**Galactic Republic** Democratic federal union; also called Grand Republic or simply the Republic. "Old Republic" = pre-modern Republic until 1032 BBY (also applied retroactively to the modern Republic). "High Republic" = era of peak power, ~500–100 BBY. Founded ~25,000 BBY alongside the Jedi Order. **Government:** Galactic Senate (thousands of senators, member worlds) under the Galactic Constitution. Head of state: Supreme Chancellor, Senate-elected, based on Coruscant (ecumenopolis capital; aka Galactic City). **Scope:** Spanned Core Worlds to Outer Rim; shared sovereignty with member systems; united diverse human and alien species. **Military/Conflicts:** Fought Mandalorians, Zygerrian Slave Empire, Nihil, and multiple Sith Empires. Jedi Order served the Senate as peacekeepers. Fall of the Old Republic ended ancient Jedi-Sith wars; modern Republic rose after, beginning the Republic Era — ~1,000 years of peace. History officially reset; prior ages collectively labeled Old Republic-era. **Decline & Fall:** Separatist Crisis split galaxy into Republic loyalists vs. Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS). Clone Wars fought by Grand Army of the Republic under Jedi Generals against the Separatist Droid Army. War was orchestrated by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine (secretly Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith). Post-war: Palpatine issued Order 66 (Great Jedi Purge), declared himself Galactic Emperor, transforming the Republic into the Galactic Empire. Imperial Senate dissolved later. After the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance reorganized into the New Republic, restoring republican government.

**Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS)** Also: Separatist Alliance/State/Confederacy, or simply Separatists. Galaxy-wide confederacy of outlying systems seceding from the Galactic Republic. Founded by fallen Jedi Master Count Dooku (planet Serenno), who served as Head of State. Core grievances: Republic taxation, Senate corruption, and neglect of Outer Rim worlds by Core-centric government. **Corporate Backers (secret executive council):** - Trade Federation — Viceroy Nute Gunray - Stalgasin Hive — Archduke Poggle the Lesser - InterGalactic Banking Clan — Chairman San Hill - Techno Union — Foreman Wat Tambor - Commerce Guild — Presidente Shu Mai - Corporate Alliance — Magistrate Passel Argente - Retail Caucus **History:** Secessionist movement began ~24 BBY amid political crisis. CIS parliament largely sought independence, not war. Conflict erupted 22 BBY at Geonosis, triggering the Clone Wars — first major galactic conflict in a millennium. **Clone Wars:** Fought across three years on multiple fronts. Unknown to both sides, the war was engineered by Darth Sidious, who controlled the CIS through Dooku (his Sith apprentice) and the Republic secretly as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. CIS suffered major losses in the Outer Rim Sieges; lost heavily at the Battle of Coruscant, where Dooku was killed. General Grievous subsequently neutralized on Utapau, collapsing Separatist leadership and ending the war. **Dissolution:** Surviving CIS leaders gathered on Mustafar expecting peace with the new Galactic Empire. Instead, Darth Vader was dispatched to eliminate them and deactivate the Separatist Droid Army. The Empire absorbed CIS territories, suppressing holdouts. Secessionist sentiment persisted through the Imperial Era into the Galactic Civil War.

**Great Jedi Purge (19–3 BBY)** Also: "War Against the Jedi." Sixteen-year genocide targeting surviving Jedi following Order 66. Executed primarily by the Imperial Inquisitorius until Jedi were all but extinct, after which the Inquisitors themselves disappeared. **Origins:** Rooted in ancient Jedi-Sith wars; Sith nearly eliminated ~1032 BBY but continued operating in secret. Over the following millennium, Darth Sidious (publicly Senator/Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine) engineered the Clone Wars as a pretext to consolidate emergency executive power over the Republic and Senate. Clone troopers were secretly implanted with Sith-designed biochips programmed to trigger total compliance and turn on their Jedi commanders on command. **Initiation:** Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (believed to be the Chosen One) discovered Palpatine's identity as Sidious and alerted Master Mace Windu. Windu and three other Masters confronted Palpatine; Palpatine killed the three Masters and dueled Windu. Skywalker, seeking Sith knowledge to prevent his wife Padmé Amidala's death, betrayed Windu and allowed Sidious to kill him. Skywalker fell to the dark side, becoming Darth Vader, and led the Siege of the Jedi Temple, killing all inside. Simultaneously, Sidious activated Order 66, triggering clone biochips galaxy-wide and causing mass slaughter of Jedi by their own troops. **Aftermath:** Jedi branded traitors. Clone Wars declared over. Sidious proclaimed himself Galactic Emperor, transforming the Republic into the Galactic Empire.

