Republic Military


 * "And as my first act with this new authority, I will create a grand army of the Republic to counter the increasing threats of the Separatists."
 * ―Sheev Palpatine

The Republic military comprised the army, naval and starfighterforces—the Grand Army of the Republic, the Republic Navy and the Republic Starfighter Corps respectively—of the Galactic Republic. Formed as a result of the Separatist Crisis and the ensuing Clone Wars, the Jedi-led clone forces fought against the Confederate droid armies across the galaxy for roughly three standard years. By the war's end, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine used his control over the Republic military to exterminate the Jedi, resulting in the fall of the Jedi Order and the Republic's reorganization into the first Galactic Empire. The Republic military consequently transitioned into the Imperial Military.
