The Clone Wars Sourcebook

The Galactic Republic

By Keith Kappel and Ryan Brooks THE REPUBLIC [Diplomacy +8] [Sense Motive +9] R The Galactic Republic has been the presiding governing body throughout the galaxy for nearly twenty-five millennia. It was comprised of hundreds of thousands of star systems and thousands of sentient races. Those who served the Republic faced many adversities over the millennia. The Clone Wars were no different. After a thousand years of peace and prosperity the Republic had become corrupt and decadent. There were those who came to realize this deterioration of Democracy and pledged to break away from the crumbling government. When this splitting came to all out war, the Republic was ready to answer their enemy’s call to arms with their Grand Army of the Republic. Below is a chronicling of those who remained loyal to the Republic and for what it stood.

Palpatine – Supreme Chancellor of the Republic Palpatine began his political career on his home world of Naboo at approximately twenty years of age. Fresh out of Naboo’s public service, his early political life was mired with a series of dissatisfying electoral defeats at the hands of several opponents. For nearly a decade, Palpatine maintained a drab governmental portfolio until his first big break occurred when he was thirty years old. The incumbent senator of Naboo, Vidar Kim, was assassinated in a drive-by shooting, leaving Palpatine running unopposed. He was elected to serve as the next Senator of the Chommell Sector’s thirty-seven inhabited worlds. Taking his position on the Senate floor on Coruscant, Palpa- tine led a fairly meek political record. He forged several bonds with allies such as Lieutenant Governor Wilhuff Tarkin of Eriadu, Republic Justice Department Commander Terrinald Screed, and Jedi Jorus C’boath and Ronar Kim, son of Palpatine’s former Senatorial opposition, Vidar Kim. With the assistance of his political aides, Sate Pestage and Kinman Doriana, Palpatine took part in a Republic task force sent to the Aqualish planet of Ando to negotiate the demilitarization of the planet’s inhabitants approximately nine years into his position as senator. Palpatine’s relatively uneventful track record continued for nearly twenty years, but all of that was about to change. When Palpatine was fifty years old, the Republic had incurred tremendous debt on such government-funded projects as the Holonet. The Senate passed a bill that allowed for the taxa- tion of established trade routes within Republic space in hopes that the supplemental income would alleviate some of those debts. This act sent organizations like the Trade Federation into a frenzy, and in retaliation the Neimoidian monopolized Trade Federation blockaded Palpatine’s home planet of Naboo, hoping to re-establish talks to relax or eliminate the tariffs. Despite several negotiations between the Trade Federation senator Lott Dod and Palpatine, a compromise couldn’t be reached. The cur- rent Supreme Chancellor, Finis Valorum, secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, to force a settlement and diffuse the situation before it escalated. Unfortunately, circumstances only worsened when the Trade Federation invaded Naboo and seized control of its inhabitants. Despite the best efforts of the Trade Federation the leader of the Naboo, Queen Amidala, managed to escape the planet and together with Palpatine they pleaded their world’s case to the Senate. It seemed, however, that Supreme Chancellor Valorum was far too pliable to the whims of the Trade Federation and was content to bury the incident under red tape. Palpatine suggested to Amidala that a vote of no confidence be imposed on Valorum in hopes that a new Chancellor would be elected who would be more sympathetic to their cause. As fate would have it, that was exactly what transpired. Bail Antilles of Alderaan and Palpatine of Naboo were nominated to ©lucasfilm LTD. ©lucasfilm run for the Chancellorship, and after a concise voting process Palpatine emerged victorious, becoming the final being to hold office as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. The crisis at Naboo was resolved by Queen Amidala, however, when she returned to her homeworld and united the remnants of her free people with the native Gungans. Together with Gungan leader Boss Nass, the Gungans and Naboo launched an assault on the Naboo capital of Theed, capturing the heads of the Trade Federation and handing them over to Republic authorities for their crimes. The Battle of Naboo seemed to only serve as a beginning to a domino effect that would plunge the galaxy into war. Jedi Mas- ter Qui-Gon Jinn lost his life at the hands of the Sith Lord Darth Maul during the conflict. When news of Jinn’s death reached Coruscant, Qui-Gon’s former master, Dooku, saw it as the last straw and abandoned the Jedi order, citing reasons includ- ing the Republic had become too corrupt and the Jedi placed themselves under the control of the spiraling government. After several years on his home planet of Serrano, Dooku began a secessionist movement against the Republic that quickly picked up steam. supreme chancellor palpatine Hundreds of star systems rallied to Count Dooku’s cause and for the first time in a thousand years, the Republic was the handful of remaining Jedi were about to be slaughtered, in danger of fracturing.

