The '''[[New Republic]]''' (often abbreviated as '''NR''') is a sovereign [[:Category:Governments|government]] and the foremost advocate of democracy in [[the galaxy]]. Originally known as the [[Rebel Alliance]], the Alliance controversially merged in [[Year 8]] with the [[SoroSuub Corporation]] and reformed itself as the New Republic. Its current head of state is the fourteenth [[New Republic Chief of State|Chief of State]] Jin Solas. It is the only government with annual elections for its leader, and is also known to have an elected legislature. It is also one of the founding members of the [[Galactic Alliance]].
  
 +
The New Republic holds dominion over numerous sectors. Its capital planet of [[Republica (Planet) | Republica]] is a ecumenopolis much like [[Coruscant]]. It is believed that, while the New Republic cannot deny the [[Galactic Empire]]'s existence and control over Coruscant, the New Republic seeks to recreate the [[Galactic Republic|Old Republic]] in its own territories away from the Empire's control.

:''Main article: [[History of the New Republic]]''
  
 +
===The Beginning===
 +
Late in the Year 7, members of Rebel Alliance High Command and SoroSuub Corporation Middle Management began to discuss the possibility of a merger between the two groups, realizing that the combination of the Alliance's military might and SoroSuub's economic prosperity would give the Galactic Alliance the greatest chance of defeating the Empire. Delegates from the Rebel Alliance, such as [[Phymp Mindano]], [[Nim Orlan]], and [[David Kellar]], and delegates from SoroSuub, including [[Adam A Flynn]], and [[Maradin Sandwalker]] had a conference where they set out the initial plans for a new government, which they called the New Republic. Using the Old Republic's Constitution as a model, they began writing a new Constitution for the new government.
  
 +
When the leaders of each group announced the potential merger to the members of their factions, there were mixed reactions. Some agreed that the joining of the two groups would create a powerful new government. Others did not care for the idea, arguing that they were proud to be a member of their current group under their current name. In order to get an official measure of how many people were for the merger, or against it, both sides held a poll. Both the Rebel Alliance members and SoroSuub members had a majority vote, 'Aye' in favor of the merger.
  
 +
Once both sides had officially approved the merger, the completed Constitution was presented to the public for approval. A referendum vote was held, and the New Republic's Constitution was ratified on Year 8, Day 98. The day became known as Restoration Day, a celebration of the restoration of the Old Republic.
  
 +
With the Constitution ratified and the New Republic officially formed, the various departments began merging. [[SoroSuub logistics]], which had been housed in [[SoroSuub Munitions]], moved into [[Corellian Transport Services]] under the leadership of SSC Logistics Director [[Van Harrad]] as well as CTS Director [[Azzi Blackgate]] and Assistant Director [[Kit Lorcan]]. [[Liberty Medical Center]] and [[Riviera Medical]] merged together into [[Republic Medical]] under the leadership of [[Miko Niepe]]. Members of the SoroSuub military were transferred into previously-Alliance battle groups. The various nationalized companies of the Republic and its military began to collaborate on production, mining, and construction projects.
  
The '''[[New Republic]]''' (NR) is a galactic government and one of the foremost polities seeking galactic primacy in the [[Galaxy]]. Originally entitled the [[Rebel Alliance]], the government controversially merged in [[Year 8]] with the [[SoroSuub Corporation]] and rechristened itself as the New Republic. Its current leader is the sixth [[Chief of State]] [[Taka Aioko]].  
+
With all the merging came some expected problems. Former members of the Rebel Alliance and SoroSuub Corporation began to disagree on how things should be run, and there were times of tension in the beginning. Over time, these problems were solved and the two groups unified with similar ideals and the goal to defeat the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]].
  
==History==
+
During this time the first [[New Republic Advisory Council]] was formed. Initial plans had SoroSuub’s Chancellor [[Adam A Flynn]] serving as [[New Republic Advisory Council#Ministry of State|Minister of State]], with the members of SoroSuub’s Middle Management team filling the roles of civil Advisory Council members. The Rebel Alliance’s High Command members would fill the military positions. This changed when just after the merger the co-leaders of the SoroSuub CorporationSoroSuub, Adam A Flynn and [[Ingo R Vailis]], resigned their positions and decided to leave the Republic.

Late in the [[year 7]], members of [[Rebel Alliance High Command]] and [[SoroSuub Corporation]] Middle Management began to discuss the possibility of a merger between the two groups, realizing that the combination of the [[Rebel Alliance|Alliance's]] military might and [[SoroSuub Corporation|SoroSuub's]] economic prosperity would give the [[Galactic Alliance]] the greatest chance of defeating the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]].

Using the Old Republic's Constitution as a model, they began writing a new Constitution for the new government.

=== The End ===
  
When the leaders of each group announced the potential merger to the members of their factions, there were mixed reactions. Some agreed that the joining of the two groups would create a powerful new government. Others did not care for the idea, arguing that they were proud to be a member of their current group, under their current name. In order to get an official measure of how many people were for the merger, or against it, both sides held a poll. Both the [[Rebel Alliance]] members and [[SoroSuub Corporation|SoroSuub]] members had a majority vote, 'Aye' in favor of the merger.
+
On Year 21 Day 16, newly elected Chief of State [[Galen Darksol]] surrendered to the [[Galactic Empire]] dissolving the New Republic. In a series of devastating campaigns known as [[The War for the Republic]], the Imperial Union soon occupied most every world once governed by the New Republic. The remnants of the former-Republic's military that escaped capture or destruction reformed under the [[Rebel Alliance]] and formed a coalition with [[The Resistance]] and other members of the [[Galactic Alliance]] to liberate the planets now under Imperial rule. While the rebel coalition succeeded in driving the Imperial Union back to their original borders, suspicion and disillusionment prevented the various groups from reforming the Republic.
  
Once both sides had officially approved the merger, the completed Constitution was presented to the public for approval. A referendum vote was held, and the New Republic's Constitution was ratified on [[Year 8]], Day 98. The day became known as Restoration Day, a celebration of the restoration of the Old Republic.

The New Republic is the only recognized government with an elected government. It was agreed in the formation of the New Republic that an elected process is key to a free society. While many outsiders see this as a huge risk, the New Republic has stood by its government consistently arguing it is the most free of any government. While the Chief of State and the Senate are elected representatives, the Advisory Council is an appointed body designed to lead departments within the New Republic.
  
