"We, the Beings of the galaxy, in order to form a free union of planets, establish justice, provide for common peace and prosperity, and to secure liberty for all being, do ordain and establish this New Republic. Let the stars sing! Let the planets shout! Let the Republic begin!"
―Excerpt from the Declaration of a New Republic[1]

The Declaration of a New Republic was a document issued by Mon Mothma that formally established the New Republic and completed the Alliance to Restore the Republic transformation into a government one month after the Battle of Endor. It spelled out to the galactic public at large the government system and ideals of freedom, democracy, and justice that the New Republic hoped to return to the galaxy.

Signatories[]

The first four of these signers became the Inner Council of the New Republic Provisional Council.

Behind the scenes[]

The excerpt above is similar to the preamble to the United States Constitution, much as the Declaration of Rebellion is similar to the United States Declaration of Independence.

All Human signatures, as well as the initials of the Sullustan Sian Tevv, are written in English (or, in-universe, using the High Galactic alphabet.)
