Diplomacy
The New Jedi Order
The Republic and Jedi Order stand close allies after the formation of the Republic, initially known as the Federation, united in their goal to secure freedom and rights of all sentient beings. The relationship used to be more fragile due to what happened to the Galactic Alliance, but after the Jedi proved themselves during the days of the Resistance and through the formation of the Federation and later the Republic, the relationship stabilized. This initial alliance of convenience only became stronger after the temporary leader of the early Federation Master Fai, stepped down as the Chancellor and the newly formed Senate was allowed to chose a successor.
The Mandalorian Conglomerate
The Mandalorians have a rough and uncomfortable history with most of the galaxy and few factions have not been its enemy at some point or another, however due to their efforts in the war against the Empire and the role they played in giving the Resistance a chance to fight back, the Republic takes a neutral stand towards the Mandalorians and willing to open formal diplomatic relations. However with the now over decade long conflict with the Empire still holding firm unto the Core Worlds, little attention have been afforded the Mandalorians in recent years, especially with signs of military activity once again emanating from the Empire and their Sith allies.
The New Galactic Empire
Hopes of peace are long gone and are only likely to surface should it become a necessity for both factions to accept one, and dire such circumstances would be. Having been locked a Cold War for over ten years and with recent conflicts reigniting the fumes of war, the Republic fights ever on in their war against injustice. So far the Republic forces have managed to hold their ground but the Empire presses on. Luckily for the Republic, many years of conflict and the rise of fall of many governments have weeded out those who would seek to divide the Senate or even propose surrender. In the war against the Second Galactic Empire, the Senate stands united.
The Sith Order
Some would say that there is neither a Light, nor a Dark side to the force and perhaps that is true, however the Jedi Order and the Sith have never found a compromise between each other. The Sith seek power, in all forms, and will do whatever it takes to gain it, as such the Jedi opposes them. While the Sith order and the Empire only has a loose alliance, the Jedi and Republic stands together. Thus the Republic joins the Jedi order in their eternal conflict against the Sith, not only for the sake of the alliance, but also because the Sith are recognized as a massive threat that would seek to destroy the Republic, whether they were allies with the Republic or not.
The Hutt Empire
The neutral relationship between the Republic and the Hutts are one of convenience. The Republic does not condone the actions of the Hutts or their way of living, nor how they rule. By all rights the Hutts should be enemies, however, the Republic does not have the strength to fight them, nor can the Republic afford to alienate them. Should the Republic wish to expand in the north it would be much safer if they were not at war with the Hutts, not to mention that they hold key hyperspace routes between the Republic sectors and that of Mon Calamari, an important ally of the Republic. The Senate remains highly unwilling to even discuss the subject.
The Chiss Ascendancy
Being the isolationists they are, there have been very little contact from them ever since they were given back their freedom. Intelligence suggest that they are building up a military and heavily fortifying themselves, preparing to bring destruction on whoever might try and take away their freedom again. But as a result and even after several attempts at setting up official diplomatic meeting, the Republic finds itself blind as to the intentions of the Chiss and has the unable discover anymore about it. In more recent times however, the Republic and the Chiss share a defensive agreement which states if one is attacked the other will join the war.
Dammit.
You make me want to make my own article like this for the Empire.
xD.
Plus, the Federation and Jedi Order don't really know the Sith Order still exists. Most in the Galaxy believed they were wiped out long ago, though I understand why you are putting this here (less work later).
Even most in the Empire don't realize the Sith still exist. Plus with all that is going on, most people would quickly forget about them.
P.S.: Yay! Fai! xD.
Except me. xD
Actually, I believe you arrived after the Sith were exiled, thus even you would not realize they still exist.
Some may suspect, but due to everything that is happening most would disregard their suspicions and focus on the current threats.
Well, I wanted something more than just a list of fleets and defenses for OOC purposes. :P
I doubt the Jedi Order would presume the Sith Order destroyed or "Out of the game" after only 10 years. A 100 years? Maybe. 500 Years definitely. But not 10-20 years if we have to generous.
While I could imagine the Federation putting the Sith order on a list of past things, not the Jedi. Not yet.
I believe I mentioned the Jedi Council knows, or at least suspects, the Sith Order is still hiding somewhere, but the Federation are more inclined to not believe.
But feel free to stay away for 500 years xD
I would love to, I honestly would.
But that would be sooooooooooooo boring xD.
It's only like 15 years in real life. You can do it bro!
HH could you maybe change Battlegroup to something else? It could be confusing.
"The Mandalorian Battlegroup defeats the outnumbered Federation Battlegroup."
