* Galactic Empire (reorganized as Imperial Army until 19BBY with the introduction of Human-born recruits in the Imperial Army and Stormtrooper Corps)
* Terran Alliance (after Order 66 and joined the Terran Army)

The **Grand Army of the Republic (GAR)**, also known as the *Great Army of the Republic*, the Republic Army, the Grand Army, the Galactic Army, or simply the Clone Army, was the army branch of the Republic Military throughout the duration of the Sith Wars, Jedi Civil War, Galactic Cold War and Clone Wars in the Andromeda Galaxy. At the time of the First Battle of Geonosis, the Galactic Republic activated tens of thousands of clone troopers to fight the Separatist Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In addition to human clones, all grown from the bounty hunter Jango Fett's genetic template, the Grand Army consisted of various military vehicles for ground support, including AV-7 Anti-vehicle Artillery Cannons, BARC speeders, and All Terrain Tactical Enforcers.

In 1994 AD or 19BBY, Chancellor Sheeve Palpatine known as Darth Sidious enacted the Order 66 allowing the Clone troopers to turn against their Jedi Generals as well as their Terran Allies, though many soldiers of the GAR were successfully defected to the Terran Alliance prior to these events.

## History

### Precursors

The **Republic Army**, previously known as the Republic Armies, was the collective ground forces of the Galactic Republic from its founding in 25,053 BBY until the dissolution of the Republic Military in 1000 BBY, they served as the predacessors of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) prior to the events of Clone Wars. A force with a long history, its forces included specialized troops such as rocket-jumpers and also a fair number of combat droids of differing models.

The Army existed as far back as 4000 BBY. At some point, the Army established a military academy on the planet Carida. Maintenance of the Armies along with the Republic Navy was handled by the Minister of Defense in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War. Following that time, Brigadiers of the Republic Armies were known to have participated in the Great Sith War. At the start of the Mandalorian Wars, there were multiple armies in different sectors of the galaxy. They were only united under one banner when Revan took charge of the military. A large number of these soldiers later turned traitor and became Sith troopers when Darth Revan, the hero of the Mandalorian Wars, returned from the Unknown Regions and formed a Sith Empire. These former Republic soldiers were heavily involved in the Jedi Civil War and the resultant Dark Wars. The new unified Republic Army later served to combat the reborn Sith Empire that instigated the Great Galactic War and also continued to protect the Republic's reduced territory in the Cold War that followed the conflict.
