The Jedi Order , a religious order adhering to the light side of the Force , supported the Republic against its enemies. After centuries of conflict, culminating in the fall of the Old Republic , the last war between the ancient Jedi Knights and Sith Lords concluded with the restoration and rise of the modern Galactic Republic, ushering in the Republic Era.

It was an age of unprecedented peace that lasted for over a millennium. The Republic's history was officially reset, and the ages before this event were merged into a collective whole known as the Old Republic Era.

During the High Republic Era , the Republic endeavored to expand galactic civilization through exploration and colonization. Despite this, however, political stagnation later undermined the Republic in the final years of its rule. After the Separatists were defeated and the Jedi purged by clone troopers executing Order 66 , Sidious declared himself Galactic Emperor.

The Emperor 's New Order sought to erase the memory of what was then referred to as the Old Republic. Although such efforts succeeded in dissolving the Imperial Senate as the last trace of the Republic, its legacy inspired a rebellion�the Alliance to Restore the Republic �against the Empire. After the Battle of Endor , the Alliance reorganized itself into the New Republic and claimed victory in the Galactic Civil War , bringing an end to a generation of Imperial rule.

The original Galactic Republic was formed in approximately 25, BBY [11] and rose to power by expanding across the galaxy , [14] with several of its founding members being the planets Alderaan [17] and Chandrila. At least six thousand years before the start of the Galactic Civil War , a rogue faction of Jedi broke away from the Jedi Order , believing that practicing the dark side of the Force would benefit in the furthering of Jedi power.

This schism divided the Order on ideological grounds, igniting an event known as the Hundred-Year Darkness , which, in turn, resulted in the formation of the Sith. The rogue faction was ultimately defeated and they were exiled from the Old Republic into uncharted space. At some point, the Jedi Temple was constructed over the Sith shrine in order to contain its dark energy.

Thousands of years before the Imperial Era , the Corellian royalty sponsored exploration and colonization efforts that helped expand the frontiers of the Old Republic. As the Old Republic spread its influence across the stars, it came into contact with various other powers, one of them being the Zygerrian Slave Empire.

Due to the fact that, at some point in its past, the Old Republic declared slavery illegal and expected other civilizations of the galaxy to comply, it took an aggressive stance against the Zygerrians. The Zygerrian Empire, which was built upon slavery , refused to comply, forcing both the Old Republic and the Jedi to intervene.

After joining together, the Old Republic and Jedi Order sent their armies against the empire after the Zygerrians refused. The Old Republic ultimately came out victorious, driving the practice of slave trading into the underworld, dismantling the empire, and confining what was left of its government to Zygerria , the civilization's homeworld.

Destructive wars were fought between the Sith and the Jedi in the age of the Old Republic. Eventually, the Sith would return in full strength, invading the Old Republic. From there, the dark Order would do battle with the Jedi and the Old Republic. This would lead to a series of conflicts between both groups that would go on for thousands of years until the Old Republic's ultimate collapse.

At some point, the Old Republic came into contact with the Mandalorian people. The warrior civilization began a series of unprovoked military campaigns against the Old Republic. Later on, after all-out war erupted, the Jedi stepped in to defend the Republic. During these wars, both sides would construct massive superweapons powered by large kyber crystals capable of mass destruction.

The Ascendancy encountered a number of aliens before retreating to their borders. With the civilization of the Sith and the warrior culture of Mandalore , and with their beliefs of continual warfare without regard to the Jedi mandate of protecting the weak, the Jedi Order continued to mobilize its forces in an effort to stop enemy incursion into Old Republic space. The power of the Sith Empire increased during the fall of the Old Republic.

The Sith soon achieved near-dominance across the galaxy. At some point the galaxy entered a state known as the Dark Age. During this time, the Jedi-Sith War broke out. Early on in this conflict, the Old Republic capital world of Coruscant was taken over by the Sith during the Battle of Coruscant.

