Great Peace

"There hasn't been a full-scale war since the formation of the Republic."

- Sio Bibble

The Great Peace was a millennium-long period of time characterized by the lack of galaxy-spanning conflicts, however smaller sector and system conflicts, such as the Stark Hyperspace War or the Mandalorian Civil War consumed the time and energy of the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order. The Great Peace began at the end of the Jedi–Sith war, where the Sith were believed to have been defeated by the Jedi Order, and the Old Republic was reformed into the Galactic Republic. During this time, the Jedi Order enjoyed political ascension, constructing a new academy on Coruscant to train Jedi younglings in the way of the Force.

The Great Peace's end came at the Battle of Geonosis, where the Republic entered war with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, led by the resurgent Sith, Count Dooku. The Sith had not completely died out at the end of their war with the Jedi, and had been plotting in the shadows to overthrow the Jedi and the Republic.
