Confederacy of Independent SystemsThe Confederacy of Independent Systems was the secessionist government of star systems that broke away from the Galactic Republic, sparking the Clone Wars. Led publicly by Count Dooku and backed by corporate powers, it was secretly controlled by Darth Sidious.
First OrderThe First Order was a fascist military junta that rose from the remnants of the Galactic Empire in the Unknown Regions. Secretly a puppet of the resurrected Darth Sidious, it conquered much of the galaxy before its collapse in 35 ABY.
Galactic EmpireThe Galactic Empire was the fascist regime that replaced the Galactic Republic when Sheev Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, proclaimed himself Emperor. It ruled the galaxy through fear, military power, and the hunt for the Jedi until its defeat at Endor and final collapse at Jakku.
Galactic RepublicThe Galactic Republic was the democratic government that ruled much of the galaxy for over a thousand generations from its capital on Coruscant, served by the Jedi Order. After the Clone Wars it was reorganized by Palpatine into the Galactic Empire.
Jedi OrderThe Jedi Order was a monastic, nontheistic religious order devoted to the light side of the Force, serving for over a thousand generations as the guardians of peace and justice in the Galactic Republic. Nearly annihilated by Order 66, the Order endured through scattered survivors and was rebuilt, however briefly, by Luke Skywalker.
New RepublicThe New Republic was the democratic government founded by the victorious Rebel Alliance after the Battle of Endor, restoring the galaxy's republican rule. Its complacency toward the First Order ended with the destruction of its capital at the Hosnian Cataclysm.
Rebel AllianceThe Alliance to Restore the Republic was the resistance movement that opposed the tyranny of the Galactic Empire. Built from scattered rebel cells by Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Saw Gerrera, it stole the Death Star plans, won victories at Yavin and Endor, and ultimately became the New Republic.
ResistanceThe Resistance was the military movement founded by Leia Organa to oppose the First Order when the New Republic refused to act. Modeled on the Rebel Alliance, it survived the war's darkest days and triumphed at the Battle of Exegol.
SithThe Sith were an ancient religious order of Force-wielders devoted to the dark side, driven by hate, anger, and the pursuit of power. Born from a schism in the Jedi Order, they warred with their rivals for millennia, reached the height of their power under Darth Sidious, and were finally destroyed at the hands of Anakin Skywalker and Rey.
