"The Galactic Republic was the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time.

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[src]
The Galactic Republic, commonly known as the Republic and remembered as
the Old Republic, was a federal parliamentary republic comprising thousands
of worlds spread across the galaxy. Adhering to a democratic constitution, the Republic
was governed by a legislative body of two thousand senators, known as the Galactic
Senate, appointed to represent the interests of their respective homeworlds on
the galactic stage. It was led by the Supreme Chancellor, who was chosen from among
the Senate's ranks to arbitrate congressional sessions and represent the Republic as a
whole. Coruscant, a planetary ecumenopolis located in the Core Worlds, was the
Republic's capital, and therefore, where the Senate was headquartered.
The modern Republic emerged a thousand years before the advent of the Clone
Wars in 22 BBY. A new era of peace dawned across the galaxy in the aftermath of
the last war between the ancient Sith Lords and Jedi Knights, sweeping
away centuries of darkness lumped into a collective whole known as the "Old Republic"
and ultimately forgotten when history began anew. At the height of its power, art and
commerce flourished across the Republic while isolated conflicts remained few and far
between, the result of the Jedi Order's mandate as guardians of peace and justice.
Using propaganda to cultivate a sense of civic duty and manifest destiny, the Republic
embraced a policy of expansion, determined to see its banner spread from the Core
Worlds to the Outer Rim Territories. During the Fall of the Republic, which began with
the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, its principles had been eroded by corrupt politics and
the apathy of an aimless generation. At the same time, a growing number of disaffected
citizens came to view the Republic as distant, dispassionate, and not worth the
membership. Manipulated by the Sith, the newly-formed Confederacy of Independent
Systems went to war with the Republic, pitting the Separatist Droid Army against
the Jedi-led Grand Army of the Republic.
In the waning days of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Generals were betrayed by their clone
troopers as a result of a conspiracy that positioned Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith,
to take unlimited power as Emperor of the first Galactic Empire in 19 BBY. With the
Jedi eradicated and a new system supplanting the old democracy, the Empire drifted
into a fascist state until the last remnant of the Republic was swept away just prior to
the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY. When the Emperor perished at the Battle of Endor in 4
ABY, the Alliance to Restore the Republic declared itself the New Republic and
ultimately defeated the Imperial remnant a year later on Jakku. Under the New Republic
Era, the Galactic Republic was remembered as the Republic of legend—a pillar upon
which democracy and liberty stood for a millennium—its stewardship hailed as "the last
era of peace" by the historian Janyor.

History Edit

Rise of democracy Edit

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

For a thousand years, the Galactic Republic governed the galaxy from Coruscant, a Core World and the cradle of human
civilization.
Before the rise of the Galactic Republic, its predecessor, the Old Republic,
gradually declined and ultimately fell[9] as a result of its conflict with the Sith.[14] The
Sith—a malevolent order of dark side Force users,[15] founded by rogue Jedi during
the Hundred-Year Darkness[16]—were able to establish their rule over the galaxy for a
period of time.[2] After the fall of the ancient Sith,[5] a number of star systems united to
form the democratic union known as the Galactic Republic.[1] Under the protection of
the Jedi Order,[17] the Republic existed in a state of relative peace and stability[1] that
lasted for a millennium until the advent of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY.[12]
The Four Sages of Dwartii were notable in influencing some of its earliest laws.[18] As its
governing body, the newly reorganized government established the Galactic Senate,
the members of which were elected to represent their systems. The
Republic's capital was installed on the planet of Coruscant, which had already existed
for several thousands of years.[1]

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[5] was Tarsus Valorum,[11] a scion of the House
Valorum.[5][7] 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.[5][19] 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.[17] 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.[5]

Expansion and stagnation Edit

"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[src]
Under the Republic, the galaxy existed in a state of peace and unity for nearly a millennium.
For centuries, the 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. [20]
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.[5]

Driven by a sense of manifest destiny, the Republic was determined to spread its banner from Rim to Rim.
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.[5]
For centuries, a deep-rooted hatred and distrust grew 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. [5]
Though a symbol of democracy, the Galactic Senate became mired in bureaucracy and 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 then Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum was turned away by Wilhuff
Tarkin, who was hoping to reduce the influence of the Chancellor who was already
rumored to lose the next election in order to support then Senator Palpatine, who had
earlier helped Tarkin gain entrance into the Judicial Academy and supported his
ascension as leader of his homeworld.[5]

Invasion of Naboo Edit

Main article: 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."
―Queen Amidala, to Senator Palpatine[src]

