Galactic Republic

A vast interstellar federation consisting of millions of inhabited worlds across the known galaxy, the Galactic Republic reigned as the dominant galactic power for thousands of generations. Remembered fondly by some for its founding principles of peace, democracy, and equality which it strove to uphold, and resentfully by others for the corrupt, bureaucratic monolith which it became, the Republic had persisted through both innumerable ages of great conflict and strife as well as countless golden eras of peace and prosperity, with its long and complex history, for better or for worse, often depply interwoven with that of the Jedi Order, whom had, since the earliest days of the Republic, served as its peacekeepers and protectors, as well as, in times of great need, even its warriors.
