The New Republic is the succeeding government of the Old Republic and Galactic Empire. Along with it, came the New Jedi Order. The Rebel Alliance was merged with the New Republic upon its reformation. However, the First Order rose into power, leading to the formation of the Resistance.
The New Republic was founded on the same premise on which the Old Republic had been established twenty-five thousand years previously; to have a representative parliamentary body govern the galaxy in a fair and equal manner. It was designed to eradicate the shortcomings that brought about the Old Republic's downfall.
History[]
Sometime after the downfall of the Galactic Empire and the Battle of Endor, the New Republic was founding by Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian; on the principles of the Old Republic.
For the last twenty-four years, there had been peace in the galaxy, approximately six years later, the First Order, an organization formed by the remnants of the Empire, became known to the public, however, most members of the Galactic Senate, led by Chancellor Lanever Villecham, did not take them very seriously, partly due to them being small in numbers and mainly because they believe the First Order would follow the tenants of the Galactic Concordance; until the destruction of the Hosnian system, the capital of the New Republic, it can be assumed that New Republic's capital was moved to Coruscant.
