Unification Policies

"And it was his so-called Unification Policies that have drawn so many worlds back into the web of Republic influence."

- Paak talking about Tarsus Valorum and his Unification Policies

The Unification Policies were a set of legal guidelines and recommendations thought of by Supreme Chancellor Tarsus Valorum.

History
Following the Battle of Ruusan, Tarsus Valorum came up with the Unification Policies to help reunite the far-flung star systems that made up the Galactic Republic. He wanted to bring these far-flung worlds back into the web of Republic influence.

After these policies were enacted, the Galactic Senate was able to enforce the regulations of membership in the Republic. Because many groups saw this as a form of bullying, nearly one–hundred separatist groups rose up after the policies were approved. Although they all tried to oppose the government's ability to keep a star system in the Republic, they did it in vain.

Behind the scenes
The Unification Policies were first mentioned,along with the Ruusan Reformation,in Darth Bane: Rule of Two. But, they were described in more detail in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.
