elected by and from the senators, in which the first in a long line of Chancellors[6] was Tarsus Valorum,[8] a scion of the House Valorum.[6][10] Protecting the new democracy was the elite Senate Guard, who could be seen patrolling the Senate District and came to be seen as symbols of strength and unity, especially considering the fact that the military had been disbanded.[6][50] In time, the Jedi Order, a noble order of protectors who could tap into the power of the Force, came to serve the Republic as guardians of peace and justice.[48] With the lack of a standing army, the Republic came to rely on its peacekeeping Judicial Forces, led by the Judicial Department as the de facto law enforcement branch of the government. The Judicial Forces, members of which were simply known as Judicials, trained at the Judicial Academy and came to serve in both ground and space forces, often led by Jedi Commanders to maintain peace throughout the galaxy.[6]

High Republic Era[]

A golden age[]

"We are all the Republic."
―Lina Soh[28]
High Republic symbol

The term "High Republic" referred to an era of prosperity and exploration between 500 BBY and 100 BBY.

With the galaxy at peace,[28] the High Republic Era, which lasted from around 500 BBY to around 100 BBY,[51] saw the Galactic Republic reach the pinnacle of its power, with its influence spreading to even the farthest and less settled regions of the galaxy:[52] the Republic worked to expand into the Outer Rim, specifically a region[28] of the Rim[53] known as the Galactic Frontier.[28] The Jedi Order also became increasingly active in galactic affairs[54] and helped the Republic's efforts. An Office of the Frontier was established.[55] The Republic's expansion kicked off the Great Hyperspace Rush to find and map any yet to be discovered hyperspace routes,[56] with Republic Pathfinders working directly for the government[57] as Outer Rim Exploration Teams.[55] Private groups got involved in the hunt for new hyperspace routes as well, with the San Tekka clan and Graf family both taking advantage of the rush. The San Tekka clan's success in locating new routes and ensuing fortune from those discoveries were secretly a result of the Force-sensitive Mari San Tekka, who had the special ability to locate and map out the routes herself.[28]

Beyond the mission to open up new hyperlanes[58] by discovering[56] and charting them,[55] Republic Pathfinders were ordered to explore, help those they found, and, in what was a major part of their mission, establish a functioning communications network across the Outer Rim. While creating the network, Pathfinder teams often worked alongside comms teams in order to get in contact with the Republic at large while out in the Rim. However, the Pathfinders needed to establish the network one node at a time. While the Pathfinders knew the long-term effort would one day result in communications being as fast in the Rim as it was in the Core, Grint Rupar of Outer Rim Expedition Eight-Zero-Seven suspected the work would take generations. Nevertheless, Jedi Porter Engle dubbed it a noble effort that would change lives for the better. Members of the Jedi Order worked side-by-side with Pathfinders, traveling with them and helping in the Republic effort.[59] One Pathfinder team, while working on charting the hyperlanes near Sullust, discovered the volcanic planet Tunguray and evacuated its people to safety on Coruscant.[55]

OrlenMolloKyongGreylark-TheChancellors

Orlen Mollo and Kyong Greylark served as Co-Chancellors of the Galactic Republic.

Around 382 BBY,[60] leadership of the Republic was split between two chancellors, Orlen Mollo and Kyong Greylark. Elected and then re-elected together, their joint leadership[55] as Co-Chancellors[61] helped in the Republic's outreach; while the more formal Greylark remained on Coruscant[62] with the Senate, Mollo traveled across the Outer Rim with his aides and crew aboard the Alif-class Longbeam Paxion,[55] adopting a hands on approach to governance[62] to help with expansion and end problems. Having lived through conflict on Mon Cala, Mollo believed he better understood the Outer Rim but trusted in his Co-Chancellor, whom he believed saw the promise in the Outer Rim but not the finer details he could, all the same due to their shared vision: a truly united galaxy.[55]

Ambassador ships like the Paxion were also provided with top-of-the-line protocol droids, with the Paxion being given unit AR-K4.[55] With the Republic aided by the Jedi,[63] the Republic and Togrutas engaged in a conflict in Togruta space that left tensions between both parties.[64] While Greylark believed the star system was not ready for their intervention, Mollo traveled to the planets of Eiram and E'ronoh, which were home to a war he hoped to finally put a stop to. At the same time, a team of Jedi—consisting of Master Char-Ryl-Roy, Master Creighton Sun, Knight Gella Nattai, and Padawan Enya Keen—traveled into the system aboard the Valiant to provide aid to Eiram, only to collide with the Paxion amid a skirmish that had secretly been orchestrated by the Path of the Open Hand cult under the control of "the Mother." Despite the rocky opening, Mollo and the Jedi began the peace process between both worlds' royal families aboard the Paxion, although progress only truly started to be made when E'ronohi princess Xiri A'lbaran proposed to Eirami prince Phan-tu Zenn, thereby setting the stage for a marriage alliance and an unlikely love story.[55]

Meanwhile on Coruscant, Greylark feared Mollo was making a play at a solo-chancellery ahead of the campaign season. In reality, Mollo simply wanted to be the one to bring peace to the system because of his own past surrounded by war. Deep down, Greylark did trust in her fellow Chancellor, but sent her controversial son Axel Greylark to represent her office in the peace proceedings and report back to her. Axel's own dealings with the Path of the Open Hand nearly led to the destruction of the peace process after cult leader Elecia Zeveron demanded he bring her a toxin developed on Eiram. Amid the successful Wedding of Phan-tu Zenn and Xiri A'lbaran officiated by Mollo, Axel's desperation to prevent Zeveron from securing the toxin led to him destroying the deflector shields around Eiram's capital of Erasmus. After Axel's arrest, the royals agreeing to destroy the toxin, and the formal beginning of the peace process, Mollo reminded his fellow Chancellor to trust him, to which Greylark admitted she did and she had simply wanted to trust her son as well.[55]

Conflict with the Path[]

Yoda: "Speak to the Jedi Council soon, you should. We must explain the happenings on Dalna. All that went wrong."
Orlen Mollo: "The communications errors. The machinations of the Path. All going back to the failed talks at Jedha. And beyond."
Kyong Greylark: "But we must also speak to all the things that went right. We could not have defeated the Path without the Jedi."
Yoda: "And the Jedi could not have defeated the Path without the help of our Republic allies."
Orlen Mollo: "Yes. It is a lesson well learned, and a strength that the galaxy can draw upon, for centuries to come."
―Jedi Grand Master Yoda, Supreme Chancellor Orlen Mollo, and former Chancellor Kyong Greylark reflect on recent events[65]

With it decided the Eirami and E'roni representatives would meet on the neutral ground of Jedha to form an official treaty, Mollo allowed Morton San Tekka to oversee the discussions as neutral arbiter, deciding it would be better than sending a Republic official. However, the interference of the Path and Graf family member Tilson kicked off the Battle of Jedha,[66] shattering any hope of a lasting peace between Eiram and E'ronoh.[67] Rushing to Jedha after receiving a transmission from Sun about the collapse of the peace process, a group of Jedi and a platoon of Republic peacekeeping troops shut down the battle.[66] Afterward, Axel was freed from prison by the Path of the Open Hand and brought to the Path compound on the planet Dalna, where he was recieved by the Mother, who hoped to use Axel to leverage power over the galaxy through his connection with Chancellor Greylark. When Axel sent a message to his mother requesting her to come to Dalna as part of the Mother's plans, Greylark decided that she needed to support her son as a parent and understood that, should she arrive as Chancellor, the galaxy would be in danger. As such, she relinquished her position as Chancellor, leaving Mollo the sole leader of the Republic, much to his shock.[65]

In the name of investigating the Path, Jedi forces arrived on Dalna[65] with the support of the Republic,[56] which approved of the action and dispatched guards Priv Ittik and Lu Sweet to aid the Jedi. As the incident devolved into a battle, the Jedi would also be aided by anti-Path Dalnans, but the Jedi were also faced by Force consuming creatures known as the Nameless. In the end, Greylark arrived on Dalna to help her son, and the united militaries of Eiram and E'ronoh arrived in the name of defeating the Path after its efforts to divide them were uncovered. Although the reinforcements shut down the fighting, the high causalities of the battle, which ended with the Path even destroying its own caverns,[65] resulted in it being remembered as a massacre[56] dubbed the Night of Sorrow.[68] From a certain point of view, the massacre had only happened because of the Jedi-Republic partnership,[56] yet the Jedi and Republic's victory in the battle was seen as proof that partnership between both organizations made the galaxy stronger.[65]

In the aftermath of the battle, Axel agreed to spend the time he owed in prison and revealed what he knew of the Path's internal workings, although the cult's membership had been shattered and fled across the stars.[65] One of its major leaders, Guide of the Closed Fist Marda Ro, escaped the destruction and set about on a new plan for revenge by forming the Nihil,[69] with her plan being carried on by subsequent generations of the Ro family.[28] Jedi Masters Crieghton Sun and Yoda also agreed to cover up all information on the Nameless until more details were discovered. Meanwhile, a new treaty was set to be signed by the now-cooperating peoples of Eiram and E'ronoh. Two weeks after the battle, a ceremony on the union of Eiram and E'ronoh and the opening of a new hyperlane was held on their shared moon by Mollo.[65] At some point, the San Tekka clan lost Mari San Tekka to the Ro family, who used her to locate hyperspace Paths for their own revenge scheme.[28]

The Starlight Beacon program[]

"In the days of the High Republic, the galaxy was not as settled as it is now. Areas like the Outer Rim were dangerous, hard to navigate. So the people of that time built a huge space station at great effort and expense and placed it in the center of the dark zones. It sent out a signal that acted as a sort of beacon, helping travelers find their way. They gave that station an inspiring name, fitting its purpose."
―Grek[70]
TargonSoh

Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh endeavored to unite the various peoples of the Galactic Republic.

