The Core

The Core was the name of the Galactic Government that was made up during the resolution of Pride of the Core in 10 ABY. It was established to keep the peace in the galaxy, and mainly because a civil war on Boz Pity recreated the Galatic Core. The Civil War on Boz Pity ended up recreating Pride of the Core, and a Jedi Knight named Aurek Besh. Aurek knew that the New Republic wouldnt last, the Government wasnt unified enough to keep the peace, so Aurek just left the New Republic alone. The New Republic wanted to create an alliance with The Core and of course The Core said yes, but really never did much with this Alliance. The Alliance was just so civilians from both sides wouldnt want a war.

The Core was a representative democracy, composed of various star systems, sectors and member worlds throughout most of the known galaxy. Its central government consisted of three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. The first was the Galactic Senate, a body of elected or appointed representatives. Its main duties included mediating disputes over issues ranging from planetary to galactic-scale, regulating trade routes between star systems, and in theory, represented the interests of Republic citizens. The Office of the Supreme President was the Senate's executive counterpart. The Supreme President was elected from the ranks of the Senate by its members. As the leader of the Senate and the overall representative of the Republic, the President also held the titles Head of State. The judicial branch consisted of the Supreme Court and the lower Regional Courts. The Supreme Court was composed of twelve justices, one of whom held the leadership position of Chief Justice.

The Galaxy thought that the New Republic would create peace, and after the Galactic Empire was defeated planets started to dislike the Republic. The Core would get entire star systems to ask to join The Core, and some asked for War. The Core had restablished GAC (Grand Army of the Core) and RNC (Royal Navy of the Core) but they knew war would be too destructive and too costly. Peace raigned in The Core until suddenly hate for the New Republic became enough that it was fragmented and restored into the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. The Core knew to stay out of the federeations way, and never had an Alliance with the Government, even though it was more like the Old Republic. The Core knew that someday the Federation would fall, and that The Core would finnaly get Galactic Control.

42 ABY, it happened. The Federation was fragmented, and The Core knew what to do. There wasnt any Government at Coruscant, so Pride of the Core took the chance and invaded Coruscant. They took it over easily and setup their government. For over 30,000 years Pride of the Core and now The Core has wanted Coruscant as their Capital but they settled for Boz Pity, now Coruscant was theres and peace would raign.

History
In 10 ABY Supreme President Aurek Besh was happy to lead The Core, he is renowned as besing The Core's best President and other than Supreme President Phil Hall, renowed as being the Hero of the Core. The New Republic was already getting allot of hate, mainly because the leaders never had to deal with an entire galaxy, and Pride of the Core was there and it was what the galaxy wanted to rule. Corellia was the on planet that The Core was having a bad time with, they wanted to destroy the New Republic and have The Core take over, but they were asking for the impossible. The New Republic had a bigger and better Army, and The Core didnt want a war at that time. Supreme President Aurek Besh knew just how to say no to Corellia, and they always went peacefuly back to their buisness but the New Republic always did something that outraged Corellia. The Core knew better than to allow Corellia to join, mainly because the New Republic had Corellia on a very tight leash. Galactic Representive of the New Republic Betl Niktono asked The Core to become an ally of the New Republic. Supreme President overuled the Galactic Senate and The House of Rep. to keep the peace. He said yes, and at that moment the Galactic Senate and House of Rep. was outraged, they were swaying towards war against the New Republic. Aurek too was swaying towards war but with the Jedi alligned with the Republic he knew better than to start a war. The Senate and the House finnaly saw why he said yes to the Alliance and they agreed with his actions. 27 ABY the New Republic was fragmented, and The Core's leaders all said to swarm the core and take over Coruscant, but Supreme President Aurek again said no. The Senate was growing tired of Aurek's actions, the house was too. Without the Supreme Presidents knowing The Core's government took a vote, Impeach or not. Out of 260 votes only 65 said Impeach so Aurek stayed as President. Then again the Senate and the House knew why Aurek said no to capturing Coruscant. In 28 ABY the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances was created and by 41 ABY the federation was fragmented and it never again ruled the galaxy. The Core took its chance in 42 ABY and took Coruscant by force. They got Coruscant finnally and the Galaxy had peace. The Jedi Order sided with the Core and the Galaxy was happier than ever, Corellia made it a nation holiday, The Core Freedom Day. Now Supreme President Aurek started strenghing GAC and RNC, and they became more powerful than the New Republic could have dreamed of. Using the same ship designs Pride of the Core did, and using the same type of military units, The Core became the most powerful Military Force in galactic History. But in 50 ABY an old enemy of Pride of the Core came back for revenge.

The Great Mandalorian War
The Core was caught off guard, not knowing any force would try to defeat The Core. The Core didnt want a huge war, so it gathered all of GAC and RNC and set out to take over Mandalore. Supreme President didn't like this, he knew something was wrong about this. Supreme Commander Narlok Shanks ordered it and told the Supreme President not worry. The President had a right to worry, because when The Core's fleet went out of Hyperspace they saw the Biggest fleet ever in Galactic History. Mandalore must have been making it since the first mandalorian wars against Pride of the Core and their war against the Republic. The Mandalorian fleet tried to surround The Core's fleet but failed, the Mandalorian General Shask Mark knew that he had lost to many ships on the first assult. He never retreated, only because of his mandalorian pride, and the Mandalorian's biggest fleet was destroyed. The Assult on Mandalore was quick and easy and Mandalore was taken by The Core. The war ended in one battle, and The Core only lost one ship in the first space battle, and only 10 troops died.