With the Constitution ratified and the New Republic officially formed, the various departments began merging. SoroSuub logistics, which had been housed in [[SoroSuub Munitions]] moved into [[Corellian Transport Services]], under the leadership of SSC Logistics Director Van Harrad, and [[Corellian Transport Services|CTS]] Director and Assistant Director Azzi Blackgate, and Kit Lorcan. [[Liberty Medical Center]] and [[Riviera Medical]] merged together into [[Republic Medical]], under the leadership of Miko Niepe. Members of the SoroSuub military were transferred into [[Rebel Alliance|Alliance]] battlegroups, and the various nationalized companies of the Republic began to collaborate on production, mining, and construction projects.
+
===Chief of State===
 +
:''Main article: [[New Republic Chief of State]]''
 +
[[Image:New Republic Chief of State Seal.png|190px|thumb|The Chief of State is the leader of the New Republic.]]
 +
The title of Chief of State is given to the Head of State the New Republic. It is the New Republic's elected leader. As head of the Executive Branch of the New Republic and Commander in Chief, the Chief of State is ultimately responsible for leading the government in both name and fact. In addition he or she serves as the link between the Advisory Council and the Senate of the New Republic, bringing proposals and advice from the Advisory Council to the legislature. The Chief of State is also responsible for breaking tied votes within the Senate. Furthermore, the Chief of State is responsible for management of the Senate elections and has the power to grant pardons to citizens of the New Republic.
  
However, with all the merging came some problems. Former members of the [[Rebel Alliance|RA]] and [[SoroSuub Corporation|SSC]] began to disagree on how things should be run, and there were times of tension in the beginning. Over time, the problems were solved and the two groups unified, to form a strong Republic, with similar ideals and the goal to defeat the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]].
+
The Chief of State is normally elected by simple majority. Campaigning is often times a difficult task. With many planets under the New Republican flag, candidates find themselves speaking to billions in an attempt to gather support for their campaign. If there is no candidate with over 50% of the votes, a run-off begins between the top two candidates. This guarantees that a candidate will win the election.
  
During this time, the first NR Advisory Council was formed. Initial plans had [[SoroSuub Corporation|SoroSuub’s]] Chancellor Adam A Flynn serving as Minister of State, with the members of [[SoroSuub Corporation|SoroSuub’s]] Middle Management team filling the roles of civil Advisory Council members. The [[Rebel Alliance|Rebel Alliance’s]] High Command members would fill the military Advisory Council posts. However, just after the merger, the co-leaders of [[SoroSuub Corporation|SoroSuub]], Adam A Flynn, and Ingo R Vailis resigned their positions and decided to leave the Republic. They had each been in leadership positions for years, and as such had grown weary.
+
The current and fourteenth Chief of State is [[Jin Solas]].

===Senate===

{{:New Republic Senate}}
  
With the Advisory Council positions filling in, the need to elect the Republic’s first [[Chief of State]] arose. The first [[Chief of State]] race was initially between multiple candidates; however, after a few drop-outs, two names remained on the final ballot – [[Maradin Sandwalker]] and [[Phymp Mindano]]. Both candidates had been very involved in their former governments, the Republic’s restoration and the writing of the Constitution. In an extremely close election, [[Maradin Sandwalker]] was confirmed as the first Chief of State of the New Republic on [[Year 8]], Day 121.
+
===Advisory Council===
 +

 +
{{:New Republic Advisory Council}}
  
[[Maradin Sandwalker|Maradin]] recognized [[Phymp Mindano|Phymp’s]] experience and dedication, appointing him as Minister of State and declaring him the Republic’s official second-in-command. With Chief of State [[Maradin Sandwalker|Sandwalker’s]] election, and [[Phymp Mindano|Phymp’s]] appointment, the first Advisory Council was officially complete.
+
==Economy and Industry==
 +
The majority of the New Republic's economy existed before its founding, courtesy of the Rebel Alliance and SoroSuub Corporation. The Rebel Alliance and SoroSuub Corporation each brought their unique technologies together as well as their Nationalized Companies. With the assistance of the SoroSuub Corporation's leaders, the New Republic was propelled into extreme wealth and prosperity. Currently, the Ministry of Trade and Industry leads the way in promoting investment and productivity in the New Republican economy.
  
The three military commands were to be led by former members of the [[Rebel Alliance High Command|RA’s High Command]]. Jax Dorvek was appointed High Marshal of Starfighter Command, Edyn Solers was made High General of the Army Command, and Atoris Ligauten filled the position of High Admiral of the Naval Command. All three of the military high command members were under the command of Chief of Military Operations Thies Windu.
+
The New Republic divides its industries into two groups: Nationalized Companies and Private Sector Affiliates.

On the civil side, Gawayne was appointed Minister of Culture. Owyn Darklighter was made Minister of Economic Development, and [[Alph Virphen]] became Minister if Trade and Industry. Nim Orlan continued his directorship of the Center for [[Center For Rebel Intelligence|Rebel Intelligence]], which was renamed to the Center of Republic Intelligence. Jedi Knight Uzziah Akim was appointed as High Ambassador.
+
==Military==
 +
:''Main article: [[New Republic Military]]''
 +
Nearly all governments have standing armies instructed to defend their territory or invade their neighbors, and the New Republic is no different. The New Republic military is composed of three branches: the Naval Command, the Army Command, and Starfighter Command, each designed to perform certain roles. The military has representation in the Advisory Council as well. The military is under the command of the Chief of State and Chief of Military Operations.
  
===Senate Elections===
+
===Naval Command===
 +
Born out of a necessity to have a navy patrol its systems, the New Republic Navy commands the New Republic's capital ships. From the [[Sabaoth Destroyer]] to the [[MC80 Home One Class Star Cruiser|Home One]], the Navy is arguably the most critical line of defense for the New Republic. With the task of carrying hundreds of fighter and bomber squadrons for the Starfighter Command and carrying landing ships for the Army, the Navy could be considered the keystone of the New Republic's armed forces.
  
