Historical Information

The New Republic was the name of the galactic government established by the Alliance to Restore the Republic to replace the Galactic Empire after the Battle of Endor. It was less often referred to as the New Galactic Republic or the Second Galactic Republic. Like its predecessor, it was often referred to as the Republic.

Formed in 5 ABY, after the dissolution of the former Alliance of Free Planets (which was formed directly after the Battle of Endor as an intermediate government), it was to become one of the dominant governmental authorities of the galaxy. The "New" Republic was supposed to be a sort of continuation of the original Galactic Republic that had become known as the Old Republic at that time.

The New Republic was founded on the same premise that the old Galactic Republic was thousands of generations earlier—to have a representative parliamentary body govern the galaxy in a supposedly fair and equal manner—and it was designed to eradicate the shortcomings that brought about the Galactic Republic's downfall. The Vast Empire remains certain that only the Empire may fix those shortcomings, but does acknowledge that the New Republic is better than the Old Republic in some aspects.

Because of the restoration of the Old Republic, the Empire sometimes referred to the New Republic as the Old Order to oppose their New Order while in decline.