Sly Moore – Senior Administrative Aide to the Chancellor Sly Moore was a mysterious Umbaran female who came into the limelight during the administration of Supreme Chancellor  Palpatine. Like most Umbaran, she had an eerie calm and icy demeanor. Moore was appointed to succeed Senior Adminis- trative Aide Sei Taria shortly following Palpatine’s rise to the ©lucasfilm LTD. ©lucasfilm office of the Supreme Chancellor. Many speculated that Moore used her species’ innate abilities of influence and persuasion to convince Taria to resign from her position and secure her rank in the Galactic Senate; however, these allegations had no real basis on fact. As chief assistant to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Moore worked primarily behind the scenes. Sly would often arrange secret meetings and form clandestine agreements with various senators and governing bodies to accumulate more authority for her benefactor. One such instance took place during the crisis at Praesitlyn in the thirtieth month of the Clone Wars. Moore was given permission by Palpatine to offer Glithnos senator Jannie T Ha’Nook plenipotentiary ambassadorship in the Sluis sector he R provided she offer her full support to devote a compliment of Coruscant-based clonetroopers to the fight at Praesitlyn. When the New Order was declared, Moore remained one of Palpatine’s closet confidants. Moore had been aware of Palpa- epublic tine’s hidden agenda as well as his true identity almost from the start.

by strictly opposing any bill that was brought to the table that LTD. ©lucasfilm took advantage of the impoverished. Organa was extremely vocal in his opposition of the Military Creation Act, which called for the formation of a standing Republic army in case the Sepa- ratist conflict erupted into war. Bail was convinced that the scis- sion wouldn’t lead to outright conflict and that the creation of such an army would only escalate tension between the Republic and the newly formed Separatist group. When the Separatist’s intentions to secede from the Republic forcibly became apparent, Bail quieted his concerns on the Military Creation Act. He was an avid supporter of Chancellor Palpatine and didn’t object when Representative Jar Jar Binks of Naboo called for the vote on the Emergency Powers Act, an amendment that would grant the Chancellor more authority over the Republic without question from the Senate. Before he knew it, the Clone Wars were under way, and military strategy had become part of his day-to-day agenda as a member of the Senate Oversight Committee. Bail began spending less of his time in the Senate on matters of state, and more on fleet coor- dination and strategy with Palpatine and the Jedi Order. As the Clone Wars progressed, a greater number of decisions on the war were placed by Chancellor Palpatine as the voices of the Senators were slowly stripped away by amendment after bail organa amendment.

In the thirtieth month of the Clone Wars, Ha’Nook was called into a secret meeting by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to discuss an extremely time-sensitive matter. A massive Separatist fleet had secured the planet Praesitlyn, dampening communica- tions to the Outer Rim for the Republic. The Confederacy also poised a significant threat to the Seswenna sector from Prae- sitlyn which would easily allow them access to the Rimma Trade Route almost uncontested all the way into the Core Worlds. The Republic’s Grand Army had been stretched too thin and the only forces that could be spared were a single legion of clone troop- ers that were stationed on one of Coruscant’s moons at Centax One.