In 232 BBY[71] the Galactic Republic was under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh[28] and Vice Chancellor Larep Reza, who was a rising star in the Senate and thought to be Soh's apparent successor whenever her term came to its end.[64] To showcase support for all species in its borders, the governmental motto became "We are all the Republic." Under Soh,[28] the Republic even began to take steps to curb its habit of indulging in bureaucracy when it needed to be instead taking action; even though the issue remained in a lesser form, the Republic took great steps in advancing beyond it.[72] At some point the Republic intervened in the Soikan civil war to finally put a stop to the seemingly-endless conflict.[68]

Concurrent to its outreach program, the Republic was in the midst of an era where all voices were listened to, creating governance from consensus and a society of culture, inclusion, ambition, and Soh's many Great Works. Among the earliest of these works—which encompassed everything from infrastructure projects to cultural affairs— was the Panacea, a Salvation-class Republic medical frigate that was deployed to help citizens after various crises; therefore, the frigate became a symbol of Republic's dedication to help its citizens. Other planned Great Works included a new treaty between the Mon Calamari and Quarren, the Republic Fair, various communication relays, cementing the understanding of how to cultivate Bacta, and various innovations in fields like technology. The greatest of the works was nonetheless Starlight Beacon, which was planned to only be the first in a Beacon network that could truly bring the Republic out of the Core.[28]

RepublicFairPoster

The Republic's "Great Works" initiative saw the construction of distant outposts like Starlight Beacon.

Constructed along with other way stations at considerable expense and effort[70] through many challenges over a long period of time,[28] Starlight Beacon was designed to expand the Republic's domain to the unexplored "dark zones" of the Outer Rim Territories[70] because Soh pledged to bring that region into the Republic's embrace, hoping the government could actually help the Outer Rim instead of simply flying through it or using it as another place to collect taxes. Beyond using its beacon to guide travelers and its relay to boost local transmissions by a factor of ten, the Beacon was a Republic embassy[28] within the Galactic Frontier,[73] that could serve many other purposes, being a fortress to discourage piracy, a place for cultural showcases, a state-of-the-art medical center, and, in part, a massive Jedi temple. The Jedi provided support to the Republic and its projects. The Jedi established outposts on many Outer Rim worlds, ensuring they could explore and protect those who lived without much of a Republic presence.[28]

Although the Outer Rim was hard to navigate and dangerous to live in,[70] many poor settlers traveled to the region, leaving the overpopulated Core Worlds and Colonies in pursuit of new lives. These dreams for better lives were supported by the Republic, which—although imperfect like all governments—encouraged the hopes of its citizens, whether those hopes be large or small. Additionally, Soh wanted the people of the Republic to know that they all were part of the government, and the Republic began construction of Starlight Beacon to help with its expansion into the Outer Rim. The beacon was the symbol of everything Soh wanted for the Republic, being able to ensure it could truly expand from the Core to be a galactic government. Others in the government preferred the status quo, wanting to save credits in case of future issues, but Soh, having proved to her people the positive effect of coming together, pushed on with her works to bring the Republic into the Rim. Every Senator knew the success of Starlight would bring forth Soh's hopes that future generations could live in prosperity, while its failure would be massive.[28]

TheGreatDisaster

Starships across the galaxy were thrown out of hyperspace in an event known as the Great Hyperspace Disaster.

Lacking a formal military due to the galaxy's peace, the Republic was protected by a small peacekeeping fleet known as the Republic Defense Coalition, which was helped by the Jedi Order. Despite the large-scale partnership between them and Republic during the era,[28] there came to be some Jedi who doubted whether it was truly the will of the Force for them to act so closely with the government. Indeed, Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus believed it was a Republic and Jedi partnership that had led to the massacre on Dalna[56] from over a century prior.[68] The partnership between the two parties would only increase when the Nihil conflict began;[56] the conflict began when starships were abruptly knocked out of hyperspace in a galaxy-wide event known as the Great Hyperspace Disaster[52] caused by the Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro, a member of the Ro family who had destroyed the transport Legacy Run in hyperspace, which made its remains come out of hyperspace in the Hetzal system, causing a sudden crisis as they rained upon the system. Beyond wanting revenge on the Jedi for secretive, family reasons, Ro had made his move to ensure the Nihil raiders could grow beyond what they were currently. With the Republic expanding into the Outer Rim, he knew they would need to change themselves to survive, launching his plot to ensure he could secure leadership over the raiders.[28]

FourJediTwoContractorsOneBox

The Jedi and Republic rushed to the Hetzal system to save it from the Great Disaster.

The RDC deployed the Emissary-class Republic Cruiser Third Horizon to the Hetzal system in response to the Hetzalian government's distress signal. Aboard the ship, Jedi Master Avar Kriss was overseeing the effort, learning through her Force network that some of the fragments raining upon the system contained living beings. She helped lead the effort to rescue the system's refugees and everyone aboard the fragments until she detected a large container of liquid tibanna threatening the system's R-class star. Kriss and the other Jedi used their combined focus to move the container with the Force, while the RDC continued to focus on evacuating the remaining refugees. The Jedi's effort to move the container was broadcast across the Outer Rim and into the inner Republic worlds by technician Keven Tarr; while he had at first only sent the signal to Chancellor Soh, he did not want his star system to be destroyed without being acknowledged, so the people of the Republic watched the Jedi effort. At first, the Force users failed, but their second attempt moved the container, saving Hetzal and resulting in cheers across the Republic.[28]

Although the Republic was able to learn the destruction of the Legacy Run had been the cause of the disaster, the government remained unaware of why it was destroyed, making Soh fear another disaster could happen in hyperspace. Additionally, the Republic was faced with the Emergences; these were when remaining fragments of the Legacy Run, which were all continuing to travel throughout hyperspace, exited in an Outer Rim system, resulting in pieces raining down and destroying whatever they hit. The First Emergence was at the Ab Dalis system, which was further along the same hyperspace route the Run had been traveling on, and these Emergences continued to spread. Thus, Soh feared the Republic could have to cease hyperspace travel, which would separate worlds and effectively end the galactic government. Additionally, the Nihil took advantage of the First Emergence, launching a raid on a convoy of ships carrying refugees. Nevertheless, because he had caused it, only Ro understood that they were directly responsible for the Great Disaster and its aftershocks.[28]

Conflict with the Nihil[]

"I mean the Republic, building its Starlight Beacon out in my territory. Invading, taking over, with all its rules and laws and particular brand of freedom that isn't free at all. And you Jedi always just behind, absolutely convinced that every action you take is right and good. My family learned that to its cost, long ago."
―Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro[28]

Although it was a larger mobilization effort than anything done for sometime, Soh established an RDC blockade of various Outer Rim hyperspace routes, intending to protect starships from being destroyed in hyperspace by stopping that travel altogether. The blockade would ultimately be forced to grow as more systems were effected by the Emergences. As predicted by Senator Izzet Noor, who served as the spokesperson in the Senate for the majority of the Outer Rim, the blockade brought strife, as many Rim worlds were not self-sufficient and depended on hyperspace for trade. During a meeting on Coruscant fifteen Emergences into the crisis, Soh had pledged to send supply ships into hyperspace if a food crisis grew too dire, although the halting of the trade still had major negative effects for the Rim. During that same meeting, she established that the hyperlanes would remain closed, minus limited transport of essential goods, until they knew more about the crisis before noting she was unwilling to postpone the dedication of the Starlight Beacon; it was nearly finished, and she wanted to use the event to showcase a triumph over adversity.[28]

AuroraThreeAtKur

The Great Disaster precipitated a conflict between the Republic and the Nihil in the Outer Rim Territories.

Survivors of the first Emergence and Great Hyperspace Disaster were taken to the yet-to-officially open Starlight for medical treatment. With Starlight due to open in thirty days, Soh gave that as the timeline to solve the Emergence crisis; she did not want to open the way station while the blockade was still ongoing, knowing it would appear as if the Republic could not protect its own people. Due to the blockade, the Nihil's craft became the only ships traveling at lightspeed, making Ro suggest they slow down operations—stating they could attract the attention of the Jedi or RDC—while also sowing the seeds for his takeover, approving the raid on Elphrona to ensure a Jedi would be captured. Meanwhile with the Republic, technician Tarr, having tracked the previous Emergences to form a pattern, began to construct a system of thousands of navigation droids, hoping it could be used to predict where future Emergences would be and find the Legacy Run's black box. Assigned to learn more about the Emergences, Jedi Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann were also directed to meet with the San Tekka Clan on Naboo by Noor, yet Patriarchs Vellis and Marlowe San Tekka did not disclose any information about Mari, despite realizing her abilities could have caused the crisis and giving the Republic effort other aid.[28]

The Republic rescue fleet was dispatched to the planet Trymant IV in the wake of an Emergence and Nihil attack.[74] The Republic effectively assumed the Nihil were destroyed in the Battle of Kur, but the marauders survived and began to launch their raids on a galaxy-wide scale, instead of remaining in the Outer Rim.[28] The Nihil attack on Valo was a major blow to the Republic, although it did give a chance for the Republic and Torgrutas to heal their relations.[64] In the aftermath of the Battle of Grizal, Republic forces rallied under Jedi Master Emerick Caphtor to clear out a Nihil base on Vrant Tarnum.[75] Following the end of the Drengir crisis, the Republic and Jedi were able to focus their efforts on defeating the Nihil through Operation: Counterstrike,[76] in which the Republic and Jedi moved to wipe out all known Nihil bases. However, the conflict also resulted in the Republic and Jedi growing closer together, with Chancellor Soh and her aides coming to insert themselves into even the Jedi Council's[56] normally private[10] meetings.[56] As the High Republic Era drew to a close around 82 BBY,[77] Jedi Padawan Sean remembered that the Nihil had launched an invasion of the Republic.[78]

Expansion and stagnation[]

"With eyes toward expansion into the uncharted reaches of the Outer Rim, the traditions of the Core became passé. Opportunity beckoned from beyond the borders of the Mid Rim worlds."
―Janyor[15]
Invest Wisely

Commerce guilds generated massive profits by investing in the Republic's expansionist policy.

