New Republic

The **New Republic**, also known simply as the **Republic**, was an interstellar government established by the Alliance to Restore the Republic to replace the Galactic Empire as the new galactic authority at the end of the Galactic Civil War.

Composed of various member worlds spread across light-years of space, the New Republic was modeled on the principles of its predecessor, and strove to dismantle Emperor Palpatine's New Order by restoring democracy following decades of Imperial rule. The aftermath of the Battle of Jakku saw the New Republic accept the Empire's formal surrender in 5 ABY, resulting in the Galactic Concordance peace treaty that ended the civil war in the same year. The New Republic Defense Force was subsequently demilitarized, ultimately serving as a peacekeeping force, while individual member worlds raised their own planetary defense forces. Many actions taken by the New Republic were designed to eradicating the shortcomings that brought about the Republic's downfall at the end of the Clone Wars. The ultimate objective of this new government was to prevent further widespread civil war in the galaxy through any means necessary.

Just as the Old Republic was once protected by the Jedi Order prior the Great Jedi Purge, the New Republic eventually came to recognize the growing New Jedi Order, which was established by Rebel heroes Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade, Jarik Shan, and Ahsoka Tano. However, the New Republic and the New Jedi Order would often come to be at odds with each other, with the Republic typically dismissing the latter's concern over the threat posed by the Yuuzhan Vong and the First Order.
