Admiralty (Galactic Republic)

The admiralty was a command organization of the naval military branch of the Galactic Republic. On the outbreak of the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Republic Navy had a void of small craft, and as such pressed diplomatic and civilian ships such as the Consular-class space cruiser into service. The admiralty recognized that this was a temporary solution, and as such, it initiated a campaign to provide reliable war equipment to the navy.