Later on in the war, the Sith were driven off the planet by the Jedi during the Liberation of Coruscant. The Old Republic managed to regain some of its strength after its forces had reclaimed the capital, capable of going on the offensive. A battle between both groups on the planet Mandalore left the planet ravaged and lifeless. The armies of the Old Republic were able to defeat the remaining Sith by taking advantage of the infighting within the Order, which proved to be the Sith's undoing.

Henceforth, their ranks were limited to a Sith Master and a Sith apprentice. The Old Republic was reborn as the modern Galactic Republic after millennia of warfare. As the Old Republic fell apart as a result of its continuous wars, the Jedi Order finally believed itself victorious from its conflict with the Sith, who they believed to have been destroyed completely. Finally, with peace restored to the galaxy, the shattered Old Republic reorganized itself into the modern Galactic Republic, [14] which would usher in over one-thousand years of stability in an epoch known as the Great Peace.

The modern Republic was a democratic union that consisted of multiple star systems spread across the galaxy. The Four Sages of Dwartii were notable in influencing some of its earliest laws.

Coruscant was the galactic seat of power under the Republic, [1] as it had been for thousands of years before the Republic's rebirth. The Republic's head of state, the Supreme Chancellor , was elected by and from the senators, in which the first in a long line of Chancellors [5] was Tarsus Valorum , [7] a Wood Ship Figurehead For Sale Zoo scion of the House Valorum. The Judicial Forces, members of which were simply known as Judicials , trained at the Judicial Academy and came to serve in both ground and space forces, often led by Jedi Commanders to maintain peace throughout the galaxy.

The High Republic Era saw the Galactic Republic reach the pinnacle of its power, its influence spreading to even the farthest and less settled regions of the galaxy by BBY [42] during the chancellery of Lina Soh. Lacking a formal military, the Republic was protected by a small peacekeeping fleet known as the Republic Defense Coalition.

Jedi Master Avar Kriss was overseeing the rescue effort until she detected a large container of liquid tibanna threatening the system's R-class star. Kriss and the other Jedi left the Third Horizon to move the container with the Force, while the RDC focused on evacuating the remaining refugees.

Commerce guilds generated massive profits by investing in the Republic's expansionist policy. For centuries, the Galactic Republic expanded not through force but by quietly exerting a strong magnetic pull towards neighboring systems.

The promise of trade with Core World markets held many systems in sway, inexorably luring non-member worlds into tighter cooperation with the state body. Despite this, the Republic remained slow to invite new systems into its fold, as the addition of new territories diminished the political power of existing senators.

New member states invariably aligned themselves with local galactic power blocs, while most senators who gave the invitations represented systems in the Core. As a result, the Galactic Center represented the beating heart of the Republic that habitually drew wealth and power from the Wooden Sail Ship Model Kits For Sale hinterlands, with most senators dismaying at the extension of services and protection to outlying worlds.

Consequently, many useful star systems were left waiting�some for centuries�for the body politic to admit their world as a member of the Congress, even though it came at the cost of the body's overall power. As time went by the Republic stood firm, becoming increasingly powerful. As a result, the galaxy remained free of any full-scale war for centuries. However, many of the bureaucrats and senators that ran the government continued to work for their own profit rather than the common good.

Greed, corruption and internal strife slowly began destroying the government from within. Adventurous pioneers found themselves granted permission by Coruscant to settle new territories and establish trading colonies to feed the Core with the goods and raw materials for its continual self-enrichment.

Many new systems, finding themselves lacking the funds to mine, process, and ship their products to market, were forced to secure high-interest loans from the InterGalactic Banking Clan , whereupon many, unable to repay their debts, found themselves as mere client worlds to the Muun bankers.

As time progressed, the laborious task of astrogating by hyperwave beacons �which required numerous reversions to realspace �became simplified with the founding of new hyperlanes such as the Hydian Way. Many systems, eager to benefit from the opportunities offered by charting hyperlanes through their system, sought to influence the Republic Senate to put themselves on the galactic map.

The Republic's doctrine of manifest destiny led to the colonization of the Outer Rim Territories. Culturally, Coruscanti fashion, art, drama and literature saw receptive audiences across the galaxy. Seeking to impress visitors from the Core, many worlds sought to build lavish mansions that imitated the architectural style of the Inner Core.

