Galactic Federation of Free Alliances

The **Galactic Federation of Free Alliances** was the name of the galactic government established by the Alliance to Restore the Republic to replace the Galactic Empire after the Battle of Endor most commonly called the **Galactic Federation.**

## A New Galactic Republic

The death of Emperor Palpatine, in 4 ABY, at the Battle of Endor, signaled the end of the Empire. The news of the Death Star II's destruction, as well as Palpatine's demise, was broadcast by the Rebel Alliance throughout the galaxy, using their alternative HoloNet system called the New Republic HoloNet. On the Galactic Empire capital world of Coruscant, civilians and Rebels reacted to the broadcast by starting an uprising, among other things shouting praise for the return of the Republic.

A week after the Battle of Endor, at the end of the Bakura Incident, the Alliance to Restore the Republic, was reorganized into the Alliance of Free Planets.

Eventually when the Empire surrendered after the battle of jakku The official government that took over to replace the Galactic Empire was created.

The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, Each world would maintain their own Government and hold representation within the Alliance and elect their own Speaker for each state.

## Government and politics

### -Membership in the New Republic-

The Galactic Federation was a voluntary organized on democratic principles under the Galactic Alliance Common Charter and in accord with the ideals and purposes embodied in the Declaration of a Galactic Federation. Primary (voting) membership was available to any independent sovereign political entity representing one or more unified planetary populations, or to other recognized and definable territories, such as the surviving Alderaanians. Membership followed an application process (during which the candidate member reviewed the Charter and other governing statutes and agreed to abide by them) and an assessment process (during which the candidate member's annual support contribution was determined).

Affiliate (non-voting) membership was available to subordinate political units (for example, the individual members of a league of worlds) and to duly recognized representatives of sentient species not constituting a political unit.

Observer (non-voting) membership was available to nonmember allies of the Galactic Federation.

The Declaration of a Galactic Federation set forth the principles to which the Federation was dedicated; the common Charter was the actual mechanism by which planets became members, and specified both the rights and duties of members, and the various institutions of government and their powers. The common Charter was a creation of the transitional Provisional Council.

Worlds applying to join the Federation submitted Articles of Membership, while worlds wishing to leave the Federation did by submitting Articles of Withdrawal.

### -Legislative branch-

The main legislative body of the Galactic Alliance was the Senate. The Senate was composed of representatives from all member worlds and states that compose the new government. The powers of the Senate were curbed under the new constitution by a series of checks and balances, namely increasing the powers of both the executive and the judiciary. Despite these changes, the Senate remains a powerful and important part of the Alliance government

### -Executive branch-

The Federation President is the chief executive officer of the Federation. The President was responsible for the day-to-day operation of the government, setting and coordinating foreign policy, and dealing with resource distribution issues. The President is supported by the Cabinet of 6 , a special committee comprising the heads of the executive departments of the Federation government.

The Position is a Elected Position and the Elected Must be currently serving in the Federation Senate and be elected by the majority of votes from the Public voting system, Also the Position is up for relection every 5 years and one person can only hold the position for two terms.

**Current President-** Mon Mothma

### -Judicial branch-

The **Federation Supreme Court** was the highest court in the Federation. The increase of judicial oversight and power was designed to help curb any legislative abuse or corruption, which was becoming increasingly common during the Galactic Empire years and last years of the Old Republic

## Economy

The Galactic Federation had a very complex and diverse economy like the Old Republic. The increases in state control and centralization of economic procedures during the Imperial Period were partially reversed under the Galactic Federation.

After the fracturing of the Empire at the Battle of Endor, many different currencies came into existence. Though the Galactic Federation had reclaimed the credit, it was by no means the most accepted monetary unit in the galaxy. During this time exchange rates fluctuated wildly, and indeed it was hard at times to find anyone that would exchange one for another. The establishment of the Galactic Federation presumably stabilized the galactic economy.[*source?*]

At that time, the credit was backed by the immense wealth of the planet Muunilinst. During the early years of the Federation, Nova crystals mined on Krann were the base for much of the galactic government's hard currency

## Society and culture

The Federation had a very diverse culture like the Old Republic. Restrictions placed on arts and culture during the Imperial era were removed by the Federation and returned to the opulence and ornamentation of the Old Republic.

The Humanocentrism policies of the Empire were ended under the Federation. But, the views of Human High Culture would be kept alive in the New Republic for years after the Empire's defeat by fringe groups such as the Human League.

## Military

The military arm of the government was known as the Galactic Alliance Defense Force. Led by the Supreme Commander, the Defense Force consisted of the Galactic Alliance Navy and Army. These federally controlled forces were tasked with numerous roles, ranging from securing hyperlanes to protecting key worlds, as well as facing any aggressors that sought to attack or harm the Alliance. Its structure was extremely similar to the older Republic Defense Force.

### -Galactic Alliance Defense Force-

#### ----Command

The Galactic Alliance Defense Force was under the overall command of the Supreme Commander, who was appointed by the Federation President and approved by the Senate The Supreme Commander also serves as the Second in Command of the Entire Government as a Vice President of sorts to the President.

* Galactic Alliance Colonies Fleet
* Galactic Alliance Expansion Region Fleet

## Astrography

The Galactic Federation territory varied in size a great deal during the course of its history. By 6.5 ABY, 30% of the galaxy (some 300,000 worlds) fully supported the New Republic, with an additional 20% (200,000 worlds) supporting nominally and partially. In 8 ABY over 600,000 worlds were members, and by 9 ABY almost three-quarters of the Known Galaxy (at least 700,000 worlds), including all of the Core Worlds except the Corellian sector and a few Coruscant sector planets were New Republic members. By 12 ABY A significant portion of the Known Galaxy, stretching from the Core Worlds to Wild Space, spanning at least 1.2 million worlds Were apart of the Federation.
