- "Have you no faith in the soldiers of the New Republic, Senator Sindian? Senator Organa will travel with an entire squadron of guards to protect her at all times. Do not doubt their ability or their valor!"
- ―Senator Arbo, to Lady Carise Sindian
New Republic soldiers, also known as New Republic troops, were the soldiers of the New Republic's military. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Republic soldiers fought on the planet Uyter.[1] Republic soldiers took part in the Battle of Jakku, a major battle which ended the Galactic Civil War in the New Republic's favor and led to the signing of the Galactic Concordance.[4] By 9 ABY New Republic soldiers were responsible for overseeing prisoner transportation aboard New Republic Correctional Transports guarded by security droids.[5] Twenty-four years after the Battle of Endor, they were used to guard the New Republic senatorial complex on Hosnian Prime.[2]
Organization[]
New Republic soldiers could be placed under infantry units such as the Thirty-first,[6] 61st Mobile Infantry[7] or Third Recon Group.[8]
Uniforms[]
During the Galactic Civil War, New Republic soldiers wore simple vests and utility belts. They were armed with rifles and blasters.[1] In the New Republic Era, a variation of it's troop attire consisted of a blue tunic with a New Republic roundel on the left shoulder, blue trousers, white shoes, a white belt and holster and a white helmet with a black tinted visor, the same type worn by the Alderaanian consular security.[5] About twenty-four years after the Battle of Endor, New Republic soldiers stationed at the Galactic Senate on Hosnian Prime wore jackets and trousers that were not designed to inspire terror and awe. They also wore helmets that were tethered by a simple leather strap.[2]
Specialized New Republic soldiers[]
- Desert Soldiers — Troopers that operated in desert environments.[9]
- Shock trooper[10] - Troopers that protected delegates and suppressed riots.[11]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary dates the formation of the New Republic as taking place thirty years before the Starkiller Incident, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 4 ABY. Therefore, It can be deduced that the New Republic soldier was formed in 4 ABY as well.