Despite this, many Coruscanti looked with disdain on what was in reality nothing more than a gaudy impersonation. To them, these lifeforms on the galaxy's fringes appeared barbaric, with most worlds still lacking weather control or struggling with geological disturbances and food shortages.

Additionally, many outlying worlds, lacking the protection of a federal military found themselves continually harassed by numerous pirates and criminal organizations, further ingraining the long-held view that those from the galaxy's outlying settlements lacked cultural refinement and basic civility. A deep-rooted hatred and distrust grew over the centuries between the galaxy's outer fringes and the cosmopolitan Core, with those in the hinterlands gradually coming to believe themselves the victims of social and economic injustices.

As a result of the perceived inability of the Judicial Forces in protecting outlying territories, who were often withheld in intervening after many far-flung worlds refused to provide the Core Worlds with profitable deals, the Outer Rim world of Eriadu �one of the most politically, culturally and economically developed worlds�formed the Outland Regions Security Force for the protection of the Seswenna sector.

Comprising an amalgam of ships, it was funded primarily by off-world loans and supplied with laser and ion cannons acquired from arms merchants who had for centuries been ignoring a Republic ban on the sale of weaponry to member worlds. While the Outland Regions Security Force at first lacked success, it soon came to be renowned for its efficiency at dealing with raiders, especially after Wilhuff Tarkin was accepted into Outland's anti-piracy task force, in which he was known for outsmarting and outmaneuvering his opponents.

The Galactic Senate was mired in political corruption during the Republic's final years. Yet despite Outland's best efforts, the Outer Rim Territories continued to fall victim to increasing corporate interests from the Core, with the monolithic Trade Federation expanding its reach a year before the Invasion of Naboo in both the Outer Rim and the Galactic Senate by utilizing loopholes in existing free-trade legislation.

Shortly before the Invasion of Naboo , a trade summit was held on the Outer Rim planet of Eriadu in which Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum was turned away by Wilhuff Tarkin, who was hoping to reduce the influence of the Chancellor who some already expected to lose the next election in order to support Senator Sheev Palpatine , who had earlier helped Tarkin gain entrance into the Judicial Academy and supported his ascension as Governor of Eriadu.

Despite the best efforts of the well-meaning Chancellor Valorum, [49] the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo over disputes about plasma exports. Amidala undertook a journey to Coruscant to plead her homeworld 's case to the Senate, but the damage to the Naboo Royal Starship 's T hyperdrive generator necessitated a detour to the remote world of Tatooine for repairs.

Acting on Gunray's report, Sidious instructed his Sith apprentice , Darth Maul , to locate and reacquire the queen as only she had the authority to sign a treaty making the Federation's occupation of Naboo legal. Although Maul tracked them to Tatooine, he failed to prevent the Jedi from escaping with Amidala on her repaired starship. In addition, Jinn took custody of an emancipated slave child, Anakin Skywalker , whom he found to be exceptionally strong with the Force.

Believing that he had found the prophesied Chosen One , Jinn brought Skywalker to Coruscant to begin his Jedi training. Senator Palpatine and Chancellor Valorum greeted Amidala upon her arrival to the capital. Though Valorum assured her of the Senate's distress over the situation, Palpatine warned her that neither the Senate nor the Chancellor were likely to intervene unless they made a change in leadership.

As Naboo's galactic representative, Palpatine served as Amidala's advisor and confidant. He told her that the Senate was corrupt, and the Chancellor a figurehead to the bureaucrats. When the Trade Federation's delegates forced Valorum to adhere to bureaucratic procedure, Amidala countered by calling for a Vote of No Confidence in him, following Palpatine's advice despite her initial reluctance to denounce a strong supporter of her world.

Believing the Republic no longer adhered to its founding principles, Amidala returned to her planet to liberate the people of Naboo without the Senate's intervention. Before leaving Coruscant, Palpatine informed her of his nomination to succeed Valorum.

