The New Republic

## Pre-Campaign History

### Founding and Establishment

Formed in 6 ABY immediately after the Liberation of Coruscant, Mon Mothma and the rest of the Alliance Council sign the Declaration of the Restoration of the Republic.

By 8 ABY the New Republic was able to push the Empire out of the Core and the colonies, with the chief exception being Kuat.

### Scipio Cataclysm and The Corellian Deception

In 12 ABY with disaster looming for Scipio Grand Admiral Rae Sloane calls for a ceasefire between the New Republic and the IRS as relief and evacuation efforts commence. At the behest of Co-Consul Mon Mothma the New Republic Senate voted, in a narrow and contentious decision, and agreed to the temporary ceasefire and Co-Consul Gial Ackbar takes the New Republic Fleet to the far outer rim to evacuate Scipio.

In 13 ABY, Commodore Screed made an attempt to capitalize on the absence of the New Republic Core Fleet, in what would later be known as the Corellian Deception. Screed slipped out of hyperspace in the Corellia System and commandeered as many ships from the Corellian Engineering Corporation as he could, and disabled the Dockyards in his retreat. Garm Bel Iblis, First Citizen of Corellia and one of the founders of the Rebel Alliance, led the planetary defense and in the ensuing battle Bel Iblis's flagship *The Peregrine* was lost and all hands were presumed dead.

In the aftermath, the New Republic Senate was in open revolt against any further relief to Scipio and the IRS. Mon Mothma is voted out of her position as Co-Consul in a vote of No Confidence and is succeeded by Kigheya Raad of Kinyen, known for their isolationist and populist platform.

With the withdrawal of New Republic and the disjointed efforts of the Imperial Remnant States Scipio was left in the hands of the Han Solo, Talon Karrde's Smuggler Cooperative, and Grandmaster Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order, who were able to save millions (of a planet of billions) the resultant death toll was the single highest in the galaxy since the destruction of Alderaan.

In the wake of Scipio's destruction Leia Organa Solo was able to convince the Republic Senate to offer the Scipio Survivors wards on New Alderaan and immediate membership to the New Republic.

### Financial Crisis

The loss of financial and historical records on Scipio led to a steep downturn in the Galactic economy. With immense reserves of galactic capital lost, the Intergalactic Banking Clans collapse. Under the leadership of Co-Consul Kigheya Raad, the Republic Senate was aimless in their attempts to establish a Republic backed Galactic Reserve. Many systems vied for the opportunity, but when Cato Neimoidia threatened to secede if the matter wasn't handled swiftly, The Republic Reserve was ultimately given to Cato Neimoidia in 16 ABY. In the same year, the Imperial Remnant States, under the direction of Moff Heodias Kinloss, instituted the Imperial Exchequer on Etti IV in the Corporate Sector.

### Galactic Armistice

In 18 ABY, with the arbitration of the Jedi Order, Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, proxies of the other three imperial warlords and New Republic Co-Consuls Raad and Ackbar sign a Galactic Armistice between the Imperial Remnant States, ushering in a new era of galactic peace.
