Legend

the space-going branch of the New Republic armed forces, the Navy oversaw all operations the involved the Republic fleet. Like the Alliance before it, the New Republic Navy initially consisted of ships that were donated, on loan, or stolen. This meant that many ships were outdatedm and there were several instances where designs were represented by a single ship. This made for tremendous logistical problems for maintenance and repair. Thus, one of the first considerations of the New Republic was outfitting its Navy with new classes of starships. Among the first of the new fleet were the Sacheen- and Hajen-class ships. Following the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Palpatine's cloned reincarnations, the New Republic began to decommission much of the Navy, feeling that the need for their firepower was past. This led, in part, to many star systems beginning to consider secession from the New Republic, in order to more fully protect their assets. The Corellian Sector was one of these systems, and Thrackan Sal-Solo took advantage of the New Republic's reduced firepower to actually seceed from the Republic. The also possessed the sophistication to determine galactic stellar coordinates to 3 additional decimal places over and above the necessary precision for most navicomputers.
