GALACTIC REPUBLIC
REPUBLICAN ARMY

The Republic Army was the collective military ground forces of the Galactic Republic that was formed in 25,000 BBY. The forces of the army included specialized troops such as rocket-jumpers and also a fair number of primitive combat droids of different models, though they were highly expensive and rarely used. Each army division was associated with particular places or beings. For example, a division raised on Coruscant might have adopted or have been given that name as part of its title, thereby becoming the “Coruscant Division”.

Republic soldiers were decently equipped and supported by several kinds of aerial vehicles. They bore both grenades and blasters. Some soldiers also carried melee weapons with them, though they were rarely used in combat as most enemy fighters also used blasters as their weapon of choice. Very rarely would a sword be made of the cortosis mineral that could defend against lightsabers, as there would very rarely be a rogue Jedi that a soldier would be required to fight. Armor was also worn and was noted for its modular nature.

One characteristic of the Republic military was its equipping of its personnel with some cybernetic headwear. Some of these were deliberately designed to provide mental protection against the powers of telekinetic opponents. Another trait was its used of specialty equipment such as the primitive stealth field packs, though they only worked for a few moments and were effectively useless against enemies, and also physical enhancement technology. These non-combat items saw considerable research and development as a result of the Republic’s use of them.
