"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]