His competitors were Senator Bail Antilles of Alderaan and Senator Ainlee Teem of Malastare , but Palpatine assured Amidala that he would win the election through widespread sympathy for Naboo's plight. He vowed to dedicate his term to ending corruption, and Amidala implored him to restore compassion to the Senate.

The victors of the Battle of Naboo celebrated their triumph in the liberated city of Theed. Unable to count on Republic aid, Amidala turned to Naboo's Gungan population. Despite ill feelings between their segregated societies, the occupation of their shared homeworld allowed Amidala to mend their relationship through diplomacy.

The Gungans were forced to surrender after their defenses collapsed, and several Naboo pilots were killed in the space battle. However, Amidala's team infiltrated the Theed Royal Palace where they captured Gunray, and with the Saak'ak destroyed by Skywalker, the droids were deactivated. In the aftermath of the Battle of Naboo , Gunray was taken into Republic custody and the newly-elected Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine arrived in Theed where he and the queen congratulated each other on their recent success.

The new Chancellor said that they would work together bringing peace and prosperity to the Republic. Following the Naboo Crisis, the Trade Federation monopoly on the Outer Rim was broken, all while Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum's political standing suffered from the crisis along with other scandals.

In his wake, Palpatine was appointed to the position of Supreme Chancellor, eventually creating an image of himself as a mild-mannered servant of the common good, despite his true intentions. However, growing tensions between the Core and Outer Rim worlds gradually increased to the point where many believed that a war was imminent. Undeterred, Sifo-Dyas contacted the Kaminoans , known for their clone hatcheries, and secretly commissioned them to create a clone army, pretending to represent the Galactic Senate.

Unbeknownst to Sifo-Dyas, Darth Sidious had earlier contacted Prime Minister Lama Su , and convinced him to implant a behavioral modification biochip into the clones during the third stage of their development to turn against the Jedi at a mere command.

With Sifo-Dyas originally heading to the planet in order to negotiate a dispute that could have resulted in a full-scale gang war on Coruscant, Sifo-Dyas was suddenly re-assigned to Felucia when his shuttle was abruptly shot down over the planet. Bringing his body to Felucia, where it was cremated by tribal inhabitants, Dooku managed to trick the Jedi Council into believing Sifo-Dyas had been killed by the Felucians, [50] all while erasing the existence of Kamino from the Jedi Archives.

In the decade after the Invasion of Naboo, the whereabouts of Count Dooku were scarcely known, with many believing he merely wished to form an offshoot of the Jedi Order. In reality, Dooku manipulated galactic events to foment political turmoil on a variety of worlds including Kashyyyk , Sullust and Onderon.

Seeking to create a southern Separatist sphere of influence by bringing Yag'Dhul and Sluis Van to his side, Dooku needed to persuade the now prosperous world of Eriadu to join the Separatists. However, Wilhuff Tarkin was pressured to declare his loyalties especially after Dooku commandeered a HoloNet station in the Raxus system and denounced the Galactic Republic, effectively setting the stage for the Separatist Crisis.

Tarkin ultimately sided with the Galactic Republic in his stern belief that an inefficient yet unified galaxy was better than a fractured one. Chancellor Palpatine's negotiations with the Separatists were unsuccessful, leading the Galactic Senate to consider the Military Creation Act.

Senator Amidala led the opposition against the bill, believing it would make war between the Republic and the Separatists inevitable. Following an assassination attempt on Amidala, the chancellor ordered her to return to Naboo while the Jedi investigated the plot against her. The Jedi's subsequent discovery of two secret armies, the clones and the battle droids , influenced the Senate's next actions. The Loyalists agreed that the Republic needed the clone army, yet they felt that the Senate would fail to pass the Military Creation Act before the Separatists' attacked the Republic with their droid forces.

When Vice Chair Mas Amedda suggested that they resolve the crisis by bestowing emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine, Representative Binks proposed as much to the Senate who passed his bill, allowing Palpatine to officially recognize the clone army as the Grand Army of the Republic. A self-proclaimed proponent of democracy and Republic patriot, Palpatine assured the senators that he intended to return the powers that they had given him after the crisis was over.