Disillusioned by Republic politics, Queen Amidala implored Senator Sheev Palpatine to restore compassion to the Senate.
Despite the best efforts of the well-meaning Finis Valorum, the Trade Federation
promptly invaded Naboo over disputes about plasma exports, in which a Judicial force
carried Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to the Saak'ak, a
Trade Federation Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 cargo freighter to discuss a peaceful
resolution to the conflict.[5][21] However, upon learning that Jedi had intervened, Dark
Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious swiftly ordered their execution, an order
which Viceroy Nute Gunray fearfully carried out, only to have the attempt end in failure,
resulting in the escape of the Jedi. On the planet below, the Jedi managed to rescue
then Queen Padmé Amidala seeking to bring her back to Coruscant; however, a
damaged T-14 hyperdrive generator resulted in them making an unplanned landing on
the desert planet of Tatooine. While stranded in the city of Mos Espa, Qui-Gon Jinn
discovered then slave Anakin Skywalker, who he believed was the Chosen
One destined to bring balance to the Force. Though it was not long before one of
Sidious's agents, Darth Maul, attempted to eliminate the Jedi on the desert world, only
to have the Jedi escape once more in the nick of time, with the now freed boy Anakin.
Upon their arrival at Coruscant, Padmé was coerced by Senator Palpatine, who was
taking advantage of his homeworld's delicate situation to have Valorum removed from
office through a vote of no confidence. The vote passed, increasing the chances of
Palpatine becoming the next Supreme Chancellor.[7]
Finding no sympathy in the Senate, Padmé Amidala returned to her world of Naboo and
forged an alliance with Boss Nass of one of the Gungan underwater cities of Otoh
Gunga, located underneath Lake Paonga. With the help of the Gungan Grand Army and
freed members of the Royal Naboo Security Forces, along with a starfighter attack on
the Saak'ak in orbit, the Trade Federation and its blockade were defeated, thanks
largely to Anakin, who helped fire the shot that ultimately destroyed the control ship.
However, the victory was not without its costs, with Qui-Gon's death at the hands of
Darth Maul, and the Jedi's loss of knowledge of who was actually behind the attack.
Nonetheless, with Naboo now freed from occupation, a grand parade was held in honor
of their recent victory, while Palpatine himself arrived to announce his ascension to the
position of Supreme Chancellor, also informing Anakin that he would watch his progress
"with much interest."[7]

Separatist Crisis Edit

Main article: 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."
―Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Jedi Master Mace Windu[src]

Under the leadership of Chancellor Palpatine, the Senate opposed the Separatist movement as a threat to the security of 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, Sheev 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. 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 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 be at the behest of
the Galactic Senate. Unbeknownst to Sifo-Dyas, Darth Sidious had earlier
contacted Prime Minister Lama Su, and convinced him to implant a control chip into the
clones during the third stage of their development to turn against the Jedi at a mere
command.[5][22]
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, 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 result 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, all while erasing the existence of Kamino from the Jedi Archives.[5][22][12]
In the ten years 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 was busy manipulating 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.[5]

Lacking a diplomatic solution, the Senate granted emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine.
With war now imminent, the Galactic Senate hastily passed the Military Creation Act,
especially after Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered the secret clone army on
Kamino after tracing the origins of a previously unknown dart used in an assassination
attempt against Senator Padmé Amidala, who opposed the military buildup. When
Kenobi was captured by the Separatist Droid Army on Geonosis, the Senate gave
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine emergency powers to raise the newly formed Grand
Army of the Republic and Republic Navy to rescue Kenobi along with a team of two
hundred Jedi led by Mace Windu. The ensuing battle saw the rescue of Kenobi along
with the prodigal Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Senator Amidala, who was later used by
Sidious in an attempt to ensure Anakin's eventual turn to the dark side of the Force. [12]

The Clone Wars Edit

Main article: 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.""
―Yoda to Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]

Led by the Knights of the Jedi Order, the Grand Army of the Republic secured the first victory in the Clone Wars.
With the first major battle in the Clone Wars being the deadly Battle of Geonosis, the
encounter raged on as the plans for an Ultimate Weapon from Poggle the Lesser were
transferred to Dooku, as well as a brief but vicious fight erupting between Dooku and
Master Yoda. Simultaneously, the various members of the newly founded Confederacy
of Independent Systems evacuated the planet as Republic clone troopers gradually
forced the Separatist Droid Army back. With the battle ending in a victory for the
Republic, Count Dooku traveled to an industrial sector on Coruscant to inform his
master that the war has begun as planned, all while the Jedi Council pondered Dooku's
warning that the Dark Lord of the Sith controlled the Senate. Nevertheless, with the
Battle of Geonosis a clear victory for the Republic, the upcoming war to destroy the
Separatist Alliance and its allies dragged the galaxy into further conflict over the next
three years.[12]