The Fel Empire
The First of the Fel Empire was on Coruscant, but they were quickly kicked out by The Core, and sadly then taken over by the Sith. The Core was furious at this outrage, why would someone try to start a Goverment on their Capital. It ended just as it started and for The Core it was alright by them.

Peace
The Sith Empire kept to themselves, always ploting against The Core but never doing anything. Peace started at 130 ABY and stayed that way forever. Pride of the Core's first Supreme President Phil Hall wouldnt believe if he knew how well The Core was doing. But sadly the year peace started made the Galaxy mourn, Supreme President Aurek was shot by a Bounty Hunter, who was never prosicuted. The Galaxy started to love having him as his leader, and The Core was mad as hell. The Bounty Hunter whos name was Fak Damer had to just go into space, off a hyperspace route and he comitted suicide. The Galaxy hated his every breath and would have tourtured him more than anyone alive could take. A New Supreme President named  Jessica Gafomaar took over and the galaxy again was happy.

Government and politics
Pride of the Core began as a mutual protection and economic alliance among a number of planets in the galactic core. Pride of the Core's greatest failing was its lack of formal organization. Much of its operation was based on non-binding constitutional conventions, which were more often ignored and undermined by corrupt and power-hungry politicians than heeded. Coalition governments were common, with special interests defining the legislative agenda. The Senate, in the later years of the Pride of the Core, was so ineffectual that many politically connected corporations and informal blocs of ideologically like minded planets could essentially do what they wanted, but The Core built on that and created a Government so true to its values that it never had a bad leader in office.

Within the government, much of the bureaucracy was handled by the General Ministry. Within this body were the Ministries of State, Intelligence, Commerce, Defense, Education, Finance, License and Permits, Public Information, Science, Security and Intelligence, Internal Security, and Science and Education.

Legislative Branch
Each member state (system governments) returned a representative (a senator) to a central legislative body (the Senate). Senators were the ambassadors of their home worlds, and member worlds were able to maintain their government and society in accordance with local beliefs, customs, and traditions. There was a wide variety of different local governments along the political spectrum: from monarchies to republics to hive-like communes. In some systems, the senator was elected to that post; in others, the world government appointed the senator. Naboo's monarch appointed their senators, while the Alderaan Council of Elders elected their senator out of their own ranks (usually the heir to the Royal House of Organa, as the heir was also the leader of the council).

When The Cores's power and influence expanded, many new areas of the galaxy were incorporated into The Core. The most common organization for these new territories was to group regions into sectors of approximately fifty inhabited worlds. Each sector was represented by a senatorial delegation. When the number of senators became too large, sectors were organized into roughly a thousand regions, each represented by one delegation to the Senate.

The Senate was headquartered in an enormous building containing many floating platforms, each of which contained several senators. Each platform in the Senate represented a "sector" of the galaxy, with one senator from each planet in that sector. Some platforms represented individual worlds, others the powerful corporations and guilds such as the Trade Federation. Along with the senators, the leaders of the individual member planets also had the power to vote in the Senate and introduce legislation. The Senate followed such parliamentary rules as a Vote of No Confidence (voting the Supreme President out of office).

Senators received one vote in all matters—procedural and substantive. The Chancellor was elected from within the Senate. The assembly was in turn divided into individual committees, each specializing in specific fields of government administration, and which were responsible for creating legislation to be reviewed by the full assembly.

Although legislation passed by the Senate was binding to all member worlds, most of the everyday legislation followed by citizens of the Republic was created at the planetary, sector, or regional level. Therefore, the main functions of the Senate were to mediate disputes between members, provide for the common defense, and regulate inter-system trade.

Executive Branch
The members of the Senate would then elect a Supreme President from amongst their ranks who would serve as Pride of the Core's head of government (and, by default, head of state) and chief diplomat.

The office was largely powerless in the last years of the Core, and the President served mainly as an officiator of parliamentary procedure and the first among equals in the Senate. However, it had the authority to call an Extraordinary Session of the Senate, and could invoke "President's prerogative" in circumventing minor aspects of the Senate's parliamentary procedure. He also was the head of the Senatorial Council.

It was still a very prestigious position, however, and the President had a grand office in both the Senate Rotunda's Chancellery and in the dome-like Senate Office Building in Galactic City. The President was properly addressed as "Your Excellency." The symbol of the office of the President, as well as the Galactic Senate as a whole, was a fanned spear. This cygnet was also emblazoned prominently on the Chancellor's podium in the center of the Senate Rotunda's Main Chamber. When in the Main Chamber, the President usually wore a Veda cloth robe. The President was elected from among the senators who made up the Galactic Senate and served a term of office that lasted for four standard years. A President could legally serve only two consecutive four-year terms before he or she had to step down due to term limits.