Simultaneously, the various members of the newly-founded Confederacy of Independent Systems evacuated the planet as Republic clone troopers gradually forced the droid army into full retreat. The battle was hailed as a Republic victory, although Yoda took the opposite position as he knew that war would spread across the galaxy. Count Dooku traveled to an industrial sector on Coruscant to inform his master that the war had begun as planned, all while the Jedi High Council pondered Dooku's warning that the Dark Lord of the Sith controlled the Senate.

In the aftermath of Geonosis, the deadly three-year conflict that engulfed the galaxy into chaos officially began, forcing more and more worlds to choose sides between the Galactic Republic and its clone army or the ever-expanding Confederacy of Independent Systems and its Separatist Droid Army.

With the war well under way, numerous diplomatic envoys engaged in several attempts to sway local worlds to join the Galactic Republic, with Jedi Master Yoda seeking to win the support of the Toydarian King Katuunko , while Sith assassin Asajj Ventress sought to disrupt the meeting, and instead sought to win the support of the king to join the Confederacy.

Throughout the Clone Wars, numerous attempts were made against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's life, including an kidnapping attempt on Naboo masterminded by Count Dooku [54] as well as the hostage taking of members of the Galactic Senate by notorious bounty hunter Cad Bane.

Attempts at biological weapons were launched by Separatist scientist Nuvo Vindi , who attempted to re-create the ancient Blue Shadow Virus capable of killing millions across the galaxy, [56] while the Republic developed the experimental electro-proton bomb , which could send out an electric pulse upon detonation capable of deactivating an entire droid army. Following the Battle of Malastare , the Republic also attempted to create an impenetrable armor by unlocking the biological secrets of the Zillo Beast , an ancient creature from the Mid Rim , only to have the attempt end in failure, sending the beast on a rampage across Coruscant.

After its death at the hands of a Jedi task force, the beast was secretly cloned by orders from the Supreme Chancellor himself. The Republic adopted the Wood Ship Figurehead For Sale 77 clone army to defeat the Separatists, but the clone troopers were also at the disposal of the Senate.

The Coruscant Guard was formed by clone shock troopers stationed on the Republic capital; [59] senatorial delegates were accompanied by clone bodyguards; [54] and the clones became involved in the Republic's internal disputes by acting as enforcers of the Senate.

The Senate Guard still accompanied dignitaries on off-world missions, [61] but as the war continued the Coruscant Guard became increasingly responsible for the security of the Supreme Chancellor [54] and the delegates of the Senate. The government of Pantora claimed sovereignty over the planet, which resulted in open conflict between the Pantorans and the native Talz.

Although the clones served under the Jedi, they were also beholden to the authority of the Pantoran leader, Chairman Chi Cho , and the Pantoran senator Riyo Chuchi. Despite their waning influence in the galaxy, the Jedi continued to lead the Republic's forces but sustained many casualties in the process.

Their role in the conflict was opposed not only by civilians, [63] but also the Republic officer Wilhuff Tarkin who wanted to revoke the Order's military authority, convinced that the Jedi Code was a hindrance on the Republic war effort. The war also served as a means for Sheev Palpatine to amass more emergency powers, cementing his position as Supreme Chancellor far longer than it technically allowed, all while continuing to centralize political and military authority within the Office of the Chancellor , which included putting the InterGalactic Banking Clan under the Chancellor's oversight.

The Republic invaded Utapau with the goal of bringing a decisive end to the Clone Wars. After nearly three years of constant warfare, the war reached its climax during the Battle of Coruscant , where both factions engaged in a massive naval and ground battle over the Republic's capital world.

The confrontation ultimately saw the Republic dealing a severe blow to the Confederacy with the loss of a portion of its fleet as well as its head of state, Count Dooku, at the hands of Anakin Skywalker.

