A
Brief History of the JEDI REPUBLIC; PART V
In utter chaos from the sudden attacks by
the Trade Federation, the Republic was once
again on the verge of collapse. In desperation,
the Republic Senate handed Emergency Powers to
one man, Palpatine, a senator from the small
world of Naboo.
Promising to hand down the powers after the
conflict, Palpatine did indeed make great
progress in the war. Without the restraints of
the democratic process, he built up a massive
clone army, and won many battles against the
Trade Federation's droid armies.
This struggle would come to be known as the
Clone Wars.
Many battles were fought during the Clone Wars,
and on many a battlefield. The Trade Federation
gained allies and formed the Confederacy of
Independant Systems. This confederation included
such predominate organizations as the Techno
Union, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, Corporate
Alliance, and the Commerce Guild.
The
Jedi Council was involved in the Clone Wars as
well, and many Jedi died in its battles. The
Clone Wars would live on in infamy for
generations past its end...
