Republic Era

The Republic Era, also known as the era of the Republic, the Age of Republic or the Great Peace, was a period in galactic history marked by the rise and fall of the Galactic Republic. Following the Ruusan Reformation, the Republic Era commenced with the establishment of the modern Galactic Republic. Aided by the Knights of the Jedi Order, the Galactic Senate of the Republic governed the Andromeda galaxy in a time of peace that lasted for roughly a millennium.
According to Janyor, the Republic gradually declined under a stagnant bureaucracy and political corruption, and its final years were remembered as the Twilight of the Republic or the Twilight of the Old Republic. The Invasion of Naboo, followed by the Separatist Crisis and the Clone Wars, marked the Republic's transition from a democracy to a military dictatorship under Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. This thirteen-year period from 32 BBY to 19 BBY became known as the fall of the Republic. In the aftermath of the implementation of Order 66, which saw the collapse of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Jedi's annihilation, Palpatine — the Sith Lord Darth Sidious — proclaimed himself Galactic Emperor, transforming the Republic into the Galactic Empire. The Republic Era concluded with the dawn of the Imperial Era.
