The New Republic’s rise and fall speaks to the cycle of conflict that’s defined the Star Wars universe

The New Republic is one of the biggest parts of the Star Wars universe after the climax of Return of the Jedi.

It's a state of power in the galaxy that defines three decades of Star Wars chronology before it’s upended in the sequel trilogy.

Marvel's comics, between the recent Battle of Jakku comics miniseries and the upcoming relaunch of the main ongoing Star Wars series, are exploring those crucial early years .

Imperial Future Council was meant to establish a path forward to transition from Palpatine ’s rule to a new figurehead for the Empire.

But a combination of internal sabotage and internal sabotage saw the IFC almost completely eradicated through death or capture, save for Admiral Rae Sloane .

The New Republic Senate approved a path to peace talks between Mon Mothma and now Grand Admiral Rae .

But the talks, coinciding with a celebration for Alliance prisoners liberated as part of the rebellion on Kashyyyk , were thrown into disarray.

A new Imperial ruling council rose up under the command of Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax .

The Galactic Civil War came to an end with the signing of the Galactic Concordance , a treaty that included articles for the Empire’s total surrender to the New Republic .

Coruscant was given dedicated space within the core and inner sectors that it was strictly enforced to remain in, while the dissolution of the Imperial Academy system effectively put a limit on the recruitment and development of new armed forces.