With the Advisory Council set and [[Chief of State]] elected, it became time for the election of the [[New Republic Senate|New Republic’s first Senate]]. Thirteen sentients ran for a [[New Republic Senate|Senate]] seat in the first election. After much campaigning, where the candidates presented many different views on a number of issues, the election was held. Many New Republic members placed their votes, and when the results were in, all nine [[New Republic Senate|Senate]] seats were filled.
+
The Navy uses a variety of vessels including:
 +
* [[MC80 Home One Class Star Cruiser]]
 +
* [[Sabaoth Destroyer]]
 +
* [[MC-80b]]
 +
* [[MC-80a]]
  
The first [[New Repblic Senate|Senate]] was made up of Azzi Blackgate, Chrono Van Talisman, Dracul Elensar, Eli LaSalle, [[Jake Azzameen]], Kit Lorcan, [[Corvis Orion]], Van Harrad, and Wolfgang Nospe. The first [[New Republic Senate|Senate’s]] official inauguration date is [[Year 8]], Day 139.
+
===Starfighter Command===
 +
While the Navy wages its battles in space, there is a group of pilots who dart around the large capital ships, defending and attacking all at once. They thread through impossible gaps, lead their snubfighters head-on into a volley of lasers, and duel other enemy aces to the death. These brave pilots are the sentients who make up Starfighter Command. Widely regarded as the heart of the New Republic Military itself, the esteemed Starfighter Command dates back to the origins of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.  
  
Shortly after the election, the [[New Repbulic Senate|Senate]] set to work making an official set of procedures and electing a Speaker. Wolfgang Nospe was elected the first Speaker of the Senate by his fellow Senators on [[Year 8]], Day 169. The [[New Republic Senate|Senate]] also set to work debating many other subjects, and setting forth a variety of laws and regulations.
+
SFC pilots are employed on X-Wings, lightning-fast A-Wings, and hard-hitting B-Wings.
  
===Operation Forging Freedom===
+
===Army Command===
 +
Standing firm against the oncoming storm, the brave men and women of the New Republic's Army Command are known for their excellence on the field of battle, whether they are called upon to siege a planet, assist their comrades from different branches or defend holdings against the enemy. The forces of the New Republic Army are a diverse group made up of varied and highly trained soldiers, often called upon to fill multiple roles, as reported below.
  
Coming soon...
+
====Infantry====
 +
Infantry units form the backbone of the New Republic Army. Blaster rifle in hand, the infantry soldier fights shoulder to shoulder with their comrades. Infantry soldiers themselves are split into two major groups dependent on their equipment and role on the battlefield. Standard infantry are the main force used to take and hold key positions on the battlefield. They are often supported by heavy infantry, who use their anti-materiel weapons to take out enemy vehicles and fortified positions. Infantry also fields countless other units, among them snipers and sappers.
  
===Completion of Dunkiphor===  
+
====Mechanized====
 +
Sometimes, infantry alone can't hold against the enemy; this is when the superior firepower of mechanized units is called in. Operating tanks such as the battle tested TX-130 Saber-class, mechanized units support infantry by crippling enemy vehicles and destroying large, clustered groups of infantry.
  
Towards the end of Year 8, the New Republic completed a massive project, the Dunkiphor tax planet. The project’s primary goal was to construct hundreds of skyscrapers, to serve as homes for refugees. Over 32 million refugees, mostly aliens, were able to flee Imperial oppression to live on the ecumenopolis.
+
====Air Support====
 +
Despite common belief, SFC pilots aren't the only ones who get to fly fast moving vehicles and bomb enemy positions. Army has their own, in the form of air support units. Using the famed T-47 Airspeeder and the heavy-hitting V-Wing Airspeeder, air support is able to clear the path for ground units to land and make their way towards their objectives.
  
The master architects behind the planet included Gawayne, Gojin Zen, and Owyn Darklighter. Gojin Zen led the massive construction effort with the assistance of Riviera Ship Shop’s Assistant Director, Zhadum Dharun. Associate Minister Zen drew from his experience while leading SoroSuub’s first tax planet project, Galalyrn, which is now home to over 50 million sentient beings.
+
====Logistics====
 +
Before any fighting can be done, soldiers and equipment have to arrive at the battle quickly, and unharmed. The logistics branch is responsible for ensuring the safe arrival of all non-hyper capable craft (and the soldiers themselves) to their destinations. The life of an army logistics pilot isn't all just cozy flying - this is Army after all - and they can be called upon to transport soldiers and equipment straight to the front lines under enemy fire, either in the venerable GR-75 Medium Transport or the nimble Delta-Class JV-7 Escort Shuttle.
  
The economic plan behind the project was that the housing and many public services would initially be free. After sentient had settled in and were making a solid income to live off, they would begin to give parts of their profits to Republic, to help refund the cost of construction, and develop other planets in the future.
+
====Medical====
 +
Battles aren't always just won by sheer numbers and force; often times, it's the side that is able to return and keep their soldiers on the front lines that ends up victorious. This philosophy has led to the creation of a dedicated combat medic team. Though often times stationed in capital ships or behind friendly lines in a field hospital, it is not uncommon for a medic to administer first aid on the battlefield if needed. Often overlooked, it is the medic who ensures our injured troops make a full recovery and live to fight another day.
  
===Beauba Fettt’s Betrayal and the Death of Thies Windu===
+
==The Force==
  
One of the issues that arose early on in the Senate was how Dark Side force users were to be handled in the Republic. Several Senators and Advisory Council members took a strong stance against having any Dark Side users in the New Republic. Some believed that the Jedi Order should be consulted on all force issues. Several Senators, including Beauba Fettt, a force user who was a self proclaimed “grey user”, argued that the Constitution granted all citizens of the New Republic the choice whether or not to be a Light Side force user.
+
Those that wanted to be tested for force sensitivity could visit the [[Jedi Order]]. If found aligned with the force the sentient could decide to remain with the Order for training.  
  
During the debate in the Senate, some people grew suspicious that Fettt was not a force sensitive at all. In an attempt to prove that Fettt wasn’t a force user, Chief of Military Operations Thies Windu called the members of the newly created New Republic Security Force to the Republic’s flagship, the NRS Nautilus, for a christening ceremony on Year 8 Day 159. During the ceremony, Fettt executed a plan to arrest the Chief of Military Operations. With the help of a friend, Mat Cauthon, Fettt was able to subdue High Marshal Windu, and drag him aboard his personal warship.
+
On Year 11 Day 315 the force group [[Knights of the Republic]] was announced. They would serve as the force group within the New Republic, this way those that did not want to leave the New Republic for training could still remain in it while being trained.
  
