Republic officer

Republic officers were military officers who served the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. Throughout the war, they commanded the warships of the Republic Navy and assisted the members of the Jedi Order with their new role as leaders of the Grand Army of the Republic. In the aftermath of the conflict, some officers such as Wilhuff Tarkin and Wullf Yularen went on to serve the Republic's successor state, the Galactic Empire.

Overview
During the Clone Wars, a group of veteran officers were incorporated by the Republic Navy, the naval branch of the newly-established armed forces of the Galactic Republic. As a result of a wartime agreement between Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine and the Jedi Order, Republic officers were assigned to work with the Jedi Generals of the Grand Army of the Republic.