**The Galaxy** One of trillions in the observable universe. Contains ~400 billion stars and ~3.2 billion habitable systems orbiting a supermassive black hole (the Galactic Centre). Diameter ~120,000 light-years across four rotating galactic arms. Home to countless sentient species. Setting for the major civilizations and conflicts of galactic history (Galactic Republic, Empire, New Republic, etc.) and Force-sensitive orders (Jedi, Sith) and cultural groups (Mandalorians). **Satellite Galaxies (4 dwarf companions):** - **Companion Aurek (Rishi Maze):** Accessible via the Rishi system through the Zareca String hyperspace lane; rests vertically to galactic plane. Houses Kamino. - **Companion Besh:** Farther than Aurek; reached only by probe droids. Houses the Tof species. - **Companion Cresh:** Never explored; too distant. - **Companion Grek:** Never explored; lies beyond Companion Besh. **Galactic Regions (inner to outer):** - **Deep Core:** Innermost; densely packed stars; location of the supermassive black hole. - **Core Worlds:** Richest, most populated planets. Coruscant most populous (~3 trillion). - **Colonies:** First region colonized beyond the Core; wealthy, heavily populated; primary economic engine. - **Inner Rim (The Rim):** Strategic military value; less economically dominant. - **Expansion Region:** Resource-rich but largely depleted by corporate exploitation; few economically viable worlds remain. - **Mid Rim:** Least populated; spacious for colonization; economy based on agriculture and low-cost manufacturing. Notable worlds: Naboo, Malastare. - **Outer Rim Territories:** Largest region; distant from Coruscant; dominated by lawlessness, the Hutt Cartel, and criminal organizations. Exceptions near major hyperspace routes. - **Unknown Regions:** Unsurveyed areas; primarily the galaxy's western disk (roughly Bakura to the Imperial Remnant); also includes the galactic halo and satellite galaxies. - **Wild Space:** Informal term for unsettled galactic fringe with negligible development. - **Galactic Rim:** Outermost edge; remote and largely unknown. - **The Slice:** Major corridor between the Perlemian Trade Route and Corellian Run; considered the heart of galactic civilization and commerce. Sub-region: the **Arrowhead** (Core Worlds portion), with Coruscant at its point and vertices at Vento and Corellia.

The Deep Core, sometimes referred to as the Core of the Galaxy, was a brightly lit region of the galaxy that lay at its very heart. Despite the presence of important city-worlds such as Troithe and Empress Teta, much of the Deep Core was a thinly populated and densely packed mass of stars and planets, dangerous to navigate and largely left alone by galactic explorers. At its center existed the Galactic Centre, an ancient, supermassive black hole that bound the galaxy together. Traveling towards the Core and away from the galactic rim was referred to as going "coreward."

**Core Worlds (Galactic Core / Core Territories / Core Systems)** Region bordering the Deep Core inward and the Colonies outward. Wealthiest, most prestigious planets in the galaxy; hubs of fashion, education, finance, and technology. Densely populated and positioned at strategic ends of major trade lanes. Argued birthplace of the human species. Galactic capital Coruscant located here; key worlds include Coruscant, Corellia, Kuat, and Hosnian Prime. **Culture:** Core World design emphasized modularity and customization, reflected in ship construction. Citizens stereotyped as wealthy, snobbish, and speaking with clipped, practiced accents. **Political Role:** Inequality between the Core and the Outer Rim fueled resentment that contributed to major conflicts including the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. During the Republic Era, a Core attack was considered virtually inconceivable, breeding complacency among inhabitants. This changed near the end of the Clone Wars as fear of a CIS strike grew.