Fettt disappeared into Deep Space, a fugitive of the Republic. All rescue operations to try and locate Thies were unsuccessful. It was revealed a short time after that Beauba’s force sensitivity was a sham created when he was SoroSuub’s Director of Intelligence. It was part of a scheme to capture Galactic Empire members. Fettt’s now vacant Senate seat was filled by Rhodan Flaka.
+
==Sport and Culture==
 +
New Republicans enjoy their sports very much. Citizens can watch a variety of sports on their holoprojectors but if they had to pick their favorite, it is likely they will choose the sport of [[boloball]]. With the [[Colonial Shockball League]] no longer around, the [[Republican Boloball Association]] has been snatching up the viewers. Billions of citizens watch the sport every week. Another sport popular in the New Republic is called [[Clock the 'Roids]] and is hosted by Narvaka Entertainment.
  
===Appointment of Edhrikhor as CMO and Concurrent Dissolution of NRSF===
+
==Notable Assets==
 +
===MC80 Home One Class Star Cruiser ''NRS Nautilus''===
 +
[[File:NRSNautilus.png|right|500px|link=MC80 Home One Class Star Cruiser]]
  
Eventually, news reached the Republic that Fettt had executed Thies Windu. The official date of death is marked as Year 8 Day 315. Edhrikhor Tlakh`sar was placed in command of the New Republic Military following Thies’ passing. As his first official act, Provost General Tlakh`sar awarded Jedi Master Windu with the Kalidor Crescent and the Republic Heart. Many members of the Republic, both military officers and civilians attented the ceremony onboard the NRS Nautilus.
+
The ''NRS Nautilus'' is the flagship of the New Republic. It was the first in a long line of [[MC80 Home One Class Star Cruiser]]s designed by New Republican and Mon Calamari engineers to defend the New Republic from attack. It started as a Mon Calamari luxury cruise liner but was outfitted with a large number of turbolasers and ion batteries. The ''NRS Nautilus'' was re-purposed as a military vessel before engineers discovered a way to mass produce the warship. It is because of this that the ''NRS Nautilus'' is a one-of-a-kind flagship.
  
After Edhrikhor’s appointment as Chief of Military Operations, the New Republic Security Force was dissolved. Most of the members transferred to a newly created, fourth battlegroup, under the command of Vice Marshal Aiden Taan.
+
The ''NRS Nautilus'' often is used as a mobile headquarters for the New Republic. While the exterior of the ''NRS Nautilus'' is designed to be optimized for war, most of its interior seems to have been designed for crew morale. It is outfitted with suites and large mess halls courtesy of its years as a luxury liner. Most in the armed forces hope to serve on this vessel. It's arguably the most iconic vessel in the New Republic and will continue to be for many years.

As campaigning was coming to an end, former SoroSuub Chancellor Ingo R. Vailis made a very controversial return. With the Republic in a difficult time, many members, mostly former SoroSuub members rallied behind Ingo, remembering his successful leadership of SoroSuub Corporation. On the other hand, many members were disappointed that Ingo was allowed to return and join in the campaigning this late into the race. Stating that he couldn’t run against Vailis, who he felt was the best man for the job, Edhrikhor Tlakh`sar withdrew from the race. To oppose Vailis, Nim Orlan entered the race a day later, prompting Oilios to drop out and back Nim.

When the final ballot reached the public, 3 candidates remained: Orlan, Vailis, and Nospe. When all of the votes were tallied, Vailis had defeated Orlan by a mere 5 votes. The people had spoken, and Ingo was officially the second Chief of State of the Republic.

When Ingo returned from his extended leave of absence, his old friend and partner, Adam A Flynn also returned. Upon his election to Chief of State, Vailis appointed Fynn his Executive Advisor, and gave him Advisory Council level security clearance. This caused much controversy, as Flynn was accused of going beyond his authority several times.

Shortly after Vailis’s inauguration, Flynn presented a proposal to the New Republic populace. Vailis and Flynn intended to sell one of the Republic’s nationalised groups, [[Black Sun]], to Eidola Pirates Queen, Teniel Djo. The sale would include the planet of Kiffex and Black Sun’s flagship, the Darkstar.
 
 
 
While some members sided with the Chief of State and his advisor, most of the population strongly opposed the sale. Arguments took place on all levels, within the Senate, the Advisory Council, RLC, and between citizens. All of the discussions led to several resignations. Alph Virphen, Nim Orlan, Kit Lorcan, Natalis Oro, Nov Chebot and others stepped down. As the discussion continued, Chief of State Vailis went missing. He rarely showed up for meetings, and for a period time seemed to completely vanish.
 
 
 
High Marshal Virphen was replaced with Dan Russ, and Director Orlan was replaced with Mandor Bg. Just a few days after his resignation, the Republic received word that Virphen had executed Samus Augill, a Dark Side force user, onboard his personal freighter. Augill had been captured during Operation Forging Freedom. Virphen agreed to go to court and be tried for any charges that the Republic wanted to bring against him.
 
 
 
===The Betrayal of Amun Sokar===
 
 
 
After Chief Executive Nov Chebot resigned his position within Republic Mining Corporation, he recommended that Amun Sokar take over as the corporation’s director. Just a month after accepting the position and being given full control over all RMC assets, Sokar made a deal with the Sith, and he stole everything that he could from RMC. On Year 8 Day 328, he made off with millions worth of credits, vehicles, ships, and mines.
 
 
 
Sokar also took the opportunity to free a captured Dark Side Force user, Max Powers, who was being held captive onboard a RMC ship. Amun’s betrayal destroyed the Republic’s morale and crippled northern mining operations. Luckily, through diplomatic work, Kapryn and Edhrikor Tlakh`sar were later able to retrieve enough of the stolen assets to complete the Akrit`tar tax planet project.
 
 
 
===Vote of No Confidence and the Elections===
 
 
 
Just prior to Sokar’s looting of RMC, a Vote of No Confidence in Chief of State Ingo R. Vailis had passed in the Senate and the Advisory Council. Both bodies had become frustrated with Ingo’s unannounced leave of absence and his techniques and ideas, especially the sale of Black Sun.
 
 
 
With Ingo out of office, campaigning for Chief of State was opened by Minister of Culture Gawayne, Vailis’ second in command, just before he passed on the position of Interim Chief of State to Minister of State Mindano.
 
 
 
Commodore Tal Hragon; Minister of Trade & Industry Zhadum Dharun; Diplomat David Kellar, recently returned from Deep Space; and Nim Orlan, recently returned after his resignation; all stepped forward to campaign for office. Orlan ran a campaign similar to his first one, and was generally considered the favorite.
 
 
 
===Takeover of the New Republic===
 
 
 
Just as election week was about to begin, numerous military officers and civilian workers were surprised to find that their crew, work teams, and squadron members were no longer under their authority. They had received direct orders from Adam A Flynn, who Vailis had placed in command of the entire Republic, not to obey any orders given by their commanders and to not allow their commanders to leave their ships.
 