Yet even as the Republic pressed on with the Outer Rim Sieges, determined to bring an end to the civil war, the Jedi High Council had grown increasingly wary of Chancellor Palpatine. Over the course of the Clone Wars, the Chancellor's wartime authority reached unprecedented levels at the expense of the Senate, some of whom also grew concerned for the future of the Republic. As such, members of the Council and the Senate began to consider their options for the preservation of democracy.

Whereas the Delegation of 2, sought to petition the Chancellor to relinquish his emergency powers, the Council contemplated the possibility of removing him by force and taking over the Senate in order to secure a peaceful transition of power. Ultimately, their suspicion of the Chancellor was vindicated when Skywalker uncovered the truth: Sheev Palpatine and Darth Sidious, the Sith mastermind behind the Clone Wars, were one and the same.

Acting swiftly on this revelation, the Council attempted to arrest the Sith Lord before his plan could come to fruition, consequently leading to a lightsaber duel in which Sidious struck down Agen Kolar , Saesee Tiin , and Kit Fisto before Mace Windu disarmed him.

Given the Chancellor's control over the Senate and the courts, Windu deemed Sidious too dangerous to live. However, Skywalker argued that execution was contrary to the Jedi way, although his personal attachment to Amidala also influenced him at this critical point as he believed that Sidious could save her life. In a moment of desperation, Skywalker disarmed Windu, which allowed Sidious to kill the Jedi Order's champion with a torrent of Force lightning.

Having chosen the path of the dark side, the fallen Jedi Knight became Darth Vader and subsequently led the attack on the Jedi Temple while Sidious issued Order 66 to the Grand Army, causing the clone troopers to execute their Jedi leaders across the galaxy.

The Senate held an emergency session at the Chancellor's request. Sidious publicly denounced the Jedi Order; he accused them of plotting to assassinate him in order to take control of the Senate, and by extension, the Republic.

Meanwhile, Vader undertook a mission to Mustafar where he personally executed the Separatist Council. The Galactic Republic officially became the Galactic Empire , [2] and democracy was supplanted by the fascist New Order. Vader deactivated the droid army soon after killing the Separatist leaders on Mustafar. The Clone Wars was over, and its conclusion marked the dawn of the Imperial Era. In the decades after the dissolution of the Galactic Republic, numerous individuals still clung to the memory of the now Old Republic and its fabled Jedi warriors, while many individuals who knew the Jedi in person refused to believe the Emperor's account of a "Jedi Rebellion.

Nevertheless, a majority of galactic citizens eventually came to believe and actively support this view, believing the Republic to have grown weak and corrupt, necessitating Palpatine's rise to power. In order to destroy the memory of the previous government, any visible reminder of the Old Republic was quickly removed, with many organizational changes altering the names of various locales and institutions, while architecture was molded to a more severe and dark aesthetic.

With the renowned Galactic Senate being renamed the Imperial Senate and the Senate Plaza renamed Imperial Plaza and a giant statue of the Emperor erected in it, one could almost forget the Republic even existed. However, the memory of the Republic as a force of freedom and justice could never be fully destroyed as long as those who still believed in it lived, thus spurring numerous resistance movements throughout the Empire's reign such as the Free Ryloth Movement [68] and Berch Teller's rebel cell.

However, the New Republic disavowed some aspects of the Old Republic, particularly the legacy of its final years under the chancellery of Sheev Palpatine. Such efforts succeeded in convincing former Separatist worlds to support the New Republic, [71] but also led to political partisanship in the Senate where Populists favored the sovereignty of member worlds while Centrists lobbied to increase the central government's power and military spending.

The story of Old Republic Regent Hylemane Lightbringer and his supposed immortality would be remembered in history texts along with Old Republic music such as the Sestina of Imperator Vex , which would continue to be sung even in the months following the Battle of Endor.

Historians rebuked the generation that witnessed the Republic's downfall, holding the people of this last era of peace responsible for the death of liberty. Hailed as one of the greatest political achievements in the galaxy's history, [35] the Galactic Republic was described by the historian Janyor as "the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time.

Historians romanticized the Age of the Republic, calling it the "last era of peace"�notwithstanding isolated conflicts, which were notably few and swiftly resolved by Jedi mediators�before the rise of vast warships and planet-killing superweapons. The Republic in its final years, however, was remembered with less fondness.