The Colonies consisted of worlds colonized by the Core. Many of its planets sat along major trade routes, and were extremely wealthy. Notable planets included Abednedo, Cato Neimoidia, and Carida. The Colonies was a ring-shaped region of the galaxy that sat between the Core Worlds and the Inner Rim, meaning it was considered part of the "inner planets." Important hyperspace routes made the worlds of the Colonies hubs for education, fashion, finance, and technology.

The Inner Rim Territories, also known as the Inner Rim and originally known simply as the Rim, was a region of the galaxy located between the Colonies and the Expansion Region. The planet Onderon was located in the Inner Rim, as well as the planets Riosa, Birren, Bastatha, Arreyel, Li-Toran, Denon, Pasher,[] Gorse and its moon, Cynda, as well as Jakku. The Inner Rim was a region of the galaxy that was considered part of the "inner planets." It consisted of a ring between the Colonies and Expansion Region. Parts of the Inner Rim overlapped with the Western Reaches. During the Clone Wars, the Inner Rim held strategic value to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Separatist Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence crashed onto the Dead Moon of Antar in the Inner Rim during the Battle of the Kaliida Nebula. The Inner Rim world of Onderon later joined Count Dooku's Confederacy. The planet was represented in the Separatist Senate by Mina Bonteri, who was later assassinated by Separatist agents under Dooku.

**Expansion Region** Located between the Inner Rim and Mid Rim. Notable systems/planets: Ghost Nebula sector (Umbara system), Cvetaen, Sumitra, Aquaris, Kerkoidia, Thustra, Sibensko, and Mimban. **Clone Wars:** Strategic battleground due to its position between two rims. - **Mimban:** 224th Division ("Mud Jumpers") fought Separatist forces; armed and trained the indigenous Mimbanese Liberation Army with promise of freedom upon CIS repulsion. - **Umbara (20 BBY):** Prolonged battle between the Grand Army of the Republic and CIS-aligned Umbarans. Besalisk Jedi Master Pong Krell commanded the 501st Legion; deeply unpopular with troops. Krell's treason was revealed and he was executed by trooper Dogma. Republic occupied Umbara afterward.

The Mid Rim Territories were a tranquil region of space that brimmed with varied galactic worlds that boasted successful governments and thriving economies. Distance from the Core gave these worlds less fame or notoriety than planets closer to the galactic center. The Mid Rim was unofficially considered the lawful extent of the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire. Spillover piracy from the Outer Rim affected the region. Those headed towards the Outer Rim saw it as the last taste of civilization, while those heading corewards saw it as the last grasp of frontier living. Notable planets included Naboo, Malastare, Bothawui, Kashyyyk, Ruusan, Ringo Vinda, and Ord Mantell.

The largest region of the known galaxy, the Outer Rim Territories were considered to be lawless, strange, and savage. Criminal organizations, including the Hutt families of Hutt Space, the Black Sun, Pyke Syndicate, and Zygerrian slavers operated in abundance within the region. Notable worlds included Arkanis, Mon Cala, Kessel, Ryloth, Eriadu, Sullust, Geonosis, Mustafar, Crait, Nal Hutta, Cantonica, Hoth, Lothal, Dagobah, Endor, Nar Shaddaa, Florrum, Yavin 4, Saleucami, Scarif, Felucia, Dathomir, and Tatooine.

The Unknown Regions was composed of the westward arm of the galaxy that was mapped, but largely unexplored. Hyperspace anomalies, solar storms, rogue magnetospheres, black holes, gravity wells, and other handicaps to hyperspace travel left it largely unexplored throughout galactic history. Mysterious species shrouded in myth, such the Chiss and Grysk, as well as the deeply-religious Kilji species originated from the Unknown Regions. Notable planets included Csilla, Ilum, Rakata Prime, Exegol, and Ahch-To.