For centuries, the Galactic Republic expanded not through force but by quietly exerting a strong magnetic pull towards neighboring systems. The promise of trade with Core World markets held many systems in sway, inexorably luring non-member worlds into tighter cooperation with the state body. Despite this, the Republic remained slow to invite new systems into its fold, as the addition of new territories diminished the political power of existing senators. New member states invariably aligned themselves with local galactic power blocs, while most senators who gave the invitations represented systems in the Core. As a result, the Galactic Center represented the beating heart of the Republic that habitually drew wealth and power from the hinterlands, with most senators dismaying at the extension of services and protection to outlying worlds. Consequently, many useful star systems were left waiting—some for centuries—for the body politic to admit their world as a member of the Congress, even though it came at the cost of the body's overall power.[79]

As time went by the Republic stood firm, becoming increasingly powerful. As a result, the galaxy remained free of any full-scale war for centuries. However, many of the bureaucrats and senators that ran the government continued to work for their own profit rather than the common good. Greed, corruption and internal strife slowly began destroying the government from within.[1] The Core, revitalized from the destructive conflicts of the past and ravenous for new resources to exploit, embarked on an aggressive colonization policy, exploring, mapping, and settling untouched planets within the Outer Systems, striking deals with or simply overrunning the indigenous populations that stood in their path. Adventurous pioneers found themselves granted permission by Coruscant to settle new territories and establish trading colonies to feed the Core with the goods and raw materials for its continual self-enrichment. Many new systems, finding themselves lacking the funds to mine, process, and ship their products to market, were forced to secure high-interest loans from the InterGalactic Banking Clan, whereupon many, unable to repay their debts, found themselves as mere client worlds to the Muun bankers. As time progressed, the laborious task of astrogating by hyperwave beacons—which required numerous reversions to realspace—became simplified with the founding of new hyperlanes, such as the Hydian Way. Many systems, eager to benefit from the opportunities offered by charting hyperlanes through their system, sought to influence the Republic Senate to put themselves on the galactic map.[6]

Settle the Outer Rim

The Republic's doctrine of manifest destiny led to the colonization of the Outer Rim Territories.

Culturally, Coruscanti fashion, art, drama and literature saw receptive audiences across the galaxy. Seeking to impress visitors from the Core, many worlds sought to build lavish mansions that imitated the architectural style of the Inner Core. Despite this, many Coruscanti looked with disdain on what was in reality nothing more than a gaudy impersonation. To them, these lifeforms on the galaxy's fringes appeared barbaric, with most worlds still lacking weather control or struggling with geological disturbances and food shortages. Additionally, many outlying worlds, lacking the protection of a federal military found themselves continually harassed by numerous pirates and criminal organizations, further ingraining the long-held view that those from the galaxy's outlying settlements lacked cultural refinement and basic civility.[6]

A deep-rooted hatred and distrust grew over the centuries between the galaxy's outer fringes and the cosmopolitan Core, with those in the hinterlands gradually coming to believe themselves the victims of social and economic injustices. As a result of the perceived inability of the Judicial Forces in protecting outlying territories, who were often withheld in intervening after many far-flung worlds refused to provide the Core Worlds with profitable deals, the Outer Rim world of Eriadu—one of the most politically, culturally and economically developed worlds—formed the Outland Regions Security Force for the protection of the Seswenna sector. Comprising an amalgam of ships, it was funded primarily by off-world loans and supplied with laser and ion cannons acquired from arms merchants who had for centuries been ignoring a Republic ban on the sale of weaponry to member worlds. While the Outland Regions Security Force at first lacked success, it soon came to be renowned for its efficiency at dealing with raiders, especially after Wilhuff Tarkin was accepted into Outland's anti-piracy task force, in which he was known for outsmarting and outmaneuvering his opponents.[6]

Galactic Senate

The Galactic Senate was mired in political corruption during the Republic's final years.

Yet despite Outland's best efforts, the Outer Rim Territories continued to fall victim to increasing corporate interests from the Core, with the monolithic Trade Federation expanding its reach a year before the Invasion of Naboo in both the Outer Rim and the Galactic Senate by utilizing loopholes in existing free-trade legislation. Shortly before the Invasion of Naboo, a trade summit was held on the Outer Rim planet of Eriadu in which Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum was turned away by Wilhuff Tarkin, who was hoping to reduce the influence of the Chancellor who some already expected to lose the next election in order to support Senator Sheev Palpatine, who had earlier helped Tarkin gain entrance into the Judicial Academy and supported his ascension as Governor of Eriadu.[6]

Invasion of Naboo[]

"It is clear to me now that the Republic no longer functions. I pray you will bring sanity and compassion back to the Senate."
―Padmé Amidala, to Sheev Palpatine[10]
Sith Lords Trade Federation

The Sith orchestrated the Invasion of Naboo by controlling the leaders of the Trade Federation.

Despite the best efforts of the well-meaning Chancellor Valorum,[80] the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo over disputes about plasma exports. A Judicial force carried Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi to the Saak'ak, a Trade Federation Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 cargo freighter to discuss a peaceful resolution to the conflict.[6] Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith, ordered Viceroy Nute Gunray to invade Naboo ahead of schedule, and to kill the Chancellor's Jedi ambassadors. Theed, the capital city of Naboo, was swiftly occupied by the Trade Federation Droid Army. The Jedi, having survived the Federation's efforts to kill them, escaped to Naboo where they rescued Queen Padmé Amidala and her entourage.[10]

Amidala undertook a journey to Coruscant to plead her homeworld's case to the Senate, but the damage to the Naboo Royal Starship's T-14 hyperdrive generator necessitated a detour to the remote world of Tatooine for repairs. Acting on Gunray's report, Sidious instructed his Sith apprentice, Darth Maul, to locate and reacquire the queen as only she had the authority to sign a treaty making the Federation's occupation of Naboo legal. Although Maul tracked them to Tatooine, he failed to prevent the Jedi from escaping with Amidala on her repaired starship. In addition, Jinn took custody of an emancipated slave child, Anakin Skywalker, whom he found to be exceptionally strong with the Force. Believing that he had found the prophesied Chosen One, Jinn brought Skywalker to Coruscant to begin his Jedi training.[10]

Amidalabeforesenate

Queen Amidala's Vote of No Confidence was instrumental in Senator Sheev Palpatine's rise to power.

Senator Palpatine and Chancellor Valorum greeted Amidala upon her arrival to the capital. Though Valorum assured her of the Senate's distress over the situation, Palpatine warned her that neither the Senate nor the Chancellor were likely to intervene unless they made a change in leadership. As Naboo's galactic representative, Palpatine served as Amidala's advisor and confidant. He told her that the Senate was corrupt, and the Chancellor a figurehead to the bureaucrats. When the Trade Federation's delegates forced Valorum to adhere to bureaucratic procedure, Amidala countered by calling for a Vote of No Confidence in him, following Palpatine's advice despite her initial reluctance to denounce a strong supporter of her world.[10]

Believing the Republic no longer adhered to its founding principles, Amidala returned to her planet to liberate the people of Naboo without the Senate's intervention. Before leaving Coruscant, Palpatine informed her of his nomination to succeed Valorum. His competitors were Senator Bail Antilles of Alderaan and Senator Ainlee Teem of Malastare, but Palpatine assured Amidala that he would win the election through widespread sympathy for Naboo's plight. He vowed to dedicate his term to ending corruption, and Amidala implored him to restore compassion to the Senate.[10]

Naboo celebration

The victors of the Battle of Naboo celebrated their triumph in the liberated city of Theed.

Unable to count on Republic aid, Amidala turned to Naboo's Gungan population. Despite ill feelings between their segregated societies, the occupation of their shared homeworld allowed Amidala to mend their relationship through diplomacy. The Gungan Grand Army confronted the Trade Federation's battle droids while the Naboo Royal Space Fighter Corps launched an attack on the Saak'ak in orbit. The Gungans were forced to surrender after their defenses collapsed, and several Naboo Fighter Pilots were killed in the space battle. However, Amidala's team infiltrated the Theed Royal Palace where they captured Gunray, and with the Saak'ak destroyed by Skywalker, the droids were deactivated. In the aftermath of the Battle of Naboo, Gunray was taken into Republic custody and the newly-elected Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine arrived in Theed where he and the queen congratulated each other on their recent success. The new Chancellor said that they would work together bringing peace and prosperity to the Republic.[10]

Separatist Crisis[]

"I will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years be split in two. My negotiations will not fail."
"If they do, you must realize that there aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic. We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers."
―Sheev Palpatine and Mace Windu[9]
2000 Senators propaganda

The Separatist Crisis reflected widespread disillusionment with the Republic.

Following the Naboo Crisis, the Trade Federation monopoly on the Outer Rim was broken, all while Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum's political standing suffered from the crisis along with other scandals. In his wake, Palpatine was appointed to the position of Supreme Chancellor, eventually creating an image of himself as a mild-mannered servant of the common good, despite his true intentions. However, growing tensions between the Core and Outer Rim worlds gradually increased to the point where many believed that a war was imminent.[6] Foreseeing this conflict years before the Invasion of Naboo, Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas advocated for the creation of a new Republic army, only to be rejected by the Jedi High Council, who believed his ideas too extreme. Undeterred, Sifo-Dyas contacted the Kaminoans, known for their clone hatcheries, and secretly commissioned them to create a clone army, pretending to represent the Galactic Senate. Unbeknownst to Sifo-Dyas, Darth Sidious had earlier contacted Prime Minister Lama Su, and convinced him to implant a behavioral modification biochip into the clones during the third stage of their development to turn against the Jedi at a mere command.[81]

TalesfromtheRancorPit-Dooku

The former Jedi Master Dooku led the Separatist movement against the Republic.

The dashing swordsman and political idealist Jedi Master Count Dooku, taking an eight-year leave of absence from the Jedi Order and now secretly the apprentice of Darth Sidious and dubbed Darth Tyranus,[9] paid the Pyke Syndicate to eliminate Sifo-Dyas over the planet of Oba Diah. With Sifo-Dyas originally heading to the planet in order to negotiate a dispute that could have resulted in a full-scale gang war on Coruscant, Sifo-Dyas was suddenly re-assigned to Felucia when his shuttle was abruptly shot down over the planet. Bringing his body to Felucia, where it was cremated by tribal inhabitants, Dooku managed to trick the Jedi Council into believing Sifo-Dyas had been killed by the Felucians,[81] all while erasing the existence of Kamino from the Jedi Archives.[9]

In the decade after the Invasion of Naboo, the whereabouts of Count Dooku were scarcely known, with many believing he merely wished to form an offshoot of the Jedi Order. In reality, Dooku manipulated galactic events to foment political turmoil on a variety of worlds, including Kashyyyk, Sullust, and Onderon. Seeking to create a southern Separatist sphere of influence by bringing Yag'Dhul and Sluis Van to his side, Dooku needed to persuade the now prosperous world of Eriadu to join the Separatists. However, Wilhuff Tarkin was pressured to declare his loyalties especially after Dooku commandeered a HoloNet station in the Raxus system and denounced the Galactic Republic, effectively setting the stage for the Separatist Crisis. Tarkin ultimately sided with the Galactic Republic in his stern belief that an inefficient yet unified galaxy was better than a fractured one.[6]

JarJarDestroysTheRepublic-AotC

The Senate granted the chancellor emergency powers at the behest of Representative Jar Jar Binks.