The office became much more powerful during the term of Supreme President Qustrodon, who was able to convince the Senate to grant him a range of "emergency" powers due to the Civil War, including an unconstitutional extension of his term of office after 24 BBY for the duration of the Separatist Crisis and authority as commander-in-chief of their new military during the Civil War. The President was given more direct power over administrative concerns, and he was allowed to overrule local planetary and sectoral governments. The Sector Governance Decree allowed him to appoint military governors to every planet in the Republic, and the Security Act amendment gave him complete control over the Republic military, stripping both the Jedi and the Senate of their previous oversight.

Judical Branch
The Supreme Court was the highest court of law in Pride of the Core, and composed the judicial branch of the Core's government. The Supreme Court was headquartered in the Galactic Courts of Justice Building on Boz Pity.

The Court consisted of twelve justices (each addressed as "Your Honor"); one of them was the Chief Justice who headed both the Court and the judicial branch. The Supreme President apparently could influence appointments to the Court in some way (at least during Qustrodon's tenure), most likely through nominations.

In addition to serving as a "court of last resort" and as a determiner of constitutional legality, the Supreme Court also tried cases involving the highest politicians and most noteworthy people in the Republic. However, at least some cases (including the trial of senators for treason) were handled by the Senate.

Economy
At the heart of the galactic economy was planetary trade. Interplanetary trade could support a local economy, but, in many cases, the high levels of economic interaction and the massive scale of exchange required for an advanced society could only be funded by interplanetary exports. While some planets maintained their own shipping fleets, most relied on large freight firms, such as Xizor Transport Systems, or independent freight haulers to carry their goods along major hyperlanes.

The Corporate Sector was first formed in 490 BBY to free the Republic lawmakers and the Corporate moneymakers from their differences. In the last millennia of the Core, commercial interests began to form guilds to increase their influence on relevant legislation and achieve greater efficiency.

Thousands of currencies were used across the galaxy. The Galactic Republic's dataries were perhaps the most widespread form of currency. Because of the Republic's exceptional membership, dataries were accepted on all but the most remote planets. From its inception, the credit was backed by the immense wealth of the planet Muunilinst and the InterGalactic Banking Clan. During the Clone Wars, the IGBC backed the currencies of both sides.

All working beings were required to pay income taxes, which were collected by the Core Tax Collection Agency. In the later years of the Core, a transit tax of 15% was levied to raise revenue for the government.

Society and Culture
The Core had a very diverse culture. Member worlds were able to maintain their own culture in accordance with local beliefs, customs, and traditions. There was a wide variety of different cultures within the Republic: from religious communities like the Jedi to hive-like communes.

The Core had a liberal policy towards arts also. The dominant aesthetic style of The Core was opulence and ornamentation.

Although Humanocentrism was technically outlawed by the Rights of Sentience clause of the Galactic Constitution, it still very much existed throughout the life of the Core. Human-led organizations such as Czerka enslaved entire nonhuman races, while planetary governments such as that of Taris reserved the best sections of the world for Humans, while forcing non-humans into ghettos. The majority of slaves in the galaxy were non-humans.

Military
The Core's earliest days were not peaceful ones, since, as the Core expanded across the galaxy, it encountered many warlike species. The Core realized the need for an army and navy to keep the peace. The Core's military forces would serve throughout many conflicts, including the Mintooine Civil War, the Great Hutt War, Pride of the Core Civil War, and The Mandalorian Trade War.

Several trade corporations, such as the Trade Federation, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and the Commerce Guild, kept their own security forces in order to protect their profits, but they often abused this power, such as in the Battle of Naboo. Individual sectors also maintained their own security forces, such as Naboo's Royal Naboo Security Forces or CorSec from Corellia, and these were sometimes used to combat small threats. However there was no centralized command, and the members of the late-period Core loathed change.

Royal Security
Security was "Air Tight" at the Capital Building on Boz Pity. The Supreme President was under such big protection that not even the Supreme General was allowed inside the Supreme President city long estate. Jedi were allowed with clearance, and the only security forces that were allowed inside were Jedi Temple Guards that were allowed by the Jedi Order to be part of Pride of the Core's Royal Security. The Jedi Temple Guards were mainly the only security but there was the Royal security force created by the Senate to insure nothing bad happened. The Jedi Guards were the only Jedi other than the Supreme President that were part of Pride of the Core. The Jedi Temple guards were picked by Phil Hall for their loyalty and because Pride of the Core was the only political faction in the galaxy to be run by Jedi. Jedi Temple Guards wore formal brown robes and identity-concealing masks, which displayed their sense of emotional detachment that was required in service to a higher calling. Temple Guards carried large lightsaber pikes—double-bladed lightsaber that produced a yellow blade, which was considered rare among Jedi of the time.This was the same on Coruscant.

Astrography
All the Core worlds, and most of the Outer Rim except hutt and sith controled space was The Core's space.

Supreme President Aurek Besh
Supreme President Aurek Besh was the second best Supreme President in Galactic History, he always tried to prevent war and he always tried to do what was best for the entire galaxy, he was shot in the head while with his wife on Coruscant, and always will be honored with the Hero of Honor award.