 
 
With the entire Republic on a virtual lock down, Flynn began transferring hundreds of millions of credits to his personal account, along with the deeds to numerous Mon Calamari Cruisers and Republic fighter squadrons.
 
 
 
As Flynn stole the Republic’s assets, several [[Black Sun]] agents boarded ships and captured Republic officials. Among the most notable captures were Chief of State candidates David Kellar and Nim Orlan; Senators Chrono van Talisman and Eli LaSalle; and Jedi Master Bengro Evabri.
 
 
 
Black Sun agents who participated in the kidnappings included Aiden Taan, Beauba Fettt, Dracul Elensar, and Sergei Korolev. Soon after the captures took place though, Elensar had a change of heart, and released the two officers he was holding captive, Senators van Talisman and LaSalle.
 
 
 
After an intense week of rescue operations to secure stranded Republicans, Flynn disappeared to Black Sun, leaving the New Republic back under the command of Phymp Mindano. News shortly reached the Republic that the prisoners Black Sun was holding, including Orlan and Kellar had been executed. The New Republic mourned the losses that they had suffered, but did not look back as a period of rebuilding began.
 
 
 
===Rebuilding===
 
 
 
Minister Mindano got to work immediately planning elections. Phymp announced his own intention to run. Chrono Van Talisman, Zeff Traner, and Edhrikhor Tlakh`sar also stepped up to announce their candidacy. In another close election, Mindano captured 43 votes and Edhrikhor captured 41 votes. Due to a recently passed Constitution amendment, a run off election would be required, to ensure that one candidate gained 50% of the total vote. In the run off election, Tlakh`sar earned 53% of the vote, pushing his in to Office.
 
 
 
Under Edhrikor the Republic began a long period of reconstruction and rebuilding. Incom Corporation began constructing a massive shipyard complex in the Praesitlyn, to server as a main production base for building the Republic’s capital ships. The Akrit`tar tax planet project also came to a close under Edhrikor’s watch. During Operation NR Rehab, production teams were able to replenish the NR’s fighter and cruiser supplies by numerous times over. The Senate was hard at work as well. With the completion of the Governor’s Act, the New Republic was able to further their territorial development.
 
 
 
===Expanding the Galactic Alliance and Leadership Changes===
 
 
 
One of High Ambassador Jake Azzameen’s key objectives when he took over for Uzziah Akim was to expand the Galactic Alliance. After working very closely with the Falleen Federation, Ambassador Azzameen was extremely pleased to announce the expansion of the Alliance to include the Triumvirate Coalition, the Red Star Alliance, and the Jedi Order.
 
 
 
The New Republic was surprised when Phymp Mindano resigned his post as Minister of State. Phymp’s service record went back nearly 9 years, including the position of Supreme Commander of the Rebel Alliance. He was replaced by High Admiral Kapryn, who was already serving on the Advisory Council as Chief of Naval Command. A short time later, Zeff Traner, the former Minister of Trade and Industry who had resigned after the controversial discussion about the sale of Incom Corporation, returned. Traner was appointed Chief Administrator of Employment and immediately was back into the swing of things.
 
 
 
===Betrayals and Deaths===
 
 
 
When Tomra Kotar became leader of Toskan Industries, Altomac Whiskers was appointed leader of [[Astralwerks Engineering]]. Shortly after the change, both leaders looted their factions, and Kotar attempted to arrest Jedi Master High Admiral Eli LaSalle. In the fight, Tomra failed and the former Senator LaSalle was able to apprehend him, but not before Kotar sent the ship via hyperspace towards Black Sun space.
 
 
 
When the ship arrived, Black Sun member, Sith Jett Blackheart boarded and arrested the Jedi Master after a lengthy duel. Blackheart later killed Eli and kept the restrained Tomra with him. The New Republic would later recover Tomra and put him on trial.
 
 
 
Around the same time, Black Sun also attacked one of the Republic's private sector companies, Offworld Mining Corporation. It was owned by Oilios Katastrefor, a New Republic senator. He started his business in the Ku'bakai system with other members of the Republic. The company grew to the point where Oilios decided to apply to the Republic to have his corporation recognized as part of their Private Sector Agreement, giving his employees NR citizenship and rights.
 
 
 
The CEO of the company, Mott Skyblade, was contacted by Black Sun agents. While Oilios was leading a prospection team, Mott gave all employees a task to keep them busy, using the time to fly to the planet Gondyn, where Oilios was working. Mott entered Oilios' vehicle and kidnapped him, leaving him on board a Black Sun ship. Oilios however managed to change most OMC access codes, protecting the corporation from completely being taken over by Black Sun. He quickly contacted Andre Gualdieri and appointed him as the new CEO.
 
 
 
Mott Skyblade still managed to steal a handful of ships and all the credits of the Offworld Mining Corporation, right before having his access to their accounts removed. Oilios was later murdered by Ingo R. Vailis and Nicholas Haines.
 
Offworld Mining Company managed to survive and the new CEO, Gualdieri, promoted Twiggy Samp and Mambo Starr to Directors.
 
 
 
===Election of Zeff Traner===
 
 
 
When Edhrikhor’s term as Chief of State came to an end, he decided not to run for reelection. A very intense campaign was run between Zeff Traner and CRI Director, Mandor Bg. Both candidates had different stances on many issues. After the votes were all tallied, it was confirmed that Traner was the Republic’s new Chief of State on Year 10 Day 12.
 
 
 
Several changes in the Advisory Council took place at the time of Traner's inauguration. High Ambassador Jake Azzameen and High General Edyn Solers both stepped down and were replaced with Owen von Ismay and Wolfgang Nospe respectively. Minister of State Kapryn was made the Republic's official second in command. CRI Director Mandor Bg also resigned his position and was replaced by Deputy Director Dan Neo.
 
 
 
Under Traner’s leadership, important changes in several sectors took place. Regarding the economy, the tax planet at Belecalaryn was completed, wages were increased, and the Trade Bursary programme was reopened for the NR citizens. However, the most impressive action was the mergers of different but similar companies, carried out to streamline the processes and increase the level of cooperation among all the parties involved. This led to a lot of changes in the AC, Ministers, and Associate Ministers. A new position was also created: the Executive Employment Administrator. Moreover, CRI renovated its inner structure.
 
 
 
Regarding the military, the reorganization involved mainly the Army, and a new Battlegroup was created.
 