Chancellor Palpatine's negotiations with the Separatists were unsuccessful, leading the Galactic Senate to consider the Military Creation Act. Senator Amidala led the opposition against the bill, believing it would make war between the Republic and the Separatists inevitable. Following an assassination attempt on Amidala, the chancellor ordered her to return to Naboo while the Jedi investigated the plot against her. Junior Representative Jar Jar Binks assumed her responsibilities on Coruscant for the duration of Amidala's absence. The Jedi's subsequent discovery of two secret armies, the clones and the battle droids, influenced the Senate's next actions. The Loyalists agreed that the Republic needed the clone army, yet they felt that the Senate would fail to pass the Military Creation Act before the Separatists' attacked the Republic with their droid forces. When Vice Chair Mas Amedda suggested that they resolve the crisis by bestowing emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine, Representative Binks proposed as much to the Senate who passed his bill, allowing Palpatine to officially recognize the clone army as the Grand Army of the Republic. A self-proclaimed proponent of democracy and Republic patriot, Palpatine assured the senators that he intended to return the powers that they had given him after the crisis was over.[9]

The Clone Wars[]

"I have to admit that without the clones it would not have been a victory."
"Victory? Victory, you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun, the Clone War has."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda[9]
Clone Army Charge

The Battle of Geonosis was the first battle in the Clone Wars.

The Clone Wars began with the First Battle of Geonosis. Supported by the Republic Navy, the Grand Army of the Republic engaged the Separatist Droid Army in the open field. The Jedi joined the battle as well,[9] acting as de facto generals for the clone troopers.[82] Meanwhile, Poggle the Lesser's schematics for the Ultimate Weapon were transferred to Dooku who escaped the battle after dueling Skywalker, Kenobi, and Grand Master Yoda. Simultaneously, the various members of the newly-founded Confederacy of Independent Systems evacuated the planet as Republic clone troopers gradually forced the droid army into full retreat. The battle was hailed as a Republic victory, although Yoda took the opposite position as he knew that war would spread across the galaxy. Count Dooku traveled to an industrial sector on Coruscant to inform his master that the war had begun as planned, all while the Jedi High Council pondered Dooku's warning that the Dark Lord of the Sith controlled the Senate.[9]

Fisto and Skywalker team up

With the galaxy in a state of war, the Jedi became generals in the Grand Army of the Republic.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Geonosis, the deadly three-year conflict that engulfed the galaxy in chaos officially began.[25] Though suspicious of Dooku's claim that the Senate was under the Sith's influence,[9] the Jedi continued to serve the Republic. The military rank of Jedi General was created,[83] allowing the Jedi to lead the Grand Army of the Republic in an official capacity.[25] The worlds that were caught in the middle of the conflict were forced to choose sides between the Galactic Republic and its clone army or the ever-expanding Confederacy of Independent Systems and its droid army. With the war well under way, numerous diplomatic envoys engaged in several attempts to sway local worlds to join the Galactic Republic, with Jedi Master Yoda seeking to win the support of the Toydarian King Katuunko, while Sith assassin Asajj Ventress sought to disrupt the meeting, and instead sought to win the support of the king to join the Confederacy.[84]

The Republic also sent military aid and support to factions in need, such as Cham Syndulla's Twi'lek Resistance on Ryloth,[85] or to the Dugs of Malastare, whose lucrative fuel reserves were a great boon to the Republic Navy.[86] Numerous worlds such as Mandalore also attempted to maintain their neutrality, although they often were forced to seek aid from third parties in times of need.[9][32]

Throughout the Clone Wars, numerous attempts were made against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's life, including an kidnapping attempt on Naboo masterminded by Count Dooku[87] as well as the hostage taking of members of the Galactic Senate by notorious bounty hunter Cad Bane.[88] However, political intrigue fueled not only the conflict, but also advances in weaponry and the development of equipment to enhance existing armed forces. Attempts at biological weapons were launched by Separatist scientist Nuvo Vindi, who attempted to re-create the ancient Blue Shadow Virus capable of killing millions across the galaxy,[89] while the Republic developed the experimental electro-proton bomb, which could send out an electric pulse upon detonation capable of deactivating an entire droid army.[86]

ZilloBeastBreaksFree-ZBSB

The Republic transported a Zillo Beast to Coruscant after the Battle of Malastare.

Following the Battle of Malastare, the Republic also attempted to create an impenetrable armor by unlocking the biological secrets of the Zillo Beast, an ancient creature from the Mid Rim, only to have the attempt end in failure, sending the beast on a rampage across Coruscant. After its death at the hands of a Jedi task force, the beast was secretly cloned by orders from the Supreme Chancellor himself.[90] In the meantime, the Republic developed a stealth ship capable of cloaking itself, as well as upgrading its standard Phase I clone trooper armor to the more sophisticated Phase II clone trooper armor prior to the Battle of Mon Cala.[91]

Hostage-SWL

Republic clone troopers were the military arm of the Galactic Senate.

The Republic adopted the clone army to defeat the Separatists, but the clone troopers were also at the disposal of the Senate. The Coruscant Guard was formed by clone shock troopers stationed on the Republic capital;[92] senatorial delegates were accompanied by clone bodyguards;[87] and the clones became involved in the Republic's internal disputes by acting as enforcers of the Senate.[93] The Senate Guard still accompanied dignitaries on off-world missions,[94] but as the war continued the Coruscant Guard became increasingly responsible for the security of the Supreme Chancellor[87] and the delegates of the Senate.[5]

On one occasion, the Republic deployed a Jedi-led force of clone troopers to Orto Plutonia at the behest of one of its members, the Pantoran Assembly. The government of Pantora claimed sovereignty over the planet, which resulted in open conflict between the Pantorans and the native Talz. Although the clones served under the Jedi, they were also beholden to the authority of the Pantoran leader, Chairman Chi Cho, and the Pantoran senator Riyo Chuchi.[93]

Fall of the Republic[]

"So this is how liberty dies…with thunderous applause."
―Padmé Amidala, on the end of the Galactic Republic — (audio) Listen (file info)[2]
TempleSmoke-Sabotage

The Jedi Temple was the site of a terrorist attack against the Order.

The Grand Army of the Republic was led by Jedi Generals throughout the Clone Wars.[25] While many heroic actions were taken by the Jedi and the troopers under their command, inspiring the public with stories of bravery, war weariness only continued to grow as the years went by.[79] The Republic citizenry grew to believe that the Jedi had abandoned their role as peacekeepers,[95] and staged massive protests outside of the Jedi Temple as a result. Despite their waning influence in the galaxy, the Jedi continued to lead the Republic's forces but sustained many casualties in the process. Their role in the conflict was opposed not only by civilians,[96] but also the Republic officer Wilhuff Tarkin who wanted to revoke the Order's military authority, convinced that the Jedi Code was a hindrance on the Republic war effort.[97]

Padawan Barriss Offee also disagreed with the Order's involvement in the Clone Wars, and staged a bombing in the Jedi Temple as protest, all while framing Ahsoka Tano of committing the act before being captured herself.[98] The Separatist Shadowfeed operation, an attempt by Count Dooku to spread information on Republic defeats, making it appear as though a Separatist victory was inevitable, fueled public anxiety and consequently accelerated the militarization of the Republic over the course of the war.[6]

PalpatineRedGuard-TWJ

Chancellor Palpatine's wartime powers made him a dictator in all but name.

The war also served as a means for Sheev Palpatine to amass more emergency powers, cementing his position as Supreme Chancellor far longer than it technically allowed, all while continuing to centralize political and military authority within the Office of the Chancellor, which included putting the InterGalactic Banking Clan under the Chancellor's oversight.[5] By gaining wartime powers, Chancellor Palpatine was effectively a dictator.[99]

Palpatine used the war as his reasoning for amending the Galactic Constitution multiple times, enshrining greater power in his office through his changes.[100] He became the most powerful chancellor since before the Ruusan Reformations. Under the Reflex Amendment, he secured near-total power over the military.[101] The Sector Governance Decree, passed towards the end of the war, gave governors sent out by Palpatine authority over neighboring star systems, all in the name of the war effort.[102]

Battle of Utapau

The Republic invaded Utapau with the goal of bringing a decisive end to the Clone Wars.

After nearly three years of constant warfare, the war reached its climax during the Battle of Coruscant, where both factions engaged in a massive naval and ground battle over the Republic's capital world. The confrontation ultimately saw the Republic dealing a severe blow to the Confederacy with the loss of a portion of its fleet as well as its head of state, Count Dooku, at the hands of Anakin Skywalker. Shortly afterwards, General Grievous met his end at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Battle of Utapau. Yet even as the Republic pressed on with the Outer Rim Sieges, determined to bring an end to the civil war, the Jedi High Council had grown increasingly wary of Palpatine.[2]

Over the course of the Clone Wars, the Chancellor's wartime authority reached unprecedented levels at the expense of the Senate, some of whom also grew concerned for the future of the Republic. As such, members of the Council and the Senate began to consider their options for the preservation of democracy.[2] The Delegation of 2,000 emerged and sought to petition the Chancellor to relinquish his emergency powers,[103] whereas the Council contemplated the possibility of removing him by force and taking over the Senate in order to secure a peaceful transition of power.[2]

Execute Order 66

Palpatine was the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, whose machinations brought about the fall of the Jedi and the Republic.

Ultimately, their suspicion of the Chancellor was vindicated when Skywalker uncovered the truth: Sheev Palpatine and Darth Sidious, the Sith mastermind behind the Clone Wars, were one and the same. Realizing they had been deceived by the Chancellor, the Council attempted to arrest the Sith Lord before his plan could come to fruition, consequently leading to a lightsaber duel in which Sidious struck down Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin, and Kit Fisto before Mace Windu disarmed him. Given the Chancellor's control over the Senate and the courts, Windu deemed Sidious too dangerous to live. However, Skywalker, despite having performed an execution himself, argued that execution was contrary to the Jedi way, though his personal attachment to Amidala also influenced him at this critical point as he believed that Sidious could save her life.[2]

In a moment of desperation, Skywalker disarmed Windu, which allowed Sidious to kill the Jedi Order's champion with a torrent of Force lightning. Having chosen the path of the dark side, the fallen Jedi Knight became Darth Vader and subsequently led the attack on the Jedi Temple while Sidious issued Order 66 to the Grand Army, causing the clone troopers being brainwashed into betraying and executing their Jedi leaders across the galaxy.[2]

Declaration2

With the Jedi eliminated, Sidious declared himself Emperor of the Galactic Empire.

