Republic Navy/Legends

The Republic Navy, also called the Old Republic Navy and probably called the Galactic Navy, was the name for the defensive fleet used by the Galactic Republic.

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 Knights in repelling attacks from the Sith Order and other aggressors.

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. It's priorities were shifted from full scale conflict to Sector and System patrol, anti-pirate activity, and exploration.

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. When the Galactic Empire was formed, the Republic Navy became the Imperial Navy.
