The Galactic Republic

The Galactic Republic was the ruling government of the galaxy for 25,034 years, until the establishment of the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY. Although it was commonly known as the Old Republic, this was not so until the establishment of the Empire; its name when it existed was the Galactic Republic, or simply the Republic. Rarely, it was referred to as the First Galactic Republic. At times, the term Old Order was used to describe it. The Republic, led by a Supreme Chancellor, had a supposedly democratic government that was able to sustain itself for over a twenty-five thousand year period. For most of its duration as the dominant galactic power, the Republic did not style itself as a strong centralized government, but rather as a union of sovereign planets for the purposes of promoting trade, mediating disputes, and ensuring mutual protection. It is said that its complete history would "fill a thousand libraries". In its latest years, it was a benevolent—though ineffectual—government tied up in layers of bureaucracy.