The Republic deployed millions of clone troopers across the galaxy to fight the droid armies of the Separatist Alliance.
In the aftermath of Geonosis, the deadly three-year conflict that engulfed the galaxy into
chaos officially began, forcing more and more worlds to choose sides between the
Galactic Republic and its clone army or the ever-expanding Confederacy of
Independent Systems and its Separatist 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 apprentice Asajj Ventress sought to disrupt the
meeting, and instead sought to win the support of the king to join the
Confederacy.[23] The Republic also sent military aid and support to factions in need,
such as Cham Syndulla's Twi'lek Resistance on Ryloth, or to the Dugs of Malastare,
whose lucrative fuel reserves were a great boon to the Republic Navy.[24][25] 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.[12][9]
Throughout the Clone Wars, numerous attempts were made against Supreme
Chancellor Palpatine's life, including an assassination attempt on Naboo masterminded
by Count Dooku as well as the hostage taking of members of the Galactic Senate by
notorious bounty hunter Cad Bane.[26][27] 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, 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.[28]

Conflict with the Separatists transformed the Republic into a militarized state.
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.[29] 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.[30]

Fall of the Republic Edit

"So this is how liberty dies…with thunderous applause."
―Padmé Amidala, lamenting the death of the Republic — Listen (file info)[src]

The Jedi confronted Palpatine after discovering his true identity as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious.
While many heroic actions were taken by the Jedi and those who served under them,
inspiring the public with stories of bravery, war weariness only continued to grow as the
years went by,[20] with many coming to believe that the Jedi had abandoned their role as
peacekeepers, staging massive protests outside of the Jedi Temple as a result. Utilized
as military commanders, the Jedi led the Republic war effort but sustained many
casualties in the process, resulting in the loss of their influence on the galaxy. Political
actions were especially damaging to the Jedi Order, with officers like Wilhuff Tarkin
calling for the Jedi's removal from the military as he believed that the Jedi
Code prevented them from attaining the decisive victory in the Clone Wars.
Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee also believed the Jedi were losing touch with their
commitment to maintain the peace, and staged a bombing in the Jedi Temple as
protest, all while framing Ahsoka Tano of committing the act before being captured
herself.[31] 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.[4] 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.[5]
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 Chancellor Palpatine. 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. Whereas the Delegation of 2,000 sought to petition the
Chancellor to relinquish his emergency powers, 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]

The Republic was dissolved after the fall of the Jedi Order, with Sidious declaring himself Emperor of the First Galactic Empire.
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. Acting swiftly on this revelation, 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 Windu disarmed him. Given the Chancellor's control over the Senate and
the courts, Windu deemed Sidious too dangerous to live. However, Skywalker argued
that execution was contrary to the Jedi way, although his personal attachment to
Amidala also influenced him at this critical point as he believed that Sidious could save
her life. 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 to execute their Jedi leaders across the galaxy.[2]
Following the initial purge of the Jedi Order, Darth Sidious declared himself Galactic
Emperor and thereby cementing the transformation of the Galactic Republic into the
newly-formed Galactic Empire. In addition to the extermination of the Jedi, Darth
Vader executed the Separatist Council and deactivated their droid army, resulting in the
end of the Clone Wars and the dawn of the Age of the Empire.[2]

Legacy Edit

Empire and rebirth Edit

"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[src]

Inspired by the Old Republic, the Rebel Alliance was reorganized into the New Republic after a generation of Imperial rule.
In the decades after the dissolution of the Galactic Republic, numerous individuals still
clinged 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."[20][32] Nevertheless, a majority of galactic citizens eventually came to
believe and actively support this 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.[5]
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[33] and Berch Teller's rebel cell.[5] These displays of resistance eventually
coalesced into the Alliance to Restore the Republic shortly before the Battle of Yavin,
resulting in the successful destruction of the first Death Star,[34] while subsequent
battles including the destruction of the second Death Star and death of the Emperor and
his apprentice, Darth Vader,[35] led to the formation of the New Republic as an ode to
the Republic of old.[8]

Posterity's judgment Edit

"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[src]

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.
The Galactic Republic was remembered 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.[14]
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. [14]

Organization Edit
Politics Edit
Main articles: Galactic Senate and Supreme Chancellor
The end of the Jedi–Sith war saw the end of the Old Republic and the formation of the
Galactic Republic and the establishment of the Galactic Senate,[14] which elected
a Supreme Chancellor.[7]

Foreign policy Edit

The Galactic Republic did not intervene in the Open-Closed War on Carnelion
IV because the planet was not part of the Republic. Carnelion IV did not join the
Republic because the Senate had little economic interests in the planet.[36] 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.[37]

Defense Edit
Prior to the Clone Wars, the Judicial Forces, a branch of the Judicial Department,
served as the armed peacekeeping forces of the Galactic Republic.[38] While the Jedi
helped to maintain order and peace under the authority of the Galactic Senate, they
were not considered a standing military.[39] 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.[11]