Mar Rugeyan – Head of Senate Public Affairs As head of the Senate Public Affairs Office, Mar Rugeyan was a man wholly concerned with image; specifically, media image. His primary task was to spin the news to portray the Senate and Republic government in the best light possible, and act as a liaison between the Senate and the media. Mar Rugeyan was outfitted with an office that would make many senators jealous. It was a large office on the 391st floor of the Public Affairs Office of the Support Services Center. From here, assisted by an attractive female named Jayl, Rugeyan exhausted his contacts in the defense and journalism industries to keep up image of the Senate throughout the Republic. He arranged several press conferences and interviews for senators with the public, as well as received advance copies of several holonet broadcasts, giving him time to perform damage control and issue statements when negative items made their way onto the nets. When the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, this posi- male-dee tion became critical to the morale of Republic citizens, and even helped influence many planets to remain within the Republic but dismissive, and a few days later he named himself Emperor. instead of willingly seceding to the Confederacy.

Mon Mothma – Republic Senator of Chandrilla Mon Mothma was born on the planet Chandrilla twenty-six years before the Clone Wars. Her family was heavily involved in Republic politics – her mother was the Governor of Chandrilla and her father was an arbiter-general for the Republic. It came as no surprise to her family and friends when she began to pursue a life in politics.

He was perform the part of an oracle in the play on opening night via known to line his own pockets and take maximum advantage of hologram. every perk afforded him as a senator. However, he was fiercely loyal to the Republic. Eleven years prior to the Clone Wars, he was summoned along with several other senators about taking action against the Yinchorri, who had begun a campaign of con- quest. Senator Farr supported Valorum’s blockade and embargo, pending an owed favor. Shortly afterward, just after the disaster 28 that was the Eriadu Trade Summit, met with Senators Orn Free Taa, Tikkes, and Mot Not Rab to discuss how best to take LTD. ©lucasfilm advantage of the recently politically weakened Valorum, hoping to maintain the corrupt status-quo. More than a decade later, Onaconda Farr was still the Rodian representative to the Senate, and his son had even visited the core to vote on the Military Creation Act in a mock-up voting held on Chandrilla by a legislative youth program. Senator Farr was proud to see his son create a narrow victory for what he considered to be an act vital to the survival of the Republic dur- ing the Separatist crisis. Onaconda Farr was considered one of the loudest proponents for instituting the Military Creation Act immediately. He spent much of his time as a verbal opponent to Chancellor Palpatine, who wanted to continue to try to negoti- ate with Count Dooku first. Farr felt it folly to negotiate when

Senator Farr accused Palpatine of partisanship, putting only his close political allies in the com- epublic mittee in hopes of watering down the Military Creation Act, or avoiding having to vote on the Act at all. A week later he spoke out against the Chancellor again when he put Armand Isard in charge of completely restructuring Republic Intelligence. Farr onaconda farr 9

SBI Agent Ingleman Berezz. The investigation took a month, but LTD. ©lucasfilm they found accurately that three Venator-Class Star Destroyers were re-routed from Duros defense by Onaconda Farr him- self, and Duros reinforcements from Iseno were bribed to be relocated. Both Senator Onaconda Farr and Ronet Coor were removed from office, and a groundswell movement began in the senate suggesting that the military be controlled directly by the Chancellor instead of by Senate Action Subcommittees. This, of course, was counter to everything Onaconda Farr believed in, and he made it possible. It is unknown what the former Rodian Senator did for the remainder of the Clone Wars or afterward.

