I dug up a bunch of content from my old Republic Commando character, who sadly passed away with the Alliance on Velga after a long, storied history.
I had him just almost as long as my other character, [member="Preliat Mantis"].
Anyways, this is a collection of quotes from Kaiden from this thread:
http://starwarsrp.net/topic/112794-the-art-of-war-professor-fenni-open-to-public/
"The Republic was meant to be the ultimate symbol, the alliance, a coalition that existed since about when hyperspace was invented. For twenty millenia, the Republic stood by cooperation and a shared, vested interest in stability, economic growth, and protection."
"And within ten years, due to pressures from the Sith and their machinations for power, it all came tumbling down. Jedi turned, Jedi died- and thousands upon thousands of soldiers died. I can tell you a number, but it's an arbitary word for you to hear a thousand. Or two thousand. It's another thing to see a city on fire. A world burning. Entire planets devastated, never to recover- from one fight."
The worlds they burned, they conquered- existed in a state of total terror. And do you know what happened to the One Sith? The same thing that'll happen to the First Order, or whatever alliance they come up next."
"There was a time when the Republic was beating the Sith so badly that the Sith cut and run from almost every engagement we had. The Mandalorians cut in on the action too, but that's an entire different topic."
Sadly, he passed away and could not be here to comment directly.
