The Separatist Alliance | The Confederate Military | The Clone Wars
The Galactic Republic was a usually peaceful organization which promoted interstellar diplomacy, and maintained only a modest military
capacity for much of the millennial reign of its last incarnation. The Jedi Knights acted as the military leadership and primary warriors for
the Republic, augmented by the Republic Navy, a small paramilitary army and police force called the Judicial Forces, and special forces
units from the Senate Guard. The Jedi High Council acted as the general staff of the Republic military, and commanded all military
operations authorized by the Senate.
In the last years of the Republic, the Senate authorized a Grand Army of the Republic to counter the Separatist Crisis, and began a program
of intense militarization which significantly expanded the Navy. The Republic military during the Clone Wars was made up of officers that
were already part of the service, civilians recruited as officers, and millions of clone soldiers who were considered property of the Republic.

THE JUDICIAL FORCES
The Jedi Knights and the Judicial Forces were the only standing army of the Republic for over 900 years. They primarily served as federal
police, but were also deployed to augment and reinforce the Jedi, who lead any Republic efforts which have devolved into open conflict.
They were a small but effective fighting force, however principally served in a law enforcement role.
Known Staff Officers
THE SENATE GUARD
The Senate Guard was a security force which protected the Senate. Senate Commandos were an elite force of soldiers which defended
Senate members on sensitive assignments and handled security for high value persons called before the Senate. The Guard existed as
an organization on Coruscant since the Old Republic, and were the Republic's most elite soldiers besides the Jedi prior to the Clone Wars.
Known Staff Officers
THE GALACTIC REPUBLIC NAVY
The Republic Navy, though modest, was an institution which like the Jedi and the Senate Guard dated back to the days of the Old Republic,
and had existed as an organization for many thousands of years. The Republic normally maintained a small but effective Navy, primarily
composed of support vessels and escort-size warships, however no doubt had some larger cruisers and capital ships due to the necessities
of maintaining defensive potential in a galaxy with trillions of people and advanced military technology. The Navy boasted some of
the Republic's most experienced military personnel, as regional wars and smaller engagements were sporadic but did occur during
the peaceful eras of the Republic. These officers formed the core of a far larger Republic Navy during the Clone Wars.
Leadership
The admiralty of the Republic Navy High Command was subordinate to the Jedi Council. Naval officers in the field occupied
an executive position second to the Jedi Generals in charge of the campaigns during the Clone Wars.
Known Staff Officers
Starfleet
The Republic Starfleet was normally composed of hundreds of starships and thousands of support vessels and starfighters.
During the Clone Wars, it was expanded to include thousands of warships and tens of thousands of starfighters.

Starbases
The Republic maintained starbases at some locations around the galaxy, and during the Clone Wars deployed a system
of medical stations to deal with their many casualties in the war.
THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
The Grand Army of the Republic was formed in 7955 (22 BBY), to give the Republic its first standing army in a millennium, about three
and a half years before the end of the Republic. It combined the huge Clone Army with experienced officers from the Republic's Judicial
Forces as strategic and logistical staff officers, and the Jedi as the general staff officers and field commanders. Its initial troop strength of
200,000 was quickly brought close to 1.2 million soon after the start of the war, and would number in the millions throughout the war.
Leadership
The Grand Army was under the direct authority of the Supreme Chancellor, with the Jedi High Council serving as the general staff. Jedi
Knights and Masters who were commissioned as officers were given the rank of General, and commissioned Padawans given the rank
of Commander. Clone staff officers had the same education and training as 'enlisted'-level officers, and thus there was no barrier
preventing Troopers, Corporals, and Sergeants from being promoted to staff officer ranks.