Outer Rim Region Senators Sidebar: There were many other Senators in the Old Republic that served in office during the Clone Wars, some of which are listed here. Senator Fema Baab: This female senator of the Bajic Sector was a loyal supporter of Palpatine, and was one of the senators to greet him on the landing platform after being rescued from General Grievous by Anakin Skywalker. She was believed to be a spy for Palpatine by Mon Mothma and Bail Organa. Senator Han Olbeg: Senatorial representative of Pitann and the Kathol Sector, Senator Olbeg was best known for speaking out against gladatorial games, and the senators that supported the illegal sport. Senator Ivor Drake: This woman represented Kestos Minor and the Kwymar Sector during the Clone Wars, and was a mem- ber of the Delegation of 2000. She was one of 63 Senators to be arrested from the Delegation of 2000 after Palpatine became Emperor, and was never heard from again. Senator Rasit Brun: This senator of the world Rintoone and the Lambda Sector was a vocal opponent of the Trade Federation and their Senator Lott Dodd in the days leading up to the Clone Wars. Senator Rennimdius B'thog Indriummsegh: This Elomin Senator of Elom was also the leader of the Elomin Council on Elom. During his tenure as Senator, the Elom were granted near-equal rights to the Elomin, much to the Senator’s chagrin. He had a rela- tive who was later a Declaration of the New Republic signitory. Senator Shea Sadashassa: Senator to the planet Herdessa, situated between Hutt Space and the Corporate Sector, Senator Sadashassa was a member of the Delegation of 2000. Like many members of the Delegation of 2000, she was arrested shortly after Palpatine was declared Emperor along with 62 other Senators. She was never heard from again. Senator Simon Greyshade: Senator Greyshade rose to his station in the Republic representing Vorzyd V and the Commonal- ity after his cousin was assassinated. He was a corrupt young show-off, and one of his many hot-rod speeders was “borrowed” by Anakin Skywalker to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi during a deadly chase on Coruscant. He resigned after Palpatine declared himself Emperor, and took over as administrator on The Wheel, a space station that doubled as a gambling resort, where he eventually died after running afoul of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo. Senator Sweitt Concorkill: This Vurk Senator of the planet Sembla was a member of the Delegation of 2000, and attended a rendition of Squid Lake at the Galaxies Opera House during the same showing as Chancellor Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker. Senator Veedaaz Awmetth: Senator Awmetth was formerly of the Sarrish Defense Forces, but eventually was elected Senator of his native homeworld of Sarrish and the Vensensor Sector. He was one of many former colleagues that attended Senator Padme Amidala’s funeral on Naboo. Senator Zo Howler: This Anx Senator represented Gravlex Med and the Raioballo Sector after Senator Horox Ryyder retired. Senator Howler held many of the same political leanings that Ryyder did, and was felt a worthy sucessor by Horox Ryyder. He was usually accompanied by aide Fo Kuna.

In a comical turn of events, Threepio’s head was fastened to a battle droid chassis and his body was adorned with the head of a battle droid. Both halves of C-3PO then marched into the Geonosian arena propelled by the battle droid counterparts to confront the Jedi Knights who had rushed to Kenobi’s aid. During the conflict, Threepio’s head was knocked free from the battle droid frame and the battle droid controlling his body was destroyed.

Artoo took the helm with Anakin and succeeded in pulling off a hard crash landing from which the group was able to walk away. In the days that followed the second Battle of Coruscant, Artoo was allowed to overhear several intimate conversations between Anakin and Padmé and witnessed Anakin’s descent to the Dark Side. Horrified, Artoo was fully aware of the events that had transpired at the Jedi Temple when Anakin, now Darth Vader, led a legion of clone troopers on the temple grounds and slaughtered all who resided inside its walls. Artoo tried to convey this information to Threepio, but the protocol droid didn’t fully grasp what his companion was attempting to say and was distracted by Anakin and Padmé’s conversations. Artoo accompanied Anakin to the volcanic world of Mustafar but was ordered to stay behind and watch the ship. Although he did not witness what was unfolding, Artoo was completely aware that the man who was once his master was inside the complex slaughtering the Confederate council.

Artoo remained Luke Skywalker’s most trusted companion for decades to follow. He was an essential part of many con- 44 frontations during the early years of the New Republic. Among his exploits was the participation in adverting the invasion of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s forces into Republic territory five years after the Empire crumbled, as well as when the Emperor re- immerged a year later. Artoo was partly responsible for not only

In the seventh year following the destruction of the Empire at Endor, Artoo accompanied Luke on a journey to locate candi- dates for a new Jedi Order. Artoo remained a faithful assistant to Skywalker, but would frequently assist Lando Calrissian and New Republic Intelligence on several missions.

