History
Under the direction of Sifo-Dyas, the cloners of Kamino were contacted with creating an entire line of Clone Troopers bred from the DNA of the bounty hunter Jango Fett. These clones were bred in secret and were used to establish the Grand Army of the Republic. The Grand Army was formally deployed at the outbreak of hostilities with the Droid Armies of the newly formed Confederacy of Independent Systems that formed in opposition to the Republic. With the Jedi in the lead, the Grand Army was deployed to strike the Separatist forces on Geonosis leading to the outbreak of the devastating Clone Wars.
At the conclusion of the Clone Wars, Chancellor Palpatine made the Declaration of the New Order and re-ordered the Republic into the Galactic Empire. In opposition to the Empire, various worlds formed resistance groups that formed into the Rebel Alliance that in time took part in the Galactic Civil War. This culminated in the death of Emperor Palpatine with the Rebel Alliance seeking a return of the republic with them forming the New Republic.
Overview
It was headed by a body known as the Galactic Senate that represented the various member worlds of the Republic.
One group within the Republic were the Senate Guards who for centuries had kept the galaxy's legislators from harm as they operated on Coruscant. The best and bravest of the guard could receive an invitation to become members of the elite Senate Commandos that carried secret government missions.
