Galactic Republic (AU)

For thousands of years the Galactic Republic has ruled the galaxy, but in 18bby it fell thanks to the scheming of the Banite Sith over a thousand years, but in the Chosen's one choice it did not fall and this page covers lore for this alternate galactic republic.

## History

Twenty five thousand years ago the Republic was formed, and for a while it was mostly peaceful but over time a number of wars would be fought as the Republic expanded,

But in around 2000 BBY the New Sith wars began. which a thousand years later would lead to the formation of the Brotherhood of Darkness, who found the powerful force user Dressel, later known as Bane, who through his machinations founded the Banite sith, wiping out other sith, and a thousand years later, almost the republic and (Jedi for a time)

But instead Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu Slew the last of the Banite Sith Darth Sidious who had become Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic , prompting an emergency election that ended up with Bail Organa being elected Supreme Chancellor after the first choice Padme Amidala both through due to not wanting the responsibilitie, or the birth of her twins which happened the day after the election of Bail Organa. Although it was at first kept secret who their father was, But it was eventually revealed that Anakin Skywalker was the father, which caused scandal as the Hero of the Republic was punished by being cast from the Jedi Order.

But he became Bail organa's right hand man and together they spent the four years of Bail's first term purging the republic of corruption and Palpatine's cronies.

## Military:

After Palpatine was ousted from power, and most of the Confederacy was dealt with, the Republic had a problem, and that was what to do with the no longer trustworthy Clone Army, and so they were all given an honourably discharge and plots of land at fifty acres per year of service for enlisted and seventy five acres per year of service for Officers.

Instead the brand new Republic High Guard was made, made up of volunteers (Including a few thousand carefully vetted Fett clones)

### Republic Guard:

A combination of Army and Marines the Republic Guard replaced the republic Army and is responsible for just about all ground operations and boarding operations. with their main operations being against pirates or wannabe warlords in between the first and second Clone Wars.

### Republic Navy:

All factions need a navy to control their fleets, and the Republic is no different, so the Republic Navy continues to operate, mostly using Battlecarriers as they favour a fighter/small ship heavy doctrine with heavy ships as support and transport or intimidation.

### Republic Knights:

After the first Clone Wars the jedi refused to do the Republic's fighting for them, and so Bail Organa & Anakin Skywalker formed the Republic Knights to replace the Jedi with Anakin Skywalker himself becoming their leader.

## Government

The Republic's government begins at the system level where all systems are given the right to appoint their own heads of state. However above the systems are the Sectors, usually comprised of a hundred inhabited systems, however different systems have different sizes for a number of reasons, but no matter the size of the sector all have a Senator who represents them in the senate and a governor elected by the system heads of state who unites them and has control of the sectors military.

there are also the twenty oversectors who are each ruled by a Governor appointed by the Senate itself in a grand vote.