He was later found to have locked himself inside a foyer cloakroom by mistake. A little over a week later, when the fate of the Military Creation Act was to be decided by vote in the Senate, Padmè Amidala was the subject of assassination attempts. In the wake of the attacks, she was put under Jedi protection and sent off of Coruscant, leaving Representative Binks in charge. When it was later revealed that Padmè was captured, along with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, it was easy for Palpatine to manipulate the simple-minded Gungan into motioning to give the Chancellor emergency powers to bypass voting on the Military Creation Act and instead decide himself. Of course, Palpatine formed the Grand Army of the Republic, and sent it to Geonosis, where the Clone Wars began. Jar Jar spent the rest of the Clone Wars silent at Padmè’s command, and when she died three years later, was made Sena- tor. He remained a quiet member of the Senate, and eventually retired. Shortly after retirement, he married and had children. His son, Abso Bar Binks, saw the Galactic Empire for what it was, and joined the Rebellion against the Empire.

He had great ambition, but as the Separatists began to grow their movement throughout the galaxy, he turned down a ©lucasfilm LTD. ©lucasfilm chance to join the Quarren Isolation League, trusting in democ- racy and the Republic. A little over two months before the Battle of Genosis, Senator Tikkes was implicated in a slavery ring, and Tundra Dowmeia found himself thrust into the position of act- ing Senator. Much of the Q.I.L. left Mon Calamari as Tikkes fled Coruscant, and rendezvoused with the Confederacy. Senator Dowmeia pledged that the Mon Calamari government would do everything in its power to assist in his recapture. Senator Dowmeia was a devout loyalist, but also an ideal- ist. He believed in helping those who were most in need. So it was no shock to the media when, a month into office, Sena- tor Dowmeia spat criticism toward Commenor's First Minester when the man was upset Commenor was being denied regular shipments of exotic vegetables and breads to his planet. Tundra Dowmeia quickly poked at the politician's priorities, pointing out that the Arkanis Sector regularly went without food shipments for months, and that all would make sacrifices as a result of the Separatist crisis. Two weeks later Senator Dowmeia was present with his mys- terious aide, Cellheim Anujo, to watch Chancellor Palpatine get voted emergency powers, heralding the beginning of the Clone Wars.

He graduated from the Guard's Academy and was assigned as the replacement partner for Sagoro Autem, considered one of the best Guards- men currently serving. His former partner, Zalin Bey, had been promoted to Commander. Isaru was still fairly inexperienced when compared to his partner, and generally deferred to his judgment on investigative matters, though he was not afraid to question his motives and reasoning in private. Two years before the Clone Wars would devastate much of the galaxy, Isaru Omin and his partner were brought in to investigate the murder of Senator Jheramahd Greyshade of the Centrality. Isaru was honored to be assigned to the matter by Chancellor Palpatine personally, and was awed to meet Jedi Kenobi and Skywalker, who would be guarding Senator Simon Greyshade while Isaru and Sagoro investigated the murder. Isaru was eager to get started and make a good impression, but his partner had family matters to clear up first. The two went down to a garbage pit race to get Sagoro's children home safely before the Judiciary arrested them. Successful in that, Isaru went to download the droid memory banks of the late Senator's service yarua droids while Sagoro took his children home. Onaconda Farr, who had accusatory remarks for Yarua.

Many beings served the Republic Navy long before the Clone Wars as an attachment of the Judicial Department. When the Clone Wars began, however, there was a shortage of experienced officers that could command the newly-commissioned warships. Therefore, many commanders were given their own commands on vessels that they would normally serve as mere bridge crew members. Below are some of the beings who served the Navy of the Republic. Alexsandr Badure: Veteran of the Clone Wars’ Outer Rim Sieges. Also known as Trooper, he taught a young Han Solo his piloting skills in the Imperial Academy.

Jace Dallin and the rest of Tarkin's forces that successfully escaped fought a retreat from their landing zone to the caves, suffering heavy losses. Halfway to Mount Avos, Jedi Knights Plo Koon, Adi Gallia, Qui-Gon Jinn and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi landed nearby and supported the withdrawal to the

