War of the Unknown Regions (Free Edit)

"People of the New Galactic Republic Senate, With great reluctance, i accept the burden of which was granted to me, with all that i am."

- An excerpt from the newly-elected Supreme Chancellor Leia Organa's acceptance speech. The War of the Unknown Regions, also known as the Second Galactic Civil War, is an ongoing conflict between the New Republic and the First Order.

After the Destruction of the Hosnian System and, later, the Destruction of Starkiller Base, The New Republic was heavily crippled, distraught by the loss of most of the New Republic's members of Government.

Remaining Members of the New Republic Senate were desperate to find a new Supreme Chancellor to succeed the late Lanever Villecham. At the same time, Leia Organa rejoined the Senate after pressure from various systems and urged the Senators to not look on her with distrust for her father's actions. After one month in the Senate, Leia Organa won the Supreme Chancellor Election by Popular Vote and enacted the "Second Military Creation Act" which created the New Republic Defense Force, restrengthening the New Republic's military in case the First Order regains their own strength.

At the same time, the First Order is reeling from the loss of Starkiller Base and most of it's military infrastructure. As a result, General Hux was executed for his failure and, later, resurrected through cloning, after Kylo Ren successfully urged Snoke to reconsider. Shortly after, Cloning Facilities, based on the ones on Kamino during the Clone Wars, began to be constructed sporadically to compensate for the losses of thousands of stormtroopers on Starkiller Base, after the construction, Kylo Ren volunteered to be the template for the new Clone Stormtroopers, While the new Stormtroopers are clones of Kylo, they do not share his connection through the force.

In the year 38 ABY, Both Factions recovered from the battle preceding it, the New Republic's forces became the dominant force in the galaxy due to the successful "Remember the Hosnian System" recruitment campaign, as well as most Independent Nations joining the New Republic. The war officially began once spies within the Hosnian System began to report heavy First Order activity within the Unknown Regions, leading to the discovery that the First Order has been restrengthening it's own forces.