The Senate held an emergency session at the Chancellor's request. Sidious publicly denounced the Jedi Order; he accused them of plotting to assassinate him in order to take control of the Senate, and by extension, the Republic. Meanwhile, Vader undertook a mission to Mustafar where he personally executed the Separatist Council, at the behest of Sidious who betrayed and no longer needed them. With the Great Jedi Purge in effect, and the Separatists neutralized, Sidious proclaimed himself Galactic Emperor. The Galactic Republic officially became the Galactic Empire,[2] and democracy was supplanted by the fascist New Order.[15] While many senators cheered and applauded the birth of the Empire, Amidala and Organa quietly lamented the Republic's end.[2]

Vader deactivated the droid army soon after killing the Separatist leaders on Mustafar. The Clone Wars was over, and its conclusion marked the dawn of the Imperial Era.[2]

Legacy[]

Empire and rebirth[]

"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen, with the dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi: trust in the Force. Do not return to the Temple. That time has passed, and our future is uncertain. Avoid Coruscant. Avoid detection. Be secret… but be strong. We will each be challenged: our trust, our faith, our friendships. But we must persevere and, in time, I believe a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you always."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi's warning in the recall signal[104]
Report Sedition

The Galactic Empire sought to erase all traces of the Galactic Republic.

In the decades after the dissolution of the Galactic Republic, numerous individuals still clung to the memory of the now Old Republic and its fabled Jedi warriors, while many individuals who knew the Jedi in person refused to believe the Emperor's account of a "Jedi Rebellion."[79][105] The Jedi Order that served the Republic would continue its legacy and endure during the Great Jedi Purge.[17] Having been freed from his control chip by former Jedi Ahsoka Tano during the skirmish aboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer Tribunal,[106] the former Clone Captain CT-7567 "Rex" resolved to fight for the Republic against the Empire, telling former Clone Sergeant Hunter that they were living proof that the Republic lived on.[107]

Nevertheless, a majority of galactic citizens eventually came to believe and actively support the pro-Imperial view, believing the Republic to have grown weak and corrupt, necessitating Palpatine's rise to power. In order to destroy the memory of the previous government, any visible reminder of the Old Republic was quickly removed, with many organizational changes altering the names of various locales and institutions, while architecture was molded to a more severe and dark aesthetic. With the renowned Galactic Senate being renamed the Imperial Senate and the Senate Plaza renamed Imperial Plaza and a giant statue of the Emperor erected in it, one could almost forget the Republic even existed.[6]

However, the memory of the Republic as a force of freedom and justice could never be fully destroyed as long as those who still believed in it lived, thus spurring numerous resistance movements throughout the Empire's reign such as the Free Ryloth Movement[108] and Berch Teller's rebel cell.[6] These displays of resistance eventually coalesced into the Alliance to Restore the Republic prior to the Battle of Yavin, where the Death Star was destroyed.[18] Subsequent battles included the Battle of Endor which saw the destruction of the second Death Star and the deaths of Sidious and Vader, the latter redeeming himself as Anakin Skywalker.[109] In the aftermath of their victory at Endor, the Alliance declared itself the New Republic as an ode to the Old Republic.[17]

A New Dawn-SWP

After the Emperor's death, the Rebel Alliance was reformed into the New Republic.

However, the New Republic disavowed some aspects of the Old Republic, particularly the legacy of its final years under the chancellery of Sheev Palpatine.[110] The word "Supreme" was removed from the title of Chancellor; Coruscant was stripped of its traditional role as the galactic capital, allowing other worlds to host the restored Galactic Senate on a rotating cycle; and the Military Disarmament Act reduced the New Republic Defense Force in the aftermath of the Galactic Civil War. Such efforts succeeded in convincing former Separatist worlds to support the New Republic,[111] but also led to political partisanship in the Senate where Populists favored the sovereignty of member worlds while Centrists lobbied to increase the central government's power and military spending.[110] Ultimately, the Centrist worlds seceded from the New Republic and joined the First Order,[112] a successor to the Galactic Empire,[113] resulting in the Cold War between the two galactic powers.[112]

The story of Old Republic Regent Hylemane Lightbringer and his supposed immortality would be remembered in history texts along with Old Republic music such as the Sestina of Imperator Vex, which would continue to be sung even in the months following the Battle of Endor.[17]

Posterity's judgment[]

"Before the outbreak of war, the twilight of the Republic was an era of distractions, with citizens from all walks of life following escapist pursuits. Historians rebuke the people of this last age for being taken in by such circuses when their attentions should have been focused on the malfeasances and corruption in the Senate and other governing institutions."
―Janyor[15]
Coruscant wealthy

Historians rebuked the generation that witnessed the Republic's downfall, holding the people of this last era of peace responsible for the death of liberty.

Hailed as one of the greatest political achievements in the galaxy's history,[25] the Galactic Republic was described by the historian Janyor as "the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time." Although other versions existed in the ancient past, collectively known as the "Old Republic," posterity credited the modern Republic for delivering the galaxy from an age of darkness and, with the help of the Jedi Order, forging an era of peace that lasted for a thousand years until the advent of the Clone Wars. Historians romanticized the Age of the Republic, calling it the "last era of peace"—notwithstanding isolated conflicts, which were notably few and swiftly resolved by Jedi mediators—before the rise of vast warships and planet-killing superweapons.[15]

The Republic in its final years, however, was remembered with less fondness. Historians regarded the people of that time as a generation of apathy and indolence, in which galactic senators cared more about power and luxury than representing their constituents or addressing the perceived inefficiencies of the government. The civilian population was also seen as a contributing factor to the Republic's demise, with Core Worlders being more invested in podracing events in the distant Outer Rim Territories than the politics that caused dissatisfaction to fester and grow into the Separatist Crisis. Ultimately, historians rebuked this generation and held it responsible for the collapse of the "comfortable civilization" that defined the modern Galactic Republic.[15]

Organization[]

Politics[]

"It's been my experience that senators are only focused on pleasing those who fund their campaigns—and they are more than willing to forget the niceties of democracy to get those funds."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi[9]
Parade

The Supreme Chancellor was the elected leader of the Galactic Senate.

The institutions of the Galactic Republic consisted of the Office of the Chancellor, the Galactic Senate, and the Judicial Department. Executive power was vested in the Supreme Chancellor, although this office was largely powerless and hampered by bureaucratic procedure, particularly during the chancellery of Finis Valorum. Nevertheless, the Chancellor had the authority to issue executive orders summoning the Senate to an emergency session[10] or sending senators away from Coruscant for security reasons.[9]

The chancellery of Sheev Palpatine shifted the balance of power in favor of the Chancellor's office, a consequence of the wartime powers that the Senate gave its leader on the eve of the Clone Wars.[9] As the conflict spread across the galaxy, Palpatine's chancellery gradually morphed into a dictatorship[99] with control over both the Senate and the Republic courts. Near the war's end, Palpatine appointed Anakin Skywalker as his own personal representative on the Jedi High Council, which the Jedi considered an overreaching exercise of the Chancellor's authority. By then, Palpatine had managed to remain in power by exceeding the term limits of his office, an action that the Senate supported.[2]

Reduced Military Spending Bill

The Galactic Senate was the governing body of the Republic.

Prior to Palpatine's rise to power, the Galactic Senate was the legislative body of the Republic. Many member worlds across the galaxy were represented in the Senate which was headquartered on Coruscant, capital of the Republic.[114] At it height, the Senate's power eclipsed that of the Supreme Chancellor[10] but it had also become stagnant under unbridled corruption and layers of bureaucracy.[114] As more politicians grew enamored with the comforts of their office, prioritizing power and wealth over their constituents' needs, average citizens questioned if the Republic and its high taxes were worth the membership.[15] The Jedi had also grown distrustful towards senators and regarded their motives with skepticism,[9] notwithstanding the Order's allegiance to the Senate as a whole.[2]

Onacondafarrdead

Conflicting ideologies led to factionalism, intrigue and murder in the Senate.

With the Senate hamstrung by political infighting and a strict adherence to protocol, it failed to bring swift resolutions to either the Invasion of Naboo[10] or the Separatist Crisis.[9] In lieu of a diplomatic solution, the Senate rallied under Chancellor Palpatine's leadership. However, the decision to grant him emergency powers eroded their authority, allowing Palpatine to amass even more power at the expense of the Senate. At the time of the Clone Wars, the Senate was divided between supporters of the war effort and pacifists who sought a peaceful end to the fighting.[114]

The Judicial Department was an umbrella department over the Republic courts, including the Supreme Court, the highest court of law in the Republic.[8] Its authority also extended over the Judicial Forces[6] and the Republic Office of Criminal Investigations.[8] Like its legislative counterpart, however, the courts were mired by a stagnant bureaucracy and was known to be even more indecisive than the Senate.[10] Despite the arrest of Nute Gunray, multiple trials in the Supreme Court failed to remove him as leader of the Trade Federation to the dismay of the Naboo government.[9]

Unite

Clone troopers were used as tools of political propaganda during the Clone Wars.

Propaganda in the Galactic Republic had long served to sway public opinion in favor of Republic policies, from expanding into the Outer Rim Territories, to waging a pan-galactic war against the Separatists. One such propaganda tool was the Commission for the Protection of the Republic (COMPOR). Formed in the early days of the Clone Wars, COMPOR existed as a pro-Republic populist movement. As such, the organization's mission was twofold: to promote patriotism in the Republic, and to brand the Separatists as traitors. This goal was achieved through the artwork of Donclode Onstruss, Hamma Elad, and other artists associated with COMPOR.[15]

Throughout the conflict, COMPOR propagandists sought to sustain the war effort by keeping public opinion on the side of the Republic's military forces and their commander-in-chief, respectively the clone army and Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. Following an early attempt to utilize the Jedi Order as a propaganda tool, COMPOR focused increasingly on the Grand Army of the Republic, portraying clone troopers as a symbol of unity that the citizenry was encouraged to support. In regard to the Separatists, COMPOR depicted their leaders as icons of "evil," specifically General Grievous and Count Dooku. Using loyalty to the Republic and fear of the Separatists, COMPOR lobbied the Galactic Senate to give more emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine whom they supported as a wartime leader.[15]

The Galactic Republic also founded[115] the Apprentice Legislature,[116] also known as the Junior Senate,[117] for politically minded youth[115] who wished for a future career in politics. The Apprentice Legislature were given several real issues to deal with but were minor and weren't security issues.[116] Padmé Amidala, the last Republic senator of Naboo, was an Apprentice Legislator at eight years old.[115] The Apprentice Legislature would also exist under the Republic's successor, the Galactic Empire, though by 3 BBY[118] only forty worlds still sent representatives to the Legislature.[116]

Political divisions[]

"The chair recognizes the senator from the sovereign system of Naboo."
―Finis Valorum[10]
Palpatine on balcony

The countless worlds of the Galactic Republic were allowed to retain their individual sovereignty, to which they shared with the Galactic Republic.

