Holosite New Republic

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 leader is the eighth Chief of State Kara DuMonte. 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.

Government

"Without that spark of democracy, we would just be another government in the galaxy."
Kara DuMonte, the eighth 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 a candidate will win the election.

The current and tenth Chief of State is Kara DuMonte. She was elected after winning an election with 73% of the vote.

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.

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

Army Command

The New Republic military is responsible for the formidable armed forces of the Republic. It's one of the largest branches and is at the forefront in the fight against the Imperial Regime. It consists of three sub-branches: Naval Command, Army Command, and Starfighter Command.

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.
