Another galaxy, another time.
The Old Republic was the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time. 
No need to note where it was or whence it came, only to know that...it was 
the Republic.
Once, under the wise rule of the Senate and the protection of the Jedi 
Knights, the Republic throve and grew. But as often happens when wealth and
power pass beyond the admiralble and attain the awesome, then appear those evil
ones who have greed to match.
So it was with the Republic at its height. Like the greatest of trees, able
to withstand any external attack, the Republic rotted from within though the 
danger was not visible from outside.
Aided and abetted by restless, power-hungry individuals within the
government, and the massive organs of commerce, the ambitious Senator Palpatine
caused himself to be elected President of the Republic. He promised to reunite
the disaffected among the people and to restore the remembered glory of the 
Republic.
Once secure in office he declared himself Emperor, shutting himself away 
from the populace. Soon he was controlled by the very assistants and boot-
lickers he had appointed to high office, and the cries of the people for justice
did not reach his ears.
Having exterminated through treachery and deception the Jedi Knights,
guardians of justice in the galaxy, the Imperial governors and bureaucrats
prepared to institute a reign of terror among the disheartened worlds of the 
galaxy. Many used the imperial forces and the name of the increasingly isolated
Emperor to further their own personal ambitions.
But a small number of systems rebelled at these new outrages. Declaring 
themselves opposed to the New order they began the great battle to restore the 
Old Republic.
From the beginning they were vastly outnumbered by the systems held in 
thrall by the Emperor. In those first dark days it seemed certain the bright 
flame of resistance would be extinguished before it could cast the light of new 
truth across a galaxy of oppressed and beaten peoples...
