THE WAR IS OVER

The last Imperial hold outs have been smashed in a critical battle on the planet of Jakku. The combined alliance fleet was able to break apart Imperial resistance, while our brave men and women on the ground drove back any and all counter attacks. Truly, this is a turning point in galactic history.

With the Imperial military finally broken, peace can return to the galaxy. The time of the empire is over, now is the time of the new republic.

Our proud and noble chancellor
The senate has been re-established on Hosnian Prime, a clear sign of the New Republics commitment to move galactic power away from the core worlds and the old Imperial capital of Coruscant.
Even now, we look towards securing a long term peace with the last imperial systems. Strict treaties are in place to ensure that they can never again build up a military force that could threaten galactic stability.
The only thing that could possibly endanger us now is if they'd hidden away a third Death Star, but that'd be mad.