 
 
Traner’s administration saw also the looting of Astralwerks Engineering and its renewed management under the name of Noga-Ta Industries, an unfortunate event balanced by the quick response and support to one of the GA members, [[The Antarian Rangers]], which was struck by the [[Galactic Empire]].
 
 
 
===Creation of the Justice Department===
 
 
 
In the beginning of Year 10, the NR citizens started discussing on the possible benefits of having a department dedicated to deal with judicial matters. Such a new "power body" seemed necessary after the Senate had been handling trials to no one's satisfaction.
 
The strongest point against the fact of the Senate administering justice was that Senators were - and are - directly-elected representatives. The important consequence to this, is that the popular vote weighted too much on delicate issues, where popularity must be set aside and objectivity is of paramount importance. In other words, there could have been the risk of Senators not judging according to what the trial exposed, but according to what decision could bring the most popularity, and therefore votes.
 
In addition to these opinions, it did happen that some people managed to successfully manipulate trials through the Senate.
 
The following steps were therefore to create a Justice Department based on legislation, and to charge the Minister of State to set up an Associate Minister for just these purposes. After this was achieved in June of Year 10, the JD started its task by writing and devising new procedures and new legislation, when appropriate.
 
 
 
===Fifth Chief of State Election===
 
 
 
The  Chief of State, Zeff Traner, officially announced he would not be running for re-election after completing a full term as CoS, like his predecessor. The Republic is yet to have a leader run for a second term in office, the reason for which CoS Traner alluded to, stating: “While I have enjoyed my time as Chief of State, it is literally the most trying job in the Galaxy.” He went on to advise citizens to consider running, but to be sure they give “much thought and meditation before making such a decision.”
 
 
 
The campaign was marked by the astounding personalities involved. All four candidates have served in the New Republic since the galaxy-changing merger between the Rebel Alliance and the SoroSuub Corporation with excellence in their fields. Senator Aves Sunfell, Colonel Jake Azzameen, Minister of Culture Nat Dues and Chief of Military Operations Kapryn LaSalle. The voting system was renovated in order to increase the security and trust in the electoral system.
 
 
 
"Holding the rank of Marshal within the Republic’s famous Starfighter Command, Senator Sunfell stood for election in the early Year 10 Senate elections and has since been working in the Republic’s legislative body in addition to his military duties. If elected, he hopes to provide a stable governing body, increase revenue and production capacities for both military and civilian fleets as well as reach out more to foreign nations."
 
 
 
"Colonel Jake Azzameen has an extensive background among the NR and her allies. A former Senator and High Ambassador, he now works within the Army Command, intending to put primary focus on the Empire. Key plans include developing the newly formed Justice Department, reorganising military forces as well as improving foreign relations and security."
 
 
 
"Currently tasked with developing the territories of the Republic, Minister Dues has also served on the Senate in days past. His main goals as CoS would include developing the infrastructure, defences and production capacities of the Republic’s territories as well as improving recruitment and employment opportunities for citizens."
 
 
 
"Having served as the Republic’s Chief of Military Operations and second-in-command for the past year, High Admiral LaSalle had also held the office of Minister of State prior to that. He intends to continue with plans for warship production, consolidate Republic territories, streamline government procedures and establish firmer relations with neutral factions."
 
 
 
After the first voting, none of the candidates reached more than 50% of the votes, therefore a run-off between Aves Sunfell and Jake Azzameen took place. On Year 11 Day 6 the Chief of State-elect resulted Aves Sunfell.
 
(extracted by GNS: “New Republic Chief of State Elections Underway” by Cheda Quche)
 
 
 
===Aves Sunfell's Administration===
 
 
 
Under Sunfell’s leadership, the NR experienced a period of stability and constant growth.
 
 
 
The Senate proposed several amendments to the Constitution, revised laws and acts and tried to clarify and streamline any loops or unclear legislation.
 
  
Following the breakthrough in ship design research, the NR was able to start a mass production of MC80 Home One-class Star Cruisers, and the military High Command devised new strategies to exploit this ultimate addition to their fleets. SFC Command introduced new rank definitions, more appropriate to the effective role of the officers. On the war front, GE attacked in the N'Zoth and Tatooine systems, while Shoki Shoen struck in Geedon system. However, the NR response was immediate and all the enemy forces soon left empty-handed. On the other hand, the NR took control of the Quelii system from Black Sun and participated in the liberation of several planets (e.g. Malgolfin and Sacorria).
 
 
Sunfell’s administration also saw the birth of a force sensitive group within the NR. The “Knights of the Republic”. After long debates, it was decided that such a group would have more advantages rather than disadvantages, and Ghon Webb was appointed as supervisor of all matters related to force sensitivity within the NR and the Knights.
 
 
The Diplomacy Command made improvements at galactic level. It maintained relations with the NR allies and reached out to a much wider base of groups in the galaxy to establish contact and seek opportunities for cooperation. Within the GA, the NR helped Triumvirate Coalition secure control of planets within their territory as well as aiding the Krath Dynasty in their home Sector, Kathol, for the same purpose. Falleen Federation and Ailon Nova Guard helped the NR secure several planets.
 
 
Several improvements on the civil side were also made. A new tax planet was developed, while [[JUGANOTH Mining Corporation]], a nationalised faction, set up and opened a new South Sales Depot. The NR at large cooperated on large-scale projects regarding the increase of demographic population and provision of minimal sustainability to every city in the galaxy.
 
CRI, lead by Director Evan Traner, set up a joint operation with the Jedi Order to arrest Salvor Higgs, who was responsible for looting of the RA faction.
 
 
The New Republic News Service (NRNS) started its publications with a brand new staff.
 
 
Due to a galaxy-wide agreed decision, all hidden systems in the galaxy were disclosed to the public, as a first step towards a complete reorganization of the sectors.
 
 
Sunfell's term was marred however by the resignation of several important members of the Republic, including Evan and Zeff Traner, respectively the Director of CRI and the former Chief of State. They formed their own organization, Alliance Special Operations, claiming that the Republic didn't do enough to fight the Empire. Under Sunfell's administration, a Black Sun agent, Elix Solaris, also succeeded in killing the leader of [[Merr-Sonn Technologies]], a nationalised faction of the NR.
 
 
===Sixth Chief of State Election===
 
 
At the end of his term, Chief of State Aves Sunfell officially announced he would not be running for re-election. The candidates for the new CoS campaign were initially Nat Dues – who was also a candidate in the past elections - and Taka Aioko, current Minister of State, at his first candidacy.
 
