| - The Galactic Republic was the ruling government of the galaxy that existed until the end of the Second Clone Wars era. During its reign, it was commonly referred to as the Republic, and its members as Republicans. Since the year of 52 ABY, a Republican named Exhart Martineus won the discussion on creating a brand new clone army, in preparation for a war with the Federal Society, and the Great Clone Forces was formed. The Republic 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 Chancellor was the Senate's executive counterpart. The Supreme Chancellor 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 Chancellor also held the titles Head of State and President. 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. As the end of the Second Clone Wars came nearer, a Dark Lord of the Sith disguised as a Republican killed the Supreme Chancellor and immediately issued Order 50-1, forcing all clone troopers who were most loyal to the Republic to kill all Jedi they see and eventually exterminate themselves. The Sith Lord took immediate control of the Galactic Republic, remaining disguised as the Chancellor permanently, transforming it into the Dark Galactic Republic, which focused on the Dark Side of the Force for power. Eventually, the surviving defective clone troopers uprised as rebels against the Republic, clashing in the Third Clone Wars. The clone rebels eventually destroyed the Chancellor and the Republic, entirely dying off in the process, restoring peace to the galaxy.
