The Galactic Republic is the second-largest of the organized factions. The Warsies are also more militarily inclined, organizing along troop battalions (read: stormtroopers retconned into “Alliance Clone Troopers” to maintain a friendlier face) and engaging in exercise maneuvers to keep their edges sharp.
Unlike the nearly-self-sufficient Feds, the Warsies are primarily a military faction. Many of its members have “normal” lives, even part-time careers in other places or pursuits, but they wear their cog wheels (the nickname of the gear-like design of the Republic logo) with pride, and identify themselves as per their rank and posting in the Warsie military.
Not quite a militia, not quite a standing army, people who interact over time with Warsie folk get the feeling that they’re waiting for something. This feeling is correct. In the event of an extrasolar incursion, the Warsies have several plans and impressively large caches of material for prosecution of military action.
As the Boskonian problem wore on and worsened, more and more Warsie ships were put into action against this threat, and more Warsie factioners could be found in crew slots on non-Warsie fighting ships. While publicity and interest primarily focused on the big names and flashy tactics of the SMOFs, the Warsies were the unsung backbone of the Boskone War.
While the Warsies don’t keep to themselves nearly as much as the Feds, they do maintain multiple ships that are Warsie crewed and commanded at all times.
The “short-lived conflict” mentioned in the entry on the Federation is still a bone of contention with the Warsies, though with the signing of the Treaty of Algeron, this has died down to the level of “friendly rivalry.” This change in attitude has been supported by the increased military activity by both factions against a common enemy, which Warsies call the Sith.
The Warsies are the current holder of the “Stirrup Cup,” a small-craft piloting trophy awarded to the winning team of the All-Hallows-Eve Asteroid Race (an event occurring on October 31st of each year to commemorate and enforce the demilitarization of the Trekkie-Warsie conflict).
Contents
History
(start at 2008, start new paragraphs at the start and end of the Boskone War so that the material for Season 0, Season 1, and Season 2 are separated)
Politics
(start with the internal politics - form of government, existing groups/blocs/parties, etc.)
INSERT-NAME-HERE
(the armed forces - who are they, how powerful are they, what do they do when they're not fighting a war, where are they based, what do they use, what citations do they award - most of this should be in its own article, with a capsule-and-link on the main page)

Known Warsie Fighter Squadrons
Dedicated Republic squadrons defend major Republic installations.
Based on Mimas
- Red Squadron
- The elite squadron. Only flies X-Wings.
- Blue Squadron
Based in New Yavin
- Green Squadron
- Led by ace pilot Cal Calrissian, Green Squadron defends both New Yavin and the Warsies' base on Luna.
Based in Mos Eisley
- Rogue Squadron
- The Galactic Republic's main Martian defence force. Rogue Squadron was one of the most decorated units during the Boskone War, responsible for saving hundreds of people from the Catgirling Machines.
- Rouge Squadron
- Officially the 801st Training Squadron, "Rouge Squadron" was a typo in official correspondence which some Humorists and Bubblegum Crisis fans in the faction insisted on making it a real squadron. While they're primarily an aerobatics team, Rouge Squadron is trained for combat.
Based at the Jedi Academy
- Paisley Squadron
- A training squadron, lead by an ever-changing "honor guard" of pilots recovering from major wounds. (Actual defence of the Jedi Academy is provided by Green Squadron.)
Awards
The Galactic Republic awards many citations for bravery, but only these two have been awarded to people outside of the faction.
- Order of Yavin
- The Order of Yavin is awarded for meritorious service against vastly superior odds.
- Kalidor Crescent
- The Kalidor Crescent is awarded for meritorious piloting above and beyond the call of duty. Perhaps the best-known recipient of this award is Jedi Knight Lou Chadwick, who was awarded the Kalidor Crescent during the Boskone War for repeatedly interposing his own X-Wing between a Boskonian battlewagon and a Galactic Republic medevac ship until the medical ship could escape.
Warsies who receive either Order of Yavin or the Kalidor Crescent are entitled to call themselves "Jedi" and are given their choice of assignments with the award.
Relations with other factions
(here's where the external politics goes)
Future plans
(plans for Season 3/Infinities)
Administrative divisions
(what it says on the tin - describe each in a separate subsection)
Economy
(internal and external - give an overview of the faction-wide economy, then highlight each major economic engine in a separate subsection)
Demographics
(start with population and largest settlement)
The oldest Warsie settlement is the New Yavin station in Earth-Luna L5 orbit. One of the oldest stations of any sort in Fenspace (being of the same vintage as Starbase 1 and Stellvia), New Yavin is declining in importance but is still a major point-of-presence for the faction in Cislunar Space.
The largest Republic colony is also the one farthest from Earth - Coruscant, the faction's capital, is located on Mimas.
The other two major Warsie settlements have specialized purposes. Mos Eisley on Mars is the faction's major industrial center, while the Jedi Academy in the Oceanus Procellarum on Luna is their major educational facility.
Ethnic groups
(list the prominent and notable groups - Primarily anglophone white nerds to begin with, because that's the nature of early Fandom, but Fenspace starts to change in Season 2)
Biomods
(list the prominent and notable groups - roughly 1.3% of the overall Fenspace population are biomodded as of the end of Season 2)
Subgroups
(list and quickly describe any notable groups within the faction (e.g. Trekkie:Klingon, Fiver:Technomage, Senshi:Action-Girl))
Language
(list them - official languages if they exist, then common-use languages)
Culture
(what do they do? why do they do it? keep in mind the "stereotype" line in the faction box, but don't be straitjacketed by it)
Psychology and stereotypes
(develop that "stereotype" line in the faction box)
Religion
(if there's an official religion, give it a quick description; otherwise, discuss what religions if any are practiced by noticeable groups in the faction)
Law Enforcement
(who enforces the law? how well or poorly do they coordinate with the Patrol?)
Notable Faction Members
(a quick "term and definition" style list, with links to the character pages)
Based in Coruscant
- General Dana Maeter
- Commander of the Republic Army. Partial Cyborg (The result of an unfortunate accident during an OGJ operation against a Boskonian production base), as she had a previously undetected biomod that prevented the usual lifesaving methods being used. Quiet, businesslike, chooses her words carefully, a damn fine organizer of troops from army to squad scales, but also very solitary. Because of her looks and public personality, occasionally called "Sith Lord Fate Testarossa" by some Generalist Fen (but never to her face).
Based in New Yavin
- "General Solo"
- Station Commander
- Cal Calrissian
- Squadron Leader, Green Squadron. Rank Captain, Callsign "Green One"
Based in Mos Eisley
- "General Murleen"
- Chief Administrator
Rumors
(what other groups say about the faction)