All political entities in the Galactic Republic were fully sovereign, and thereby shared in the privileges and obligations that came with being part of the Republic. Corporations and guilds were also allowed to join the Republic, who all sent democratically elected representatives on behalf of their governments or trade groups from across the galaxy, to the Galactic Senate.[10]

A series of treaties between various entities which governed the existence of the Republic Defense Coalition during the High Republic Era. They included defense provisions which required Republic members, such as Chandrila and Alderaan to loan military assets such as starships and personnel for as long as they were needed, after which they were returned to their homeworlds.[28]

As one of the consequences of the Military Creation Act, the Corellia system, one of the founding systems of the Galactic Republic, was able to close its borders, but without withdrawing from the Republic during the Separatist Crisis.[119]

Foreign policy[]

"If we are successful, you'll have Maul and I'll have Mandalore."
"If Republic forces aid you in your assault, it will break treaties that are a hundred years old. We will effectively be drawn into yet another war."
―Bo-Katan Kryze and Obi-Wan Kenobi[120]
Republic cruisers Open-Closed

The Republic intervened in the internal conflict of an independent world, believing Carnelion IV possessed valuable resources.

The Senate did not intervene in the Open-Closed war on Carnelion IV because the planet was not part of the Galactic Republic. Carnelion IV did not join the Republic because the Senate had little economic interests in the planet.[121] The Republic's diplomatic fleet subsequently forced a ceasefire to the Open-Closed war after Kenobi claimed that the planet had high concentrations of tibanna gas in its atmosphere in order to bring an end to the long-running conflict.[122]

During the Clone Wars, the Republic tolerated the political stance of neutral governments, among which were the New Mandalorians.[32] Their leader, Duchess Satine Kryze, was a staunch pacifist who sought to keep her homeworld and it allies out of the conflict through her capacity as head of the Council of Neutral Systems.[123] The Republic and Mandalore coexisted through treaties over a century old by the time of the Clone Wars,[120] though by then the Senate sanctioned a plan to invade the planet Mandalore, having grown to believe that Kryze's pacifist government could not protect the Mandalorian people from the Death Watch movement. However, the invasion was called off due to evidence that the Senate's pretext for war—the testimony of Deputy Minister Jerec—had been falsified.[124]

Peace conference

The neutral world of Mandalore hosted a failed peace conference between the Republic and the Separatists.

Mandalore was the site of attempted peace talks between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, with Duchess Satine overseeing the conference. Both governments dispatched their delegates to the neutral world in addition to Republic Senate Commandos and Separatist BX-series droid commandos. Negotiations broke down, however, allowing the war to continue without interruption.[94]

During the war, although Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine claimed that the Republic was willing to assist a neutral star system during their times of crisis,[125] the Senate[126] and the Republic as a whole[120] almost always declined aid,[126] particularly military aid, to neutral governments as a matter of policy.[120] If a government broke its neutrality by siding with the Separatist Alliance, it risked becoming an enemy of the Republic. When the InterGalactic Banking Clan began favoring the Separatists at the Republic's expense, the Republic retaliated by deploying an invasion force to occupy the planet Scipio.[5]

Despite Mandalore's neutrality, Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan Kryze requested the Grand Army's support to depose the Shadow Collective that supplanted Satine Kryze's regime. Although the Jedi were concerned about getting drawn into the Mandalorian civil war while in the midst of the ongoing Clone Wars, especially when the world in question was still officially neutral, they permitted a division of the 501st Legion to support the Mandalore resistance in the Siege of Mandalore.[120]

During the Clone Wars, the Republic made indirect contact with the Chiss Ascendancy through Jedi General Anakin Skywalker's encounter with Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo "Thrawn," an officer of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet. Thrawn had been tasked with exploring the Outer Rim by the time the Ascendancy, having discovered a mysterious threat in the Unknown Regions, sought to assess the Galactic Republic as a potential ally. Thrawn gathered intelligence on the Clone Wars through his interaction with Skywalker, who, in turn, recruited the Chiss officer's help with rescuing Senator Padmé Amidala. Skywalker was impressed by Thrawn during their time working together, which he later reported to Chancellor Palpatine. Thrawn was unimpressed by the Republic, however, believing democracy to be an inefficient form of government.[127]

Defense[]

Republic Defense Coalition[]

HetzalSystem

The Republic Defense Coalition was an interplanetary alliance between the Republic's member worlds.

The Republic Defense Coalition, also known as the RDC, was organized as a small peacekeeping fleet that defended the Galactic Republic's interests during the High Republic Era. The RDC was bound together as an organization through defense treaties signed by the Republic's member worlds, including Alderaan and Chandrila. The treaties that created the RDC gave it the ability to allocate starships and personnel from the signatory worlds in times of emergency. These resources would remain under the RDC's control until the threat was neutralized, after which they would be returned to their homeworlds.[28] The Republic also maintained formations of Republic peacekeeping troops, who were deployed to quell conflicts in Republic territory.[66]

The fleet consisted of several starship types, such as Emissary-class cruisers, Pacifier-class sector patrol cruisers, Longbeam cruisers, and Z-28 Skywing starfighters. Despite the existence of the RDC, the Republic was at the height of an era of peace that had lasted for centuries, with neither the Hutts nor the Mandalorians posing a threat. As a result, the Emissary-class resembled a work of art, its crenellations and spires designed to be symbolic of the Republic in a state of tranquility. The RDC operated alongside the Jedi Order as well, allowing the peacekeepers to store their personalized starfighters, the Jedi Vectors, in the hangars of its Emissary-class cruisers.[28] The Republic rescue fleet was also maintained at the time of the High Republic.[74]

Judicial Forces[]

"The Judicials are at the end of their tenure, in any case, as the Jedi seem to have become the Senate's arbiters of choice."
―Sheev Palpatine, to Wilhuff Tarkin[6]
Williams and Madakor

Judicials were non-Jedi peace officers of the Republic.

The Judicial Forces were the armed peacekeeping forces of the Galactic Republic Judicial Department.[6] While the Jedi helped to maintain order and peace under the authority of the Galactic Senate, they were not considered a standing military.[121] As officers of the government, Judicials had access to Consular-class space cruisers.[10] The distinctive design and color of Republic cruisers identified them as diplomatic vessels,[128] often used by delegates of the Galactic Senate, agents of the Supreme Chancellor, or members of the Jedi Order.[129]

In the last decades of the Republic, the Jedi effectively supplanted the Judicial Forces as arbiters of the Senate.[6] Judicials therefore acted in a supporting capacity, escorting Jedi ambassadors on their offworld missions.[10]

Republic Military[]

"As my first act with this new authority, I will create a Grand Army of the Republic to counter the increasing threats of the Separatists."
―Sheev Palpatine[9]
Grand army formation

The Grand Army of the Republic was composed of clone troopers.

Towards the end of the Separatist Crisis, the Galactic Senate passed the Military Creation Act, which led to the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Republic Navy.[8] Outfitted with armor weapons and gear,[130] clone troopers were the backbone of the Republic Military. Bred for loyalty and combat, clones symbolized the future of galactic warfare at the time of the Clone Wars, the conflict that derived its name from their ranks. The training that they experienced molded the clone troopers into a highly efficient army,[131] and because they retained the ability to think creatively despite their stunted independence,[9] they were considered far superior to their droid counterparts. In their first battle against the Separatist Droid Army, the Grand Army displayed a level of military strength unseen in the history of the galaxy.[131]

Jedi Generals Geonosis

Clone troopers served under the command of Jedi Generals.

Clones were, by and large, proud to serve as soldiers of the Galactic Republic. Although a minority committed treasonous acts such as desertion or espionage for the Separatists, most were steadfast in their allegiance and many troopers sacrificed themselves for the Republic. They were loyal to the Supreme Chancellor, but also the Jedi who served as generals in the Grand Army of the Republic.[131] A strong sense of trust developed between Jedi generals and clone commanders over the long campaigns of the Clone Wars.[25]

There were several types of clone soldiers that stood as a breed apart from their rank-and-file brethren. The Advanced Recon Commandos, for example, were noted for their elite status and capacity for independent thinking. Another specialized class was the clone commando—elite operatives trained for missions too complex for other soldiers.[130]

Anaxes Republic Navy

The Republic Navy utilized Venator-class Star Destroyers as capital ships.

Along with the Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ship and other support vessels, the Venator-class Star Destroyer was the mainstay warship of the Republic Navy.[132] Part cargo transport and part troop carrier, the Venator was also developed for ship-to-ship combat. The Venator notably contained a large hangar for housing state-of the-art Republic starfighters.[133]

The Republic Navy fielded various ships over the course of the war.[2] Early models included the V-19 Torrent starfighter[132] and the Clone Z-95 Headhunter.[134] New fighters were added to the Navy in the final months of the war.[2] The Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter represented the latest design in starfighter technology,[135] while the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighters incorporated the design improvements of the ARC-170 an the earlier V-19.[136]

Jedi Order[]

"They have numbers on their side. And the faith of the Republic."
"For the moment. In time, and with careful planning, they will lose both."
―Darth Maul and Darth Sidious, on the Jedi Order[137]
DuelonCoruscant

The Jedi Order served the Galactic Republic as guardians of peace and justice.