Safe in the caves, Dallin focused on taking an inven- tory of assets while Ranulph Tarkin began to fall apart, seeing his bid for power completely dashed. Plo Koon took the mantle of leadership quickly, using his mental abilities to sense what Stark's situation was to better plan their defense. The Republic forces fortified their positions and waited for the inevitable Stark Combine assault. Stark forces tried several times to enter the caves, and Jace fought on the front lines alongside the Jedi, repelling borders. Use of the high ground, the Jedi's blaster-deflecting lightsabers, and Plo Koon's ability to predict where the attacks would come from allowed Dallin and the rest to hold the caves with few casualties after several Stark pushes. Tarkin continued to drift into despair and anger, constantly waiting for the Jedi to give up and surrender. Realizing this, Plo Koon offered him a way back to Coruscant with Senator Valorum to plea for reinforcements, along with Adi Gallia, and the Judiciary pilot, but Tarkin refused, not wanting Plo Koon to usurp all the glory of the fight. Dallin pleaded with Plo Koon to stay in the caves to provide leadership, and Qui-Gon Jinn and Padawan Kenobi agreed to instead escort Valorum and his entourage to the spaceport to find a shuttle to steal. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan returned shortly, along with Jedi Master Tholme and Padawan Quinlan Vos. Upon hearing of Master Tyvokka's death during the mediation the rest of the Jedi escaped, Vos and Kenobi stormed off deeper into the caves.

While Mon Mothma herself made several attempts to bring ©lucasfilm LTD. art by jan duursema jan by art LTD. ©lucasfilm Dodonna into the Rebel fold, it took a direct attack by Imperial assassins to change his mind. It would have been far too late for a change of heart if not for Rebel General Roons Sewell, who foiled the assassination plot and, with Dodonna's help, escaped back to Chrellis two years before the Battle of Yavin. Dodonna and Sewell entered into an uneasy partnership that lasted for a year as the Rebel Alliance headquarters was moved from Chrellis to Briggia, Orion IV, Dantoonine, and finally Yavin IV. General Jan Dodonna was the second in command of the Rebel Alliance HQ on Yavin IV. Dodonna acted as an engineer as well as a leader, designing the A-Wing Starfighter and the Battle Analysis Computer. He engineered several daring raids that allowed the Alliance to stockpile X-Wing Starfighters, R2 Astromech Droids, and the Yavin Vassillika, which contained an ancient key that unlocked the ancient temple where the Rebel base was located. On one particularly dangerous raid, Sewell died distracting Imperials long enough for Dodonna to complete his mission, obtaining several proton torpedoes. Dodonna was put in charge of the Alliance HQ, and made a particularly stirring speech to the rebels on Yavin IV. Not long after Sewell's death, Princess Leia Organa returned jan dodonna to Yavin IV with Han Solo, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, C-3P0, and R2-D2, who contained technical readouts for the Death sounds of battle, and realized that Saesee Tiin had finally lost Star, which was on its way to destroy Yavin IV.

Anakin presented the completed droid to Obi-Wan Kenobi, as a specialized Astromech for his Jedi Starfighter, permanently mounted onto the fighter. The addition of the droid improved the effectiveness of the Aethersprites so much that Kuat Systems Engineering contacted Industrial Automaton and copied Anakin's design, making R4-P's a new standard unit for the elite fighter. R4-P17, meanwhile, served as Obi-Wan's co-pilot. Soon, R4-P17 and Obi-Wan had fallen into an easy routine. R4 handled all navigation, commu- nication, sensor and technical issues, and even some piloting on occasions when Obi-Wan needed his full concentration to use the Force. R4-P17 also found herself nearly as easy a target as Anakin Skywalker often did for Obi-Wan's biting sarcasm and sometimes negative, pessimistic outlook on the galaxy. Shortly before the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan was scouting the Albecus System for Separatist activity, and bumped into Jango lorth needa Fett's Slave I. The two fought to a draw before jumping into hyperspace to report back to their respective superiors. Shortly For all his skill, Needa was unable to maintain the pursuit on after the encounter, R4-P17 accompanied Obi-Wan on his trip to the notorious smuggler transport. Needa broke off the chase Kamino. On Kamino, R4-P17 relayed messages to the Coruscant when the Falcon entered a dense asteroid field and disappeared.

The Millennium Falcon finally reemerged and Needa Jango proved himself the superior pilot, and R4-P17 was forced continued the pursuit. However, the Imperial captain managed to implement a risky maneuver ordered by Obi-Wan Kenobi. to lose the ship once again and failed to relocate it.
