Senator?
Does anyone know who the Senator to Naboo was between Palpatine and Amidala? -- Riffsyphon1024 17:26, 16 Mar 2005 (GMT)

"First full-scale war since the founding of the Republic"
Which character said that?
 * Im pretty sure its Sio Bibble, and the exact quote is 'there hasnt been a full scale war since the founding of the republic.' Oh, and please sign your comments. Durnar 19:29, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Military
Did the Old Republic have an Army and Navy? During the events of the Freedom Nadd Uprising, the Republic deployed specially trained airborne troops called Republic rocket-jumpers. In the Tales of the Jedi comics, Republic troops are shown. They wear helmets and light armour similar to the Rebel troopers onboard the Tantive IV. The Republic also had a military shipyard at Foerost, as shown in Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War. During the Jedi Civil War, the Republic had a naval fleet most notably the Ravager and the Leviathan. The Republic decomissioned most of its military after the Seventh Battle of Ruusan in 1,000 BBY. The Judicial Department then takes over the role of the Army and Navy. 222.152.182.37
 * They definitely have a navy. Remember that courier that transported Qui-gon and Obi-wan in Episode 1? They probably just didn't have a dedicated Army till AotC. Narvi 12:13, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, that ship, the Radiant VII, is just a diplomatic cruiser. That ship was not part of any navy; by the time of TPM, the Republic basically had no army and/or navy. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 21:08, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Mm. Really? Then why were the Trade Feds so afraid of Senate intervention? They must have had some sort of defence force, if just to ward off pirates and the like. I think they had sector level defenses, (like, say, the Corellian Defence Force) but there was no formalized 'navy', persay. They probably could have organized a massive fleet to finish off the trade fed blockade, but, you know... senate corruption. Just off the top of my head, might be wrong. Narvi 10:00, 12 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, no. The Senate was the government of the Republic. Therefore, it had the power to shut down the Trade Federation in a trial or so had the "diplomats" failed. So, prior to AotC, the Republic was really defenseless. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 21:01, 13 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * The aforementioned Judicial Department had a significant force capable of dealing with piracy and small threats. Though the Judicial Forces weren't a military per se, but rather well-equipped police, they were still occasionally referred to as the "Republic Navy." jSarek 01:20, 14 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * As JSarek said, prior to the Clone Wars, the Republic relied on the Judicial Forces and the various home fleets of its member worlds. (These home fleets had limited hyperdrive-capability, so weren't usually capable of leaving their home sector.). QuentinGeorge 21:03, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Lead in quote
Can we get a lead in quote that's less damning of the Republic? I mean it lasted for 25,000 years, so it had to be doing something rigth. Also, I was under the impression that the Republic's decline was attributed to the Sith silently interfering in the thousand year period between the New Sith Wars and the Battle of Naboo. -- SFH 20:59, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Quote changed. Old quote moved to section "end of democracy". QuentinGeorge 05:56, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Ahh, much better. Many thanks, Quentin. -- SFH 05:57, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Formation
What is the source for Tiberius and Xobah? -- SFH 07:19, 24 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Nothing relevant on Google, so removed. -- SFH 07:38, 24 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds like something from Star Trek. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:44, 24 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Behind the scenes section
Somebody want to thoroughly revise and expand it? I don't have the time or inclination to do it myself at the moment. Not only is it factually inaccurate (Palpy's line was in AOTC, not TPM), but it takes a needlessly damning tone towards EU "inventions".--Valin Kenobi 06:20, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I fixed it. :)--Valin Kenobi 06:46, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice job. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:42, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Symbol
We know when the 'current' symbol of the Republic (received form Dai Bentu) replaced the former one? Did it happen on Ruusan reformation? MoffRebus 20:40, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