The Galactic Republic placed its faith in the Jedi Order,[137] relying on Jedi Knights to safeguard peace and justice in the realm.[48] It was with the Order's aid that the Galactic Senate was able to govern the galaxy for a thousand years.[113] The Order's allegiance was to the Senate,[2] though by the final years of the Republic, the Jedi regarded politics with skepticism, believing politicians were untrustworthy. Nonetheless, the Order maintained a close relationship with the Republic to uphold their mandate as keepers of the peace.[9]

The Order could identify Force-sensitives shortly after their birth, as long as they were born within the Republic.[10] Offering a Force-sensitive child to the Order was considered a great honor by the majority of the Republic's population, as well as a personal sacrifice.[25] The Order became the true family of every child brought into its ranks,[138] and Jedi doctrine did not permit them to know their birth families. Therefore, familial attachment was surrendered in service to the Order.[25]

Burning of the Temple

With the fall of the Jedi Order, the Galactic Republic was transformed into the Galactic Empire.

While the Order numbered ten-thousand strong at the height of the Clone Wars,[139] their ranks were insufficient for the defense of the Republic. Therefore, the Jedi were compelled to lead the clone army[9] with the aim of bringing a swift and decisive end to the conflict between the Republic and the Separatists.[81] With no end to the war in sight, however, anti-war protests broke out on Coruscant where Republic citizens decried their leaders and the Jedi alike.[1] When the Clone Wars ended, Darth Sidious accused the Order of staging a rebellion to overthrow the Senate and their chancellor. The Senate supported the chancellor's actions, which included the purging of the Order followed by the Republic's reorganization into the Galactic Empire.[2]

Economy[]

"The Republic is near bankruptcy due to the cost of this war!"
―Bail Organa[140]

The Republic credit was the currency of the Galactic Republic. Beyond Republic space, however, credits had no value on frontier worlds like Tatooine.[10]

The Republic possessed immense economic power,[141] having maintained peace—with the aid of the Jedi Knights—throughout the known galaxy for almost a millennium. Peace, in turn, promoted commerce. Under the Republic's protection, Naboo and other culturally rich worlds were able to profit from lucrative tourism.[15]

CardDodSaam HoBS

Corporations possessed considerable influence in galactic politics during the era of the Republic.

The business sector experienced an exponential growth in wealth and influence through widespread commercialism, with massive corporations funneling substantial amounts of capital into advertising their essential services to the wider galaxy. This unbridled "brand-building" initiative generated steady profits for vast enterprises like the Trade Federation.[15]

The Republic's expansion into the Outer Rim Territories proved lucrative to both the galactic government and the private sector. Eleven Star Marketing, a subsidiary of the Trade Federation, worked closely with the Republic Ministry of Economic Development to propagandize the exploration and colonization of the Outer Rim, convincing the lower class citizens of the Inner Rim to see the galactic frontier as an opportunity for profit. This arrangement would entangle Republic politicians with corporate lobbyists, both of which profited from the flow of settlers who had to pay tariffs and registration fees in order to reach the Outer Rim through one of the Federation's hyperspace routes.[15]

Buy Republic War Bonds

The Republic filled its war chest by encouraging its citizens to buy war bonds.

The Separatist Crisis had a significant impact on the Republic economy, with major worlds, like Serenno, Raxus, and Onderon seceding from the pan-galactic union. As a result, the Republic lost access to the resources and tax revenue of the Separatist worlds. Diminished taxation revenue only compounded the Republic's debt, throwing the Senate into a crisis that ultimately led to open war between the Republic and the Separatist Alliance.[15]

The Clone Wars disrupted the galactic economy as the Senate exhausted its options to fund the Grand Army of the Republic while staving off bankruptcy.[140] The government urged its people to buy war bonds, using propaganda to convince the citizenry that it was their patriotic duty to give financial support to the war effort. In addition, the Republic sought to keep its war chest filled by imposing higher taxes on civilian skylanes, however unprecedented it was on cosmopolitan worlds like Coruscant.[15]

The Senate also weighed the need for additional clone troopers against the corresponding cost of growing supplemental units to replenish the Grand Army's ranks.[140] Funding the military had all but bankrupted the Republic treasury, which, in turn, shut down some of the basic services that the Republic had always provided for civilians who lived in the lower levels of Coruscant.[142]

Military enhancement bill

The Senate voted in favor of deregulating the banks in order to continue financing the Republic war effort.

The Republic imposed regulations on the banking industry prior to the Clone Wars, but the war's increasing cost led the Senate to consider deregulating the banks in order to access new lines of credit. After much debate, the Senate passed the Republic financial reform bill. The banks were deregulated, and the Republic submitted applications for further loans to support the production of more clone units.[140]

Following the Republic invasion of Scipio, the InterGalactic Banking Clan surrendered its financial assets to the office of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. As a result, the Republic gained direct control over one of the galaxy's most influential commerce guilds.[143]

Though the Clone Wars had exacted a heavy toll on the Republic treasury,[15] the Republic remained a powerful economic force in the galaxy.[141] The Separatist Alliance, while supported by the resources of corporate barons,[15] was eventually overwhelmed by the economic and military power of the Republic.[141]

Science and technology[]

"You know how hard it is to find all original parts from way back in the Galactic Republic?"
―Peli Motto, to Din Djarin[144]

The Galactic Republic invested in aesthetics and technological advancements for the starship industry. During the Republic's reign, starships were designed to be aesthetically pleasing in order to meet the customers' demand for "style and elegance" in their vessels. Craftsmanship, however, gave way to practicality as the Republic transitioned into the Galactic Empire, leading to the decline of sleek lines in favor of harsh uniformity, mass production, and sheer size.[25]

Youngcloneslearning

Millions of identical clones were bred to fight as soldiers of the Republic.

Cloning was a science in which an organism was "genetically duplicated into one or more identical copies." While neither the Senate nor the Jedi had any knowledge of the clone army's development prior to the Clone Wars, the Republic became heavily invested in the field of genetics throughout its conflict with the Separatists. The Kaminoans used their skills to transform the science of cloning into big business, resulting in the mass production of clone troopers who numbered in the millions. Their expertise all but perfected the art of genetic duplication. However, cloning humans was still a flawed science that occasionally produced aberrations. Nevertheless, the Kaminoans' cloning methods made it possible to alter clones at the genetic level, making them more docile and age twice as fast as natural-born humans.[25] They were also just as capable of engineering a clone for the purpose of pure genetic replication, giving it neither growth acceleration nor behavioral modification for greater docility.[9]

RotS Acclamators depart

The Clone Wars drove the Republic's technological advancement.

The Clone Wars gave the Republic an incentive to spearhead technological innovation in spacecraft and terrestrial transportation for military purposes. The result was a legacy with far-reaching effects in the industry of science and technology. The Star Destroyer, the most visible representative of modern military capital ships, originated with the development of the Republic Navy's Venator-class Star Destroyer. The X-wing starfighter evolved from the Z-95 Headhunter; the BTL Y-wing starfighter was developed during the Clone Wars, and was still considered relevant long after the Republic's time. The Republic developed all terrain walkers, including the six-legged All Terrain Tactical Enforcer, as a response to the Separatist Armored Assault Tank and other droid battle tanks. This in turn influenced the developmental design of far larger vehicles, such as the Imperial All Terrain Armored Transport and the First Order All Terrain MegaCaliber Six, than what the Republic fielded in the Clone Wars.[25]

Electro-proton explosion

The electro-proton bomb was capable of destroying an army of droids in a single attack.

The Republic employed brilliant scientists, such as Doctor Sionver Boll[145] and Doctor Nala Se,[146] who contributed their expertise to the war effort against the Separatists.[86][147] Boll developed the electro-proton bomb,[145] an experimental explosive device capable of generating a massive burst of electromagnetic pulse energy to disable battle droids and any other form of technology.[86] Nala Se was the foremost scientist in the field of cloning; she supervised the development of the Republic's clone army,[146] although Boll was also familiar with cloning as Chancellor Palpatine ordered her to clone a dead Zillo Beast.[90]

The Republic Special Weapons Group was formed to oversee the development of military technology more advanced than conventional weapons of warfare.[148] The group was composed of technologists like Wilhuff Tarkin and Orson Callan Krennic;[7] using the Geonosians' schematics for a moon-sized battle station, they began implementing plans to construct the ultimate weapon. Their work continued after the Republic fell, and after years of delay the DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station was made operational by the Empire. Both its size and power inspired the creation of more advanced weapons with the capacity to destroy planets, from the Imperial DS-2 Death Star II Mobile Battle Station to the First Order's Starkiller Base and the axial superlaser cannons of the Final Order's Xyston-class Star Destroyers.[25]

According to Peli Motto, a technician who lived on Tatooine, technology from the era of the Galactic Republic was rare by the time of the New Republic Era. Nevertheless, Motto endeavored to acquire the parts needed to rebuild a derelict N-1 starfighter for her client, the Mandalorian Din Djarin. As a Galactic Republic-era starfighter, the N-1 was made of pre-Empire handmade components and therefore not manufactured by droids. One such component was a turbonic venturi power assimilator that Motto acquired from a group of Jawas.[144]

Society and culture[]

Civilization[]

"Tales of its founding have been occluded by the haze of intervening millennia, and its rebirth a thousand years ago was regarded as the latest evolution in an unending cycle. Like the greatest of trees, however, the Republic's decline began from within, with a deep rot that was not apparent until it was too late."
―Janyor[15]
Coruscant landscape RotS

The Core Worlds represented the wealthiest and most prestigious region in the Galactic Republic.

The Galactic Republic governed the galaxy as a democratic union,[1] and as such, it featured a diverse society of humans and various alien species.[15] Coruscant in particular was emblematic of Republic society with its diverse mix of citizens and culture, making the Republic capital the "vibrant heart" of the galaxy.[141] Overall, being a galactic government, trillions lived under the Republic, with every one of those beings an individual who had their own thoughts and opinions on current issues; as such, complete consensus was impossible, yet successful Chancellors, like Lina Soh, nonetheless proved it was possible to bring about effective, galactic rule. In Soh's case, she argued to her people the advantage of coming together to make life better for all. Others failed to bring about that same unity by making impossible promises, threats, or abusing power.[28]

The Core Worlds, where Coruscant was located, was home to the most developed systems in the Republic. Various Core planets served as capitals for galactic governments such as the Old Republic, the Empire, and the New Republic. The prosperity of the Core made its worlds the wealthiest and most prestigious members of the Republic, though it was also a source of tension between the Core and the more distant regions of the galaxy. People who lived outside of the Core generally viewed "Core Worlders" as arrogant, entitled, and apathetic to the well-being and needs of other regions. A common criticism of Republic politics was that the system disproportionately favored the Core Worlds to the point of ignoring the rest of the galaxy.[25]

Level 1313 DB

The Republic capital's lower levels were ridden with crime and poverty.

