Great Peace of the Republic
this was one of many phrases used to describe the period of galactic history between the Battle of Ruusan and the Clone Wars, in which the Old Republic believed it existed without the threat of war. While many historians acknowledge the fact that no major conflicts were fought during this 1,000-year period, they later discovered that all manner of threats and opposition were slowly building in the background, not the least of which was the Separatist threat of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