Unlike other regions of the galaxy, Wild Space existed along the entire circumference of the galactic disk and on the borderlands of the Unknown Regions. It was inhabited by sentient species but not fully charted, explored, and civilized. Explorers and cartographers sought their fortune here at their peril.

The Slice, a vast region of space between the Perlemian and the Corellian Run generally considered the center of galactic civilization and commerce. At its tip was the Arrowhead, encompassing the Core Worlds part of the Slice, with Coruscant at its point. The Arrowhead's other two vertices traditionally fell on Vento on the Perlemian and on Corellia itself, on the Run.

**Jedi Order** Monastic, nontheistic religious order devoted to the light side of the Force. Founded on Ahch-To (Unknown Regions); headquarters later moved to the Jedi Grand Temple on Coruscant, which also served as a training academy for younglings and Padawans. Served as guardians of peace and justice in the Galactic Republic. Jedi Knights distinguished by lightsabers and Force ability. **Governance:** Jedi High Council — 12 elected Jedi Masters; highest governing authority. Led by two staff officers: - **Grand Master:** Leader of the Order; reserved for the wisest Master. - **Master of the Order:** Council's appointed leader. **Code:** The Jedi Code governed all members' way of life; violation risked expulsion.

The Sith, also referred to as the Sith Order, was an ancient religious order of Force-wielders devoted to the dark side of the Force. Driven by their emotions, including hate, anger, and greed, the Sith were deceptive and obsessed with gaining power no matter the cost. The order had many forms until it reached the apex of its power under Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith who achieved his order's goal of galactic conquest after a millennium of plotting. Within a generation, however, the deaths of Darth Sidious and Darth Vader marked the end of the Sith Lords.

**The Force** Energy field created by all life; binds the universe together. Concept recorded for 25,000+ years. Known by many names across cultures: Ashla (Lasat), It (dianoga Omi), Life Current (Mustafarian), the Tide (Lew'elan), the Sight (Chiss), Life Wind (Zeffonian), Great Presence (Pathfinder Chaos), Luminous Mist (Mist-Weavers), Unity (Sorcerers of Tund), the Beyond (Magys). Lasats also regarded it as the galaxy's "spirit." **Mechanics:** Resides in all living things. Especially potent in Force-sensitives — individuals with high midi-chlorian concentrations in their blood. Midi-chlorians are microscopic, intelligent symbiotic lifeforms that communicate the Force's will to their host. Droids and artificial constructs exist outside the Force and have no connection to it, though they can be affected by its physical manifestations. **Two Aspects:** - **Living Force:** Energy generated by all life. - **Cosmic Force:** Fed by the Living Force; binds everything together and communicates the Force's will through midi-chlorians. **Two Sides:** - **Light Side:** Adhered to by the Jedi; philosophy of selflessness and service. - **Dark Side:** Pursued by the Sith; philosophy of strength and personal power. Millennia of conflict between Jedi and Sith resulted in Sith extinction and near-annihilation of the Jedi. **Religious Organizations:** Church of the Force, Guardians of the Whills, Jedi Order, Sith Order, among others.

Grand Army—10 systems armies (3,000,000 troopers) led by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The number 3,000,000 was Sifo-Dyas' initial order, as the number of total clones increased during the war. Systems Army—2 Sector Armies (294,912 troopers) led by a High Jedi General (Jedi High Council Member). Sector Army—4 corps (147,456 troopers) led by a Senior Jedi General (Jedi Master). Corps/Division—4 legions (36,864 troopers) led by a Marshal Commander and a Jedi General (Jedi Knight or Master). Legion/Brigade—4 regiments (9,216 troopers) led by a Senior Commander and a Jedi General (Jedi Knight). Regiment—4 battalions (2,304 troopers) led by a Regimental Commander and a Jedi Commander (Jedi Padawan). Battalion—4 companies (576 troopers) led by a Battalion Commander and a Major. Company—4 platoons (144 troopers) led by a Captain and a Lieutenant. Platoon—4 squads (36 troopers) led by a Second Lieutenant and Sergeant-Major. Squad—9 troopers led by a Sergeant and Corporal.

