The Republic Navy, also referred to as the Galactic Republic Navy, Galactic Republic Fleet, or simply known as the Republic Starfleet or Republic Fleet, was the navy of the Republic Military of the New Galactic Republic. Consisting of an abundance of warships of large variety, the Republic Navy served to transport the Army of the Republic across the galaxy, while also engaging in ship-to-ship combat with the Third Order Navy, maintaining security for Republic supply lines, and defending the Core Worlds.
Following the end of the First Order-Resistance War and the reformation of the Republic, the ships of the Resistance Navy were absorbed into the newly created Republic Navy while also receiving donated ships from Republic worlds until shipyards could begin producing vessels for the Republic Navy. The Republic Starfleet was part of many pivotal battles during the Second Clone Wars including the Battle of Geonosis, the Battle of Taris, the Battle of New Sydney, the Battle of Coruscant, and the Outer Rim Sieges.
History[]
Creation[]
With the re-establishment of the Republic following the end of the First Order-Resistance War in 35 ABY, the Republic Navy was created by the Military Creation Act, along with the Army of the Republic with the Republic Chancellor as its overall leader. Due to the destruction of the New Republic Fleet during the Hosnian Cataclysm in 34 ABY, the Resistance Navy and donated starships from Republic worlds were absorbed into the impromptu navy. Later, the navy consisted of Venator-class II star destroyers, as well as Acclamator-class assault ships. With T-70 X-wing starfighters and RZ A-wing interceptors already in the navy's stock, the T-85 X-wing starfighter that was already created for the New Republic was commissioned to supplement it.

The various starships in the Republic Navy's arsenal served as the Republic's primary force projection mechanism. After its creation in 35 ABY, the Republic Navy found itself in possession of capital ships and sub-capital ships that were many years old.
Capital ships[]
During its active history, the Republic Navy made use of several types of capital ships. Several classes of carriers and battleships were pressed into Republic naval service, as well as Star Destroyers. Venator-class II Star Destroyers assumed the role of a starfighter carrier
