The Galactic Republic, propably the most ancient major faction still alive currently occupies almost half of the galactic map. Its territory contains part of the Core, the Colonies, the Expansion Region and the Mid Rim. It is currently undergoing a time of heavy reformation and reorganization with the new government of ''The Foundation'', the biggest political party inside the Senate, just won the elections that were held after the resignation of the previous government.
The moving machine of the Galactic Republic its of course its Senate. Within the Senate Chamber (Big Rotunda) , located in Coruscant, thousands of Senators (5.000) argue for the good of the state every day. Others think about their own good. Corruption is not a new thing for the political scene. Major sessions, less important ones, important comittees and comittees second in interest, all of them formulate the living legislative branch of the government and everything being decided there, even the smallest decision, influences the people.
The Jedi Order is also a very important element for the Galactic Republic. Currently the Order faces difficult problems, since a rather large ammount of Jedis got killed during the Imperial Purge, but the Minister of State, Angel Snape (Senator of Naboo) tries to coordinate their revival alongside Master s. Galloway the official Jedi Envoy to the Senate. The Jedis held close relations with the government and they are determined to protect the people...but they have taken an oath to themselfs never again be generals in the war in the hands of the greedy politians.
The Government
The New Republic was a voluntary confederation organized on democratic principles under the New Republic Common Charter and in accord with the ideals and purposes embodied in the Declaration of a New Republic. Primary (voting) membership was available to any independent sovereign political entity representing one or more unified planetary populations, or to other recognized and definable territories, such as the surviving Alderaanians. Membership followed an application process (during which the candidate member reviewed the Charter and other governing statutes and agreed to abide by them) and an assessment process (during which the candidate member's annual support contribution was determined).
Executive Branch
The Republic is lead by the Chief-of-State, who also held the distinction of being the President of the Senate. Day to Day operations were overseen by the Republic's Ministries.
Head of State:
Senator Axel Versetillor, Coruscant (NPC)
General Ministry:
Minister of State: Senator Angel Snape, Naboo
Minister of Trade and Finance: Senator Raith Saner, Cato Neimoidia (NPC)
Minister of Health and Education: Senator Elias Wood, Bothawui (NPC)
Minister of Defense: Senator Mandragen Marxon, Coruscant 2nd District (NPC)
Minister of Security & Intelligence: Senator Riyo Eekway, Anaxes (NPC)
Legislative Branch
The government of the Republic was organized around a unicameral legislative body called the Republic Senate, replacing the Provisional Council. Primary members were represented in the Senate by a senator. Each senator had a single vote, regardless of the population represented. Affiliate members were represented on Coruscant by a legate, who could speak in general sessions of the Senate, but could not vote on official Senate business (to avoid dual representation) or serve in the Senate's various working bodies.
As a body with a large and potentially unlimited membership, the Senate-in-whole was an almost impossibly unwieldy structure for getting work done. Consequently, most of the real governance was performed by the Senate's councils, committees, and commissions. The daily business of the Senate proper was primarily speech-making and public debate. When the Senate met as a committee of the whole, it was sometimes referred to as the Republic Assembly.
Senators of the Republic: Currently 5.000, make the Galactic Senate. This is the legislative body of the Republic. Inside the Senate there are four different major political parties. Those parties have a portion of the Senatorial seats (Senators). The political party with most elected Senators can format a Government, thus the leader or the president of the party will become the Head of State and appoint Senators from his party as Ministers. For a political party to format a steady government a minimum number of 2.501 Senatorial Seats are required.
Political Parties of the Republic
The Foundation : This is the major political party of the Senate. It formatted the first galactic government after the constitutional change. Its leader is the Head of State. Currently the Foundation has 3.200 Senators making it a strong and steady government. The Foundation believes in the Senate which must have central role on the political system. It has a composed financial politic and a peaceful external policy.
The National Union : This the second biggest political party and the official opposition to the government. Currently the National Union has 1.000 Senators making it the strongest of the opposition parties. Its central ideals are equal chances for everyone, nationalizing of the productive resources and financial restoration. In the foreign politics the National Union is in favor of imperialism to extend the boarders of the Republic.
Galactic Alliance : A smaller political party with 450 Senators in each power it is considered pro Foundation.
Cooperate Party : The smallest of the ''big'' parties with a power of 200 Senators. It is considered pro National Union.
There are also 150 Independent Senators that never joined one of the big political parties.
The Elections Procedure
Each government has a term of three years. After the end of its term it must declare elections for the next Senate. In this period all the political parties set their official Senatorial candidates in each planet. The political party that manages to elect more than 2.500 of its candidates in the 5.000 Election Centers formats the government and its leader is appointed as Head of State.

The naval forces of the RDF is known as the Republic Navy, or Defense Fleet. The overall structure of the fleet has changed dramatically over the years, with nine strategic fleets currently serving as main units of operation for the Republic. It also maintains static sector fleets, coupled with private planetary navies. The Fleets of the Navy are organized into several smaller units. From planetary defense Fleets, like the Coruscant Home Guard, to the sector defense fleets, to the patrol task forces, to the nine main line battle fleets. These fleets vary in size depending on the importance of the planet or Sector which they are assigned.
The most notable and largest fleet is that of the Fighting First. The first is known as a fast track to promotions, and is often times the training environment for new recruits. The first patrols the Northern Core Quadrant, between Coruscant and Kuat, protect these vital sectors from Imperial attacks.

Flagship: Strident-class Star Defender Forward Unto Dawn
The Republic Army was the ground forces of the Republic Defense Force. Two known branches of the Army were the Infantry and the Scouts. Known as grunts, ground pounders and cannon fodder, depending on whom one asked, the Army is generally who hits the ground. Most often the troops stationed aboard the Naval vessels would be Marines, who specialize in ship-to-ship warfare or ship-to-ground. The Army specializes in ground-to-ground warfare. However they do have quite a few ships that resemble the Navy’s ships, outfitted for starfighter defense or long range artillery bombardment, drop operations and en-masse troop and munitions transport. They also maintain a small set of starfighters, bombers and space-to-air transports to maintain autonomy.
The Republic Starfighter Corps was the reorganization of its Old Republic predecessor. Like the others before it, it was separate from the navy and held ranks similar to that of the army. It is made up of non-naval pilots and is used as a scout force and strike force. They are trained slightly differently than Naval pilots, who are trained to work in conjunction with the larger capital ships, and often perform high risk missions. The Starfighter Corps uses Army Ranks, and has a few Endurance-class Fleet Carriers which service them specifically as roving bases, but primarily will use ground or space stations as bases of operation. For special operations, they can be found on some of the larger capital ships of the Navy for a time.
