====== Fallen Republic ======

The Fallen Republic (not called this at the time before its fall) is said to have been a galactic government in power before the [[Times of Chaos]]. Its exact goals and purposes as well as its laws and ways are hotly debated amongst scholars, as not only was much of it destroyed, but the topic became so politically charged that the 'truth' is no longer something that can easily be agreed upon, especially as a change in known history might mean a challenge to the legitimacy of various powers. Whatever its nature, the Fallen Republics destruction had an impact on the [[Times of Chaos]].

Note that the Fallen Republic did not span the entire galaxy. In fact, in the time before the Times of Chaos there were many similar superpowers. The Fallen Republic is merely the best known in the [[Union]] section of the galaxy, as it overlapped in territory with parts of the [[Union]] and the [[Core Hegemony]].
