Special Tribunal for the former Galactic Empire

"This body has been created to hold those who committed serious violations of intergalactic law during the war are brought to justice for their crimes."

- Mon Mothma

The Special Tribunal for the former Galactic Empire, often abbreviated as the STGE, was a pan-galactic judicial body created and administered by the Alliance to Restore the Republic (and later the New Republic once it was officially established) in the months following the end of the Galactic Civil War at the Battle of Jakku in 5 ABY. It was created to prosecute serious war crimes, crimes against peace, and crimes against the galaxy committed by agents of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was an ad hoc tribunal and was located on Coruscant.
