Republic Navy/Legends

The Republic Navy was the defensive fleet used by the Galactic Republic throughout many millennia.

History
"The Republic never had its own navy until the Clone Wars. It always depended on the home fleets to supply what was necessary."

- Jan Dodonna

In millennia past, the Republic Navy was quite large, as not all planets encountered placed such a great emphasis on peaceful contact. For 4,000 years, the Republic Navy worked almost side by side with the Jedi Order in repelling attacks from the Sith Order and other aggressors. Any planetary government could call upon the Navy's help, although it would need Senate approval if the action was to last longer than seven standard days. Individual senators also often commandeered Navy groups for their own benefit.

During the Mandalorian Wars, the technological ancestors of the Star Destroyer would be manufactured, such as the Leviathan and the Ravager. Later, during the Jedi Civil War, the Republic used smaller ships such as the Endar Spire and the Harbinger.

After the New Sith Wars, the Republic scaled down the Navy as part of the Ruusan Reformation, and placed it under the control of the Judicial Department. Its priorities were shifted from full-scale conflict to sector-scale and system-scale patrol, anti-pirate operations, and exploration of the Galaxy.



During the final years of the Republic, a Militarist faction attempted to reform the Republic Navy and Army, but progress was slow. The Katana fleet was the first attempt by the Republic to make a functioning armada for the Navy, but it was soon lost. In 44 BBY during the Stark Hyperspace War, Ranulph Tarkin tried to portray the space forces of his fleet as the legitimate Republic Navy, even referring to it as such.

Decades later, the Republic Navy operated alongside the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, and absorbed the local defense fleets following the Battle of Rendili. Until the passage of the Security Act shortly before the war's end, the Navy was under the joint command of the Galactic Senate and Jedi Council; afterwards, the Supreme Chancellor served as its sole commanding authority. When the Galactic Empire was formed, the Republic Navy became the Imperial Navy.