 
Nat Dues, former Minister of Culture and current Senator, allegedly resigned in favour of the high-caliber position of Minister Aioko because he didn’t feel right running against what he considered such an excellent candidate for Chief of State.
 
 
Jedi Knight and current Senator Ghon Webb, on the other hand, entered the voting arena because he felt that for the ideals of democracy the NR represents in the whole galaxy, the people of the NR deserved a choice. He therefore put himself forward as another option to be Chief of State.
 
 
Minister Taka Aioko had much experience in the civil sectors, spending time as CEO of many nationalised factions before being appointed Minister of State.
 
 
On Year 12 Day 3 the Chief of State-elect resulted Taka Aioko, with 85% of the votes, and on Day 17 he was officially appointed.

The New Republic (often abbreviated as NR) is a sovereign government and the foremost advocate of democracy in the galaxy. Originally known as the Rebel Alliance, the Alliance controversially merged in Year 8 with the SoroSuub Corporation and reformed itself as the New Republic. Its current head of state is the fourteenth Chief of State Jin Solas. It is the only government with annual elections for its leader, and is also known to have an elected legislature. It is also one of the founding members of the Galactic Alliance.

The New Republic holds dominion over numerous sectors. Its capital planet of Republica is a ecumenopolis much like Coruscant. It is believed that, while the New Republic cannot deny the Galactic Empire's existence and control over Coruscant, the New Republic seeks to recreate the Old Republic in its own territories away from the Empire's control.

History

Main article: History of the New Republic

The Beginning

Late in the Year 7, members of Rebel Alliance High Command and SoroSuub Corporation Middle Management began to discuss the possibility of a merger between the two groups, realizing that the combination of the Alliance's military might and SoroSuub's economic prosperity would give the Galactic Alliance the greatest chance of defeating the Empire. Delegates from the Rebel Alliance, such as Phymp Mindano, Nim Orlan, and David Kellar, and delegates from SoroSuub, including Adam A Flynn, and Maradin Sandwalker had a conference where they set out the initial plans for a new government, which they called the New Republic. Using the Old Republic's Constitution as a model, they began writing a new Constitution for the new government.

When the leaders of each group announced the potential merger to the members of their factions, there were mixed reactions. Some agreed that the joining of the two groups would create a powerful new government. Others did not care for the idea, arguing that they were proud to be a member of their current group under their current name. In order to get an official measure of how many people were for the merger, or against it, both sides held a poll. Both the Rebel Alliance members and SoroSuub members had a majority vote, 'Aye' in favor of the merger.

Once both sides had officially approved the merger, the completed Constitution was presented to the public for approval. A referendum vote was held, and the New Republic's Constitution was ratified on Year 8, Day 98. The day became known as Restoration Day, a celebration of the restoration of the Old Republic.

With the Constitution ratified and the New Republic officially formed, the various departments began merging. SoroSuub logistics, which had been housed in SoroSuub Munitions, moved into Corellian Transport Services under the leadership of SSC Logistics Director Van Harrad as well as CTS Director Azzi Blackgate and Assistant Director Kit Lorcan. Liberty Medical Center and Riviera Medical merged together into Republic Medical under the leadership of Miko Niepe. Members of the SoroSuub military were transferred into previously-Alliance battle groups. The various nationalized companies of the Republic and its military began to collaborate on production, mining, and construction projects.

With all the merging came some expected problems. Former members of the Rebel Alliance and SoroSuub Corporation began to disagree on how things should be run, and there were times of tension in the beginning. Over time, these problems were solved and the two groups unified with similar ideals and the goal to defeat the Empire.

During this time the first New Republic Advisory Council was formed. Initial plans had SoroSuub’s Chancellor Adam A Flynn serving as Minister of State, with the members of SoroSuub’s Middle Management team filling the roles of civil Advisory Council members. The Rebel Alliance’s High Command members would fill the military positions. This changed when just after the merger the co-leaders of the SoroSuub CorporationSoroSuub, Adam A Flynn and Ingo R Vailis, resigned their positions and decided to leave the Republic.

The End

On Year 21 Day 16, newly elected Chief of State Galen Darksol surrendered to the Galactic Empire dissolving the New Republic. In a series of devastating campaigns known as The War for the Republic, the Imperial Union soon occupied most every world once governed by the New Republic. The remnants of the former-Republic's military that escaped capture or destruction reformed under the Rebel Alliance and formed a coalition with The Resistance and other members of the Galactic Alliance to liberate the planets now under Imperial rule. While the rebel coalition succeeded in driving the Imperial Union back to their original borders, suspicion and disillusionment prevented the various groups from reforming the Republic.


Government

"Without that spark of democracy, we would just be another government in the galaxy."
Kara DuMonte, the tenth Chief of State of the New Republic.

The New Republic is the only recognized government with an elected government. It was agreed in the formation of the New Republic that an elected process is key to a free society. While many outsiders see this as a huge risk, the New Republic has stood by its government consistently arguing it is the most free of any government. While the Chief of State and the Senate are elected representatives, the Advisory Council is an appointed body designed to lead departments within the New Republic.

Chief of State

Main article: New Republic Chief of State
The Chief of State is the leader of the New Republic.

The title of Chief of State is given to the Head of State the New Republic. It is the New Republic's elected leader. As head of the Executive Branch of the New Republic and Commander in Chief, the Chief of State is ultimately responsible for leading the government in both name and fact. In addition he or she serves as the link between the Advisory Council and the Senate of the New Republic, bringing proposals and advice from the Advisory Council to the legislature. The Chief of State is also responsible for breaking tied votes within the Senate. Furthermore, the Chief of State is responsible for management of the Senate elections and has the power to grant pardons to citizens of the New Republic.

The Chief of State is normally elected by simple majority. Campaigning is often times a difficult task. With many planets under the New Republican flag, candidates find themselves speaking to billions in an attempt to gather support for their campaign. If there is no candidate with over 50% of the votes, a run-off begins between the top two candidates. This guarantees that a candidate will win the election.

The current and fourteenth Chief of State is Jin Solas.


Senate

Main article: New Republic Senate

The Senate of the New Republic is the legislative branch of the New Republic and one of its most enduring institutions. This assembly consists of seven elected New Republic citizens. Any citizen who has been continuously in the New Republic for at least twelve months is eligible to campaign for a Senate seat. A Senator is elected for a one-year term, and two elections are held per year, on Day 78 and Day 260. At least four seats are contested on the first election of the year and at least three seats are contested on the second election.

