<p>In the Star Wars universe, the earliest history of the galaxy before the Republic is not extensively explored. However, it is believed that various species, including humans, evolved in the Core Worlds and eventually became dominant throughout the galaxy. According to the hypothesis, humans are thought to have originated from Coruscant, a central planet in the Star Wars galaxy. From there, they settled in other Core Worlds, such as Alderaan, and eventually expanded their presence to colonize other planets across the galaxy.<sup id="cite_ref-Brake_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Brake-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to Smith (1996), the origin of hyperdrive technology in the Star Wars galaxy is uncertain. It is speculated that hyperdrive might have been invented by the humans of the Core Worlds, or it could have been introduced to them by alien traders from the Unknown Regions. Regardless of its origin, there is a consensus that hyperspace travel predated the Republic and played a crucial role in enabling the formation of a "galactic civilization." It allowed for interstellar travel and facilitated the establishment of central governments spanning multiple planetary systems, ultimately leading to the rise of the Galactic Republic.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHortonHidalgoZehr202027_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHortonHidalgoZehr202027-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Old_Republic">Old Republic</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Galactic_Republic&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Old Republic" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>According to the large body of films and other fiction that belong to the <i>Star Wars</i> franchise, the Old Republic was formed 25,000 years before the events of <i><a href="/wiki/Star_Wars_(film)" title="Star Wars (film)">Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope</a></i> (1977)<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-dk_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dk-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> when the first "Galactic Constitution" was signed on Coruscant,<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="The Galactic Constitution from around 25,000 BBY may have been decanonised; it doesn't show up in post-2014 literature.

The Senate gives the Chancellor emergency powers in times of crisis and removes him from office when necessary. The assembly is in turn divided into individual committees, each specializing in specific fields of government administration, and which were responsible for creating legislation to be reviewed by the full assembly. The Senate has some form of judicial power as well, although the Republic has a judicial branch, in which the Supreme Court was the main body.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The <a href="/wiki/Jedi" title="Jedi">Jedi Order</a>, although technically not officially part of the Republic, are considered the defenders of the general Republic.
