![]() Despite this effort, the First Order destroyed the New Republic's capital of Hosnian Prime and most of its Defense Fleet in 34 ABY, leading to open galactic war. During this time, Senator Leia Organa formed her own private military force, the Resistance, due to the Senate's unwillingness to take action against the First Order and risk provoking another galactic war. In 29 ABY, an intense geopolitical conflict known as the Cold War began after systems sympathetic to the Old Empire seceded from the New Republic and joined the First Order. Elsewhere, the Imperials that had fled to the Unknown Regions regrouped as the First Order and began a secret military buildup against the New Republic. Activity of these Imperial holdouts had increased by 9 ABY, yet the people on the Core Worlds did not believe it. Nevertheless, remnants of the Empire who did not recognize the surrender continued to persist across the galaxy, particularly in the Outer Rim Territories, where Imperial warlords gained footholds on distant worlds clinging to what little power they had left. The Senate pursued diplomatic trade relations with neutral systems and ex-Imperial governors, some of whom joined their worlds with the New Republic. The New Republic then turned its attention to reshaping galactic politics. They signed a historic peace treaty, the Galactic Concordance, which ended the fighting and broke up the Empire. After the battle, many Imperials retreated into the Unknown Regions, while others led by Grand Vizier Mas Amedda formally surrendered the Empire in 5 ABY. After failed peace talks with Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, the Republic pursued the Empire, which had retreated to Jakku, where Counselor Gallius Rax led the Imperial fleet in a last stand against the New Republic. Mon Mothma was elected as the first Chancellor, and continued the rebellion against the shattered Imperial forces throughout the galaxy, hoping to prevent them from regrouping. With the death of Emperor Palpatine at the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, the Alliance to Restore the Republic reorganized into the New Republic as the restoration and legal continuity of the Galactic Republic, the New Republic strove to dismantle Palpatine's New Order by restoring democracy after an era of Imperial rule. However, the New Republic was never able to achieve the galactic scope of its predecessors, and therefore relied on egalitarian policies to remain on friendly terms with neutral star systems. In light of this, member worlds raised their own individual planetary defense forces with New Republic support. The New Republic Defense Force was significantly reduced as part of demilitarization efforts after the war. Instead of affixing the Senate to Coruscant, the galaxy's historical seat of government, the capital shifted from one world to another on a rotating basis, beginning with Chandrila. The Chancellor was the leader of the New Republic Senate, which was comprised of senators representing their member worlds. ![]() The New Republic ( 4 ABY– 34 ABY), or simply the Republic, was the restoration of the Galactic Republic that supplanted the Galactic Empire at the end of the Galactic Civil War. This is what we fought for." ―Tai-Lin Garr ![]() For the extraordinary peace we now enjoy. But when we think of those people who perished in the conflict, let us remember that they died for justice. " When we look back upon the war against the Empire-upon the billions of lives lost-sometimes it seems as though nothing could ever have been worth the terrible price we paid.