Advisory Council

Main article: New Republic Advisory Council

The New Republic Advisory Council consists of at least 5 members, who are appointed by the Chief of State. They are advising and providing expertise to the Senate and the CoS in operational matters and policy. They operate the day-to-day business of the civil and military departments and manage their budgets. They coordinate the strategic planning and structure of their ministries and branches. Also they support the Chief of State to ensure fair elections are run.

Economy and Industry

The majority of the New Republic's economy existed before its founding, courtesy of the Rebel Alliance and SoroSuub Corporation. The Rebel Alliance and SoroSuub Corporation each brought their unique technologies together as well as their Nationalized Companies. With the assistance of the SoroSuub Corporation's leaders, the New Republic was propelled into extreme wealth and prosperity. Currently, the Ministry of Trade and Industry leads the way in promoting investment and productivity in the New Republican economy.

The New Republic divides its industries into two groups: Nationalized Companies and Private Sector Affiliates.

Nationalized Companies

Private Sector Affiliates

The Ministry of Trade and Industry is responsible for the majority of the New Republic's economic output.


Military

Main article: New Republic Military

Nearly all governments have standing armies instructed to defend their territory or invade their neighbors, and the New Republic is no different. The New Republic military is composed of three branches: the Naval Command, the Army Command, and Starfighter Command, each designed to perform certain roles. The military has representation in the Advisory Council as well. The military is under the command of the Chief of State and Chief of Military Operations.

Naval Command

Born out of a necessity to have a navy patrol its systems, the New Republic Navy commands the New Republic's capital ships. From the Sabaoth Destroyer to the Home One, the Navy is arguably the most critical line of defense for the New Republic. With the task of carrying hundreds of fighter and bomber squadrons for the Starfighter Command and carrying landing ships for the Army, the Navy could be considered the keystone of the New Republic's armed forces.

The Navy uses a variety of vessels including:

Starfighter Command

While the Navy wages its battles in space, there is a group of pilots who dart around the large capital ships, defending and attacking all at once. They thread through impossible gaps, lead their snubfighters head-on into a volley of lasers, and duel other enemy aces to the death. These brave pilots are the sentients who make up Starfighter Command. Widely regarded as the heart of the New Republic Military itself, the esteemed Starfighter Command dates back to the origins of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

SFC pilots are employed on X-Wings, lightning-fast A-Wings, and hard-hitting B-Wings.

Army Command

Standing firm against the oncoming storm, the brave men and women of the New Republic's Army Command are known for their excellence on the field of battle, whether they are called upon to siege a planet, assist their comrades from different branches or defend holdings against the enemy. The forces of the New Republic Army are a diverse group made up of varied and highly trained soldiers, often called upon to fill multiple roles, as reported below.

Infantry

Infantry units form the backbone of the New Republic Army. Blaster rifle in hand, the infantry soldier fights shoulder to shoulder with their comrades. Infantry soldiers themselves are split into two major groups dependent on their equipment and role on the battlefield. Standard infantry are the main force used to take and hold key positions on the battlefield. They are often supported by heavy infantry, who use their anti-materiel weapons to take out enemy vehicles and fortified positions. Infantry also fields countless other units, among them snipers and sappers.

Mechanized

Sometimes, infantry alone can't hold against the enemy; this is when the superior firepower of mechanized units is called in. Operating tanks such as the battle tested TX-130 Saber-class, mechanized units support infantry by crippling enemy vehicles and destroying large, clustered groups of infantry.

Air Support

Despite common belief, SFC pilots aren't the only ones who get to fly fast moving vehicles and bomb enemy positions. Army has their own, in the form of air support units. Using the famed T-47 Airspeeder and the heavy-hitting V-Wing Airspeeder, air support is able to clear the path for ground units to land and make their way towards their objectives.

Logistics

Before any fighting can be done, soldiers and equipment have to arrive at the battle quickly, and unharmed. The logistics branch is responsible for ensuring the safe arrival of all non-hyper capable craft (and the soldiers themselves) to their destinations. The life of an army logistics pilot isn't all just cozy flying - this is Army after all - and they can be called upon to transport soldiers and equipment straight to the front lines under enemy fire, either in the venerable GR-75 Medium Transport or the nimble Delta-Class JV-7 Escort Shuttle.

Medical

Battles aren't always just won by sheer numbers and force; often times, it's the side that is able to return and keep their soldiers on the front lines that ends up victorious. This philosophy has led to the creation of a dedicated combat medic team. Though often times stationed in capital ships or behind friendly lines in a field hospital, it is not uncommon for a medic to administer first aid on the battlefield if needed. Often overlooked, it is the medic who ensures our injured troops make a full recovery and live to fight another day.

The Force

Those that wanted to be tested for force sensitivity could visit the Jedi Order. If found aligned with the force the sentient could decide to remain with the Order for training.

On Year 11 Day 315 the force group Knights of the Republic was announced. They would serve as the force group within the New Republic, this way those that did not want to leave the New Republic for training could still remain in it while being trained.

Sport and Culture

New Republicans enjoy their sports very much. Citizens can watch a variety of sports on their holoprojectors but if they had to pick their favorite, it is likely they will choose the sport of boloball. With the Colonial Shockball League no longer around, the Republican Boloball Association has been snatching up the viewers. Billions of citizens watch the sport every week. Another sport popular in the New Republic is called Clock the 'Roids and is hosted by Narvaka Entertainment.

Notable Assets

MC80 Home One Class Star Cruiser NRS Nautilus

NRSNautilus.png

The NRS Nautilus is the flagship of the New Republic. It was the first in a long line of MC80 Home One Class Star Cruisers designed by New Republican and Mon Calamari engineers to defend the New Republic from attack. It started as a Mon Calamari luxury cruise liner but was outfitted with a large number of turbolasers and ion batteries. The NRS Nautilus was re-purposed as a military vessel before engineers discovered a way to mass produce the warship. It is because of this that the NRS Nautilus is a one-of-a-kind flagship.

The NRS Nautilus often is used as a mobile headquarters for the New Republic. While the exterior of the NRS Nautilus is designed to be optimized for war, most of its interior seems to have been designed for crew morale. It is outfitted with suites and large mess halls courtesy of its years as a luxury liner. Most in the armed forces hope to serve on this vessel. It's arguably the most iconic vessel in the New Republic and will continue to be for many years.