Coruscant was perceived as perpetuating the Core Worlds' reputation for extreme wealth and privilege. Notwithstanding its unique status as the galactic capital, the whole planet was covered by a city of levels built upon levels throughout the ages of galactic history. The tallest skyscrapers rose over five-thousand levels above the planet's natural surface, and only those who could afford to live in the upper city had access to the comfortable and luxurious lifestyle for which Coruscant was famous. The disparity was such that the lower levels were notorious for widespread crime, poverty, and being devoid of natural sunlight.[25]

Republic architecture was an architectural style that demonstrated sweeping lines. This particular design was prominently featured on the city-covered planet of Coruscant, although by the time of the Clone Wars, the Republic gradually adopted a brutalist or bold form of architecture. Introduced by military architects such as Orson Krennic, it ultimately supplanted the Republic style as the dominant architectural form of the Galactic Empire.[149]

Galactic Basic Standard was the most prevalent language in the Republic,[150] spoken primarily by humans[151] and the Pantorans.[152] A heavily accented dialect of Basic, with many differences in grammar and vocabulary, was spoken by the Gungans of Naboo.[10] The translation of the Sith language, known as ur-Kittât, was forbidden under Galactic Republic law. Protocol droids were consequently programmed against translating the language of the Sith. Darth Sidious believed that the Republic outlawed ur-Kittât out of fear of the Sith Order and its knowledge.[153]

GalaxiesOperaHouse

Republic citizens turned away from galactic politics to follow escapist pursuits.

The peaceful age of the Republic allowed the people of the galaxy to pursue leisure activities, some of which achieved galactic-level attention. The Boonta Eve Classic, while based on the independent Outer Rim world of Tatooine, beyond the Republic frontier, received coverage and attention as far as the Core Worlds. Prior to the Clone Wars, the Republic's twilight years became an era of escapism as citizens of all classes sought entertaining distractions from their daily lives. Professional podrace circuits and other circuses diverted the people's attention from the growing corruption that permeated the Galactic Senate. Nevertheless, the general public's fascination with various forms of entertainment was driven by an innate desire for stories about good versus evil and situations of escalating danger.[15]

JediTemple cloudysky

The Jedi Order eschewed prestige and celebrity, making them mysterious to the Republic they served.

Whereas the Republic evolved through the centuries of its existence, the Jedi Order remained rooted in its ancient traditions, effectively putting the Jedi Code at odds with a galactic society that strongly favored the future over the past. The inhabitants of the Core Worlds became fixated on notions of fame and fashion, and had little interest in Jedi principles like faith and tradition. The Order maintained its place in the Republic by relying on historic precedent, serving as keepers of peace and justice. Unlike corporate institutions that marketed their services to the greater galaxy, the Order had little desire to promote itself through image-building. Aside from those who witnessed the Jedi's heroics[154] and were awed by their Force powers, the Order and its ways were forever mysterious to the majority of the Republic citizenry. The Jedi were seen by the public as an order of mystics at best and, at worst, regarded as a zealous sect of warmongers.[15]

Republic6SpokedBenduSymbol-RotS

A variant of the Republic crest was used during the Clone Wars.

As a result of territorial expansion, the Republic developed a sense of manifest destiny. This cultural belief was cultivated by Republic propagandists who sought to foster civic pride among the populace so that they would ultimately feel duty-bound to support the Republic's expansion from rim to rim. There was an exponential growth in Republic patriotism due to the Clone Wars and the accompanying propaganda that promoted loyalty to the state. Patriotic messages stirred an entire generation into action; however, they could not enlist in the Grand Army as its ranks were exclusive to clone troopers. Nevertheless, Republic citizens felt obliged to do their part by purchasing war bonds, reporting acts of treason, and making sacrifices to support the war effort.[15] The Republic crest, the symbol of a united galaxy under the Force,[155] was emblazoned on military war machines and heraldry, featuring more prominently than before.[15]

Although the Republic expanded into the Outer Rim Territories, the region was too underdeveloped to have the same stability as the Core Worlds. As the galaxy's largest region, the Outer Rim featured a myriad of diversity through its various planets and species. The Republic government had little oversight over the Outer Rim due to the region's distance from the Core, and as such the Outer Rim remained known for its lawless, sparsely populated, and primitive worlds. Republic law was virtually non-existent in the Outer Rim; as a result, bounty hunters, outlaws and smugglers were able to operate with impunity,[25] and slavery was still practiced in spite of the Republic's anti-slave laws.[10]

Xenophobia[]

"Under Gunray's tenure, the Trade Federation would loudly counter such claims as common anti-Neimoidian prejudice."
―Janyor[15]
Taxation Without Federation-SW Propaganda

A popular stereotype of the Neimoidian race was the fat plutocrat who embodied greed and treachery.

During the High Republic Era, Chancellor Soh wanted to promote unity amongst the various species that made up the Republic, using the phrase "We are all the Republic" to let the population know they were all part of the system;[28] however, xenophobia was an issue in a society as diverse as the Republic. Although the Republic officially promoted unity among its member worlds[15] and outlawed the enslavement of sentient species,[10] some people were subjected to racial stereotypes. Neimoidians, for example, were considered obese, duplicitous and avaricious by some, including those who harbored anti-corporate views. This perception of their race was a product of Neimoidian culture, which cultivated a "survival of the fittest" mentality in Neimoidian younglings.[15]

The Trade Federation used xenophobic sentiments as a means to silence its critics, insinuating that those who sought to curtail the Federation's massive influence were prejudiced towards its Neimoidian leaders. The Muuns likewise had an image problem due to their monopoly in the InterGalactic Banking Clan. In general Muuns saw little need to build a relationship of stability and trust with the galaxy; they simply assumed that their place in society was to continue dominating galactic finances. Their cultural standards informed their business practices; therefore, Muun-sponsored advertisements were viewed as "distant and disconnected."[15]

During the Clone Wars, anti-alien prejudice grew as a result of the non-human races that constituted the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Vice Chancellor Mas Amedda sought to promote the Republic's multicultural aspect, having taken notice of the attention given to human citizens by the Republic media. Rather than reporting on Amedda's effort to showcase Republic diversity, HoloNet News outlets focused on the Vice Chancellor's self-inclusion as the sole Chagrian in an assembly of various aliens. The populace decried Amedda's message of strength and unity, and considered him an egocentric narcissist.[15]

Keep Our Republic Secure

The Clone Wars fueled the Republic population's anti-droid sentiment.

The Clone Wars also inflamed the population's anti-droid sentiment to new levels due in no small part to the Separatists' reliance on battle droids. Droids had long become commonplace in galactic society, and though machines had always been the property of organics, the war cemented the view that droids were an existential threat to biological life. The Republic capitalized on this sentiment, using propaganda to illustrate droids as ruthless and dangerous tools of destruction. While the the concept of "droid terror" was embodied by battlefield machines, such as the B1-series battle droid, B2-series super battle droid, and the droideka, administrative aide droids were viewed as a different kind of "droid threat" to Republic security. There was a growing fear among the Core's affluent population that the personal assistant droids of businessbeings and government administrators could be co-opted through spyware and used for Separatist espionage.[15]

Despite the Jedi Order's millennia of service to the Republic,[25] there was widespread anti-Jedi sentiment as a result of the Clone Wars.[15] The Sith plotted to undermine the relationship between the Republic citizenry and their Jedi guardians,[137] using the Clone Wars to shake the Republic's faith in the Order.[15] The Order fought hard to bring a swift and decisive end to the conflict,[2] but many citizens believed that the Jedi were warmongers. This perception was able to grow due in part to the Jedi's reluctance to accept accolades or embrace the fame of their status. It was the Order's preference to serve but not engage the populace; as such, the population's anti-Jedi views were the result of the Order's cultural absence as opposed to an actual refutation of their ways.[15]

Astrography[]

"Republic wordsmiths and artists collaborated to create a sense of civic duty, of manifest destiny, and of deep obligation to spread the Republic banner from Rim to Rim."
―Janyor[15]
Coruscant system-TPM

Coruscant, the capital of the Republic, was located in the heart of the Core Worlds.

With Coruscant—birthplace of the human species[156]—as its capital,[15] the expansion of the Galactic Republic occurred along pioneering hyperspace routes. Survey teams established navigational beacons in outlying territories such as the Tertiary Usaita system,[157] allowing colonists from the Core Worlds to venture outward towards the Outer Rim in search of opportunity and a better life.[158]

The Galactic Republic existed across the known galaxy, stretching from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim Territories. The Core Worlds was the heartland of the Republic, home to cosmopolitan worlds such as Coruscant[15] and Hosnian Prime[159] as well as Alderaan, one of the oldest and most prestigious planets in the Republic.[160] Over time, Republic expansionism led to the annexation of new member worlds.[15] The planet Naboo, located in the Mid Rim, was annexed by the Republic[87] in 867 BBY.[161]

The Galaxy - TROS Visual Dictionary

The Galactic Republic was a democratic union that spanned across the known galaxy for a thousand years.

The Republic exerted most of its power from the Core Worlds to the borders of the Mid Rim, to the extent that corporations conducted their legally dubious practices in regions where the Republic held little sway. Faced with issues like overpopulation and poverty among the lower classes, the Republic turned its attention to the Outer Rim, adopting a policy of expansion toward the uncharted territories of the known galaxy's farthest frontier. Those who inhabited the congested worlds of the galactic core were beckoned into deep space by political and corporate sponsored messages of life filled with adventure and mystery.[15]

Although the Republic opposed secession, it effectively lost control over the territories that formed the Separatist Alliance. Its territorial extent changed numerous times over the course of the Clone Wars, with worlds lost and reclaimed by the Grand Army of the Republic. However, the Republic also gained new territory as a result of the war. Geonosis, the planet where the Separatist Droid Army was secretly constructed, existed beyond the Republic's borders.[15] The Republic Military occupied the Geonosian homeworld after the First Battle of Geonosis, and subsequently returned to reconquer the planet after it fell back under Separatist control.[8] The Kaminoan government formally joined the Republic; as such, Kamino[15]—an extragalactic planet[82]—was accorded full representation in the Galactic Senate, having supplied the Republic with its clone industry.[15]

Behind the scenes[]

The Galactic Republic was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon as the "Old Republic" through the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, directed by George Lucas.[18] The entity first appeared and was first identified as the "Galactic Republic" in the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, also directed by Lucas.[10]
