New Republic (OOM's timeline)

The New Republic was the successor state of the Galactic Republic following its failures during the First Republic-Imperial War.

Founding
After the Battle of Yavin, the Republic was drowning in debt, most of its military was either made up of conscripts or captured, if not dead, and instability was on the rise. It was decided by the senate to end the war and to reorganize into a new government to stop the corruption and violence. It was unanimously voted, and the Galactic Empire ceased all military operations against the New Republic.

Early Years
"Five years ago, this region looked like it was on the brink of a civil war. Now it looks like everyone is more, united, then ever."

- Imperial Chancellor Thrawn

By 5 ABY, the situation was improving for the inner regions of the galaxy, and the New Republic was flourishing. The Galactic Empire and the New Republic coexisted peacefully and the New CIS had done away with the long troublesome Hutt Space. The galaxy appeared to be entering a new era of peace and prosperity. However, the Galactic Empire was still militarizing, even though no war was be fought. In 6 ABY, the Galaxy was thrown into the Second Republic-Imperial War, when the Galactic Empire (under the influence of Darth Jar Jar), had executed a major military strike on the New Republic capital. This was however beaten back, and quickly the New Republic mobilized all of its forces to strike back. The New CIS stayed out of this war, but it wouldn't matter in the end. After the death of Imperial Chancellor Thrawn in 10 ABY, and the Empire being pushed back, it all culminated into the Battle of Endor, where the Galactic Empire made its last stand. As expected, the Galactic Empire lost, and a peace was signed, giving the New CIS control over some Imperial territory, and the New Republic jurisdiction over the Outer Rim, the first time since 1 BBY.

Rise of the First Order
Even though the Empire was defeated at Endor, and all of its forces depleted or scattered, they all came together to create the First Order, a successor to help avenge the Empire.

Government
The New Republic, in a unprecedented move, changed the capital from Coruscant to Hosnian Prime. This new government seeked to root out the corruption of the previous government, and to restore order near the center of the galaxy. The New Republic was led by a Chancellor, and had a senate, similar to the one of the previous Republic. This New Republic also saw to help rebuild the worlds torn apart by the First Republic-Imperial War.

Politics
Despite the the recent memory of the Clone Wars, many former CIS worlds that had either not fallen to the control of the Galactic Empire or the New CIS, were invited to join the New Republic. Many Imperials had been captured during the war, and the senate debated the heated topic of what to do with them. Some suggested that they be executed, but most agreed to return them to the Galactic Empire, as a sign of good-will and to prevent another war. The Chancellor could also cast a vote in the senate if there was a tie, but this was seldom.

Military
The New Republic Military inherited the Old Republic's military, and quickly reformed it to help meet the standards of the Galactic Empire. The military was made up of recruited humans, and many other species. The navy was reformed from using old Clone War era ships to using modern Mon Calamari ships.
