"Earth shouldn't join the Separatists! We should join the Galactic Republic! The Republic is better for us to join! However, as well all know, Queen Jane I and her ESF are trying to get Earth to join the CIS, we mustn't let them succeed!"

- A speech by President of the Eart for the Galactic Republic Richard Williams

Earth for the Galactic Republic was a pro-Republic political party on the planet Earth. Their main goal was to get Earth to enter the Galactic Republic, and were the arch-nemesis' of pro-Separatist Queen Jane I and her Earth Separatist Faction party, who were trying to get Earth to join the CIS.

EGR began in 20 BBY, a few months after Separatist scouts had discovered the Earth, and Queen Jane I began working on getting Earth admitted as a member of the CIS, the EGR was an alliance between pro-Republic, anti-Separatist and anti-Queen Jane I parties of Earth, such as the Republican Party and the Anti-Separatist Party.

Not long after the creation of the EGR the Galactic Republic invaded Earth, as a means to stop Earth joining the CIS, Dooku was interested in the Earth's raw resources and potential to become a shipbuilding superpower, one which, with investment, could possibly even rival Kuat.

However the Separatists had built up lots of defences, and even intel from the pro-Republic parties of Earth on Separatist activities couldn't help the Republic defeat the huge Separatist forces, the invasion of defeated, and Earth joined the CIS.

One of the first actions of new Separatist member Queen Jane I was to make all anti-Separatist, pro-Republic parties illegal on Earth, and had ringleaders of all of the pro-Republic parties who had fought her in the Battle of Earth imprisoned or executed for treason. Even Richard Williams himself was caught, however Jane I specifically stated he was to be imprisoned, so she could speak with him, to try and convert him to the Separatists, however his refusal to join her angered her, and after continued refusal to all of her efforts, she snapped and shouted at Richard that he would be left to rot in his prison cell until he joined her.

"You are blind and foolish! How can the Republic be the better choice for Earth? Have you not heard of all the corruption, sleaze, greed and bureaucracy that plagues the Republic like a disease? The Separatists fight the corruption, fight the greed, fight the bureaucratic mess that is the Republic Senate!"
