New Republic

"We, the Beings of the Galaxy, in order to form a free union of planets, establish justice, provide for common peace and prosperity, and to secure liberty for all beings, do ordain and establish this New Republic. Let the stars sing! Let the planets shout! Let the Republic begin!" ―Excerpt from the Declaration of a New Republic

The New Republic was the name of the galactic government formed by the Alliance to Restore the Republic, to replace the Galactic Empire after the Battle of Endor. Like its predecessor, it was often reffered to as the Republic, but less often, it was called the the New Galactic Republic or the Second Galactic Republic.

It was founded in 4 ABY, after the dissolution of the former Alliance of Free Planets (formed directly after the Battle of Endor as an intermediate government). It was to become the galaxy's supreme authority.