Historians regarded the people of that time as a generation of apathy and indolence, in which galactic senators cared more about power and luxury than representing their constituents or addressing the perceived inefficiencies of the government. The civilian population was also seen as a contributing factor to the Republic's demise, with Core Worlders being more invested in podracing events in the distant Outer Rim Territories than the politics that caused dissatisfaction to fester and grow into the Separatist Crisis.

Ultimately, historians rebuked this generation and held it responsible for the collapse of the "comfortable civilization" that defined the modern Galactic Republic. Executive power was vested in the Supreme Chancellor, although this office was largely powerless and hampered by bureaucratic procedure, particularly during the chancellery of Finis Valorum.

Nevertheless, the Chancellor had the authority to issue executive orders summoning the Senate to an emergency session [9] or sending senators away from Coruscant for security reasons. The chancellery of Sheev Palpatine shifted the balance of power in favor of the Chancellor's office, a consequence of the wartime powers that the Senate gave its leader on the eve of the Clone Wars.

Near the war's end, Palpatine appointed Anakin Skywalker as his own personal representative on the Jedi High Council, which the Jedi considered an overreaching exercise of the Chancellor's authority.

By then, Palpatine had managed to remain in power by exceeding the term limits of his office, an action that the Senate supported. Prior to Palpatine's rise to power, the Galactic Senate was the ruling body of the Republic. Many worlds across the galaxy were represented in the Senate which was headquartered on Coruscant, capital of the Republic.

With the Senate hamstrung by political infighting and a strict adherence to protocol, it failed to bring swift resolutions to either the Invasion of Naboo [9] or the Separatist Crisis. However, the decision to grant him emergency powers eroded their authority, allowing Palpatine to amass even more power at the expense of the Senate. At the time of the Clone Wars, the Senate was divided between supporters of the war effort and pacifists who sought a peaceful end to the fighting.

The Judicial Department was an umbrella department over the Republic courts, including the Supreme Court , the highest court of law in the Republic. Propaganda in the Galactic Republic had long served to sway public opinion in favor of Republic policies, from expanding into the Outer Rim Territories, to waging a pan-galactic war against the Separatists.

As such, the organization's mission was twofold: to promote patriotism in the Republic, and to brand the Separatists as traitors. Throughout the conflict, COMPOR propagandists sought to sustain the war effort by keeping public opinion on the side of the Republic's military forces and their commander-in-chief, respectively the clone army and Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine.

Following an early attempt to utilize the Jedi Order as a propaganda tool, COMPOR focused increasingly on the Grand Army of the Republic, portraying clone troopers as a symbol of unity that the citizeny was encouraged to support. The Republic intervened in the internal conflict of an independent world, believing Carnelion IV possessed valuable resources. Carnelion IV did not join the Republic because the Senate had little economic interests in the planet.

During the Clone Wars, the Republic tolerated the political stance of neutral governments, among which were the New Mandalorians. However, the invasion was called off due to evidence that the Senate's pretext for war�the testimony of Deputy Minister Jerec �had been falsified. The neutral world of Mandalore hosted a failed peace conference between the Republic and the Separatists.

Mandalore was the site of attempted peace talks between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, with Duchess Satine overseeing the conference.

Both governments dispatched their delegates to the neutral world in addition to Republic Senate Commandos and Separatist BX-series droid commandos. Negotiations broke down, however, allowing the war to continue without interruption.

Chancellor Palpatine claimed the Republic was always happy to aid a neutral star system during their times of crisis, [80] but the Republic declined military aid to neutral governments as a matter of policy. When the InterGalactic Banking Clan began favoring the Separatists at the Republic's expense, the Republic retaliated by deploying an invasion force to occupy the planet Scipio.

Although the Jedi were concerned about getting drawn into the Mandalorian civil war while in the midst of the ongoing Clone Wars, especially when the world in question was still officially neutral, they permitted a division of the st Legion to support the Nite Owls in the Siege of Mandalore.