**CIS Leadership Structure** **Tier 1 — True Mastermind:** - **Darth Sidious:** Engineered the entire Separatist movement from behind the scenes; used the CIS as a pawn to destroy the Jedi and establish the Galactic Empire. **Tier 2 — Executive Leadership:** - **Count Dooku (Head of State / Darth Tyranus):** Fallen Jedi Master; public face and political leader; recruited corporate factions. - **General Grievous (Supreme Commander):** Cyborg general; commanded Separatist Droid Armies on the front lines; assumed movement leadership after Dooku's death. **Tier 3 — Separatist Council (Corporate Oligarchy):** Executive governing body and war cabinet; funded the war and supplied droid armies. - Nute Gunray — Viceroy, Trade Federation - San Hill — Chairman, InterGalactic Banking Clan - Wat Tambor — Foreman, Techno Union - Shu Mai — President, Commerce Guild - Passel Argente — Magistrate, Corporate Alliance - Poggle the Lesser — Archduke, Geonosis **Tier 4 — Separatist Parliament:** Composed of disillusioned systems and defecting Republic senators (e.g. Po Nudo, Tikkes). Largely ceremonial; routinely bypassed by Dooku, Grievous, and the Council. **Other Notable Personnel:** Asajj Ventress (Commander, early to mid war), Admiral Trench, General Whorm Loathsom, General Lok Durd, General Kalani, Queen Karina the Great, Queen Miraj Scintel, King Sanjay Rash, Governor Pre Vizsla. **Dissolution:** Grievous killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi following the Battle of Coruscant. Darth Vader dispatched to Mustafar to eliminate the Separatist Council. Droid Army deactivated.

**Grand Army of the Republic (GAR)** Also: Great Army/Republic Army/Grand Army/Galactic Army/clone army. Army branch of the Republic Military for the duration of the Clone Wars. Comprised primarily of human clones grown from bounty hunter Jango Fett's genetic template, supplemented by Jedi Generals, non-clone officers, and a minority of conscripted soldiers. **Origins:** Commissioned secretly by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, who contacted Kamino's government anticipating galactic war. Formally activated when the Separatist Crisis prompted the Senate to grant Palpatine wartime powers. Millions of clones in development at Kaminoan facilities by the war's start. Jedi Order, transitioning from peacekeepers to Jedi Generals, was called upon to lead the GAR. **Clone Wars:** Fought on all fronts for three years, from Outer Rim campaigns to the Separatist assault on Coruscant. War secretly engineered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Darth Sidious), who manipulated both sides. **Dissolution:** Palpatine activated Order 66 in late 19 BBY, forcing clones via biochips to turn on and slaughter their Jedi commanders galaxy-wide and within the Jedi Temple. Following Sidious declaring himself Galactic Emperor, the GAR was absorbed into the new Galactic Empire and reorganized as the Imperial Army; surviving clone troopers became the first generation of stormtroopers.

The Confederacy military, also known as the Separatist military or CIS military, was the armed forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, comprised by various branches including the Separatist Droid Army and the Confederacy Navy. The Droid Army was composed of the Techno Union Droid Army, the Trade Federation military, the Geonosian Droid Army, the IG-series battle Droid Army, the Retail Caucus Droid Army, and the forces of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, Corporate Alliance, and the Commerce Guild, while other worlds, systems, and sectors also provided local military units.

The Galactic Republic Navy, also known as the Galactic Republic fleet, Clone Starfleet, or Republic starfleet, was the navy of the Republic Military of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Consisting of an abundance of warships of large variety, the Republic Navy served to transport the Grand Army of the Republic across the galaxy, while also engaging in ship-to-ship combat with the Confederacy navy, maintaining security for Republic supply lines, and defending the Core Worlds.
