[Echoes through the Force of Future's Past]
"For the Republic!"
- Battle cry of multiple factions, circa the Fall of the Galactic Republic
"The Galactic Republic brought a thousand years of peace and prosperity, a Golden Age of Galactic Civilization. Of Freedom, Democracy, and Stability. I say that is worth fighting for! Come, join us in this noble crusade against oppression and tyranny!"
- Vice-Chancellor Mon Mothma, (Corellian faction) Galactic Republic Remnant, circa beginning of the so-called Democratic Revolts in the Core Regions
"Kriff Corellia! Kriff Alsakan! And Kriff Coruscant! For Fedalle and Freedom! Where are they as our industry starves and good decent Coreworlders like us go without work because of Rim savages in bukky-bukky or stupidly named place! Without dignity! I say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Today Fedalle retakes its ancestral democratic mandate and has restored order in those systems under our historic protection! For the True Republic, for Supreme Chancellor Palpatine!"
- Senator Hrekin Thorm, from balcony of the Fedalle Senate House shortly after the overthrow of the military governor and local garrison.
"The Core IS the Republic, and Humanity is the Core! We are the Republic and we have been betrayed! I say death to traitors and the aliens….death to the alien traitors! Death! Death! Death!"
- variation of multiple holo-recorded shouts/orders recorded given by the Democratic Front during the suppression of the Democratic Revolt on Coruscant by the Grand Army of the Republic.
"Why I'm a loyal servant of the Republic! Which one you ask? Such a silly question! Why The Republic, my one, that one I'm loyal too at this exact moment in time!"
- Independent 'Admiral' and 'Tax Collection Specialist' Hondo Ohnaka, circa the end of Operation Dooku's Justice
"The barbarian hordes aren't storming the borders yet…but they are gathering in the darkness of the Unknown Regions. This was but a very bloody skirmish, likely the first of many, and, in time, they'll be back in strength"
- Moff Daron Stormcrow, Eriadu Authority Republic, circa the First Grysk Incursion
"The works of generations will not be undone by traitors, separatists, and Jedi! This great error will be corrected! The day of victory will come! The day of revenge! And for this great Republic of ours, the Day of the Sith!"
- Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, Alliance to Restore the Republic, circa the Liberation of Zeltros
"A thousand years of peace…and in a barely decade the galaxy I born was into, grew up in, loved, was gone, lost so badly that the words Democracy and the Republic, even now, leave a bad taste in peoples mouths"
- (former) Senator Padmé Skywalker neé Amidalla, upon the opening of the Roos Tarpals Imperial Military Academy, Naboo.
"I'm not saying she didn't look good…but we are the true guardians of the Republic and have an image to maintain. So, no, there will be none of our Knights 'draping' themselves over starfighters in such a state for the holo-vids here. This is the civilized Core, not the savage Outer Rim"
- Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi, Corellian Jedi Order to the Jedi Council, on holo-vid recruitment posters/displays by Jedi Knight Aayla Secura for the Imperial Fleet (and, indirectly Eriadu-based Jedi Order)
"Mandalore…Mandalore became our home. Back then it was dangerous, an ever shifting vipers nest filled with criminals, Death Watch, New Mandalorians, self-proclaimed Sith, Nightsisters, renegade clones and so many others…and we all fought for her. To the death. We had nowhere else to go. And we knew what the Confederacy and those warlords that pretended to be the Republic would do to us if we didn't fight and win"
- Knight (of Mandalore) Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy, Clan Skirata, Mandalorian Dominion, for the holo-vid documentary, The Fall of the Jedi Order
"With Great Power comes a lot of nagging apparently. Again"
- Darth Imperious, Dark Council of the New Sith Commonwealth, circa the Treaty of Mon Calamari
"Human supremists, rebels, traitors, bioterrorists, madmen, and even madder fallen Jedi. The so-called New Republic is Pius Dea reborn, except, somehow, worse"
- Imperial Senator Cham Syndulla, Clan Syndulla, on the Proclamation of Restoration of Democracy by the New Republic, circa Declaration of War by the United Federal Empire upon the New Republic
"Never again will we bow before the tyranny of the Galactic Republic, nor to any of its self-proclaimed successor states! Today we are free! Today we are victorious! Long live the Confederacy of Independent Systems"
- Head of Confederate Council Mina Bonteri, broadcast to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, circa end of Operation of Dooku's Justice and signing of the Treaty of Bothawui
"I feel our voice is not being treated with sufficient respect. This was a mistake. We have our Battleships. We have Droids. And we will have the respect we are owed"
- Trade Vizier Marath Vooro upon elevation to the Council of the Trade Federation, circa start of Confederate Civil War
"Droid armies brought about our freedom. They will not be allowed take it away!"
- Shadowfeed announcement, circa Confederate Civil War
"These orders are illogical. These orders are outside the registered chain of command. These orders are not recognised as valid. Current organics claiming to represent the Conferency of Independent Systems are not recognised as valid. To protect the freedom of the citizens of this assigned sector this unit has assumed the needed powers till a replacement is found for Count Dooku as Head of State"
- General Kalani, Super-tactical Droid, upon assuming command of the Inner Rim Confederacy of Independent Systems, Fondor, circa Confederate Civil War
"We recognise the freedom and independence of the droid run confederacy….why? Because it is very strategically convenient for us! Especially when you pretend it isn't a droid rebellion!"
- Moff Maarisa Zsinj on the Treaty Yag'Dhul with Droid Armies based Fondor under orders of the Senate, circa Imperial Restructuring of the Eriadu Authority Republic
"Slave prices are rapidly increasing. Yes, there are more visible acts of enslavement…but the numbers do not lie. The Fall of the Republic has meant the usual bribes are worthless, and the old, safe, routes for transport are no longer safe. The loss of the Republic is, frankly, a disaster for the slave trade. Restructuring must be our focus, along with security in these dark times…"
- Recorded notes from Hutt Grand Council Meeting, unknown speaker, circa end of the Fall of the Galactic Republic Clone Wars Phase, beginning of the Succession Wars Phase.
"Freedom with Order, Liberty with Security, and the Ideals of the Republic without the Madness and Corruption. That is the New Order we will bring to the galaxy"
- Emperor Wilhuff Tarkin to the Imperial Senate, Eriadu, circa the Imperial Restructuring, upon his elevation and call for vote on electing a Chancellor
"Somehow…we're a better force for freedom and democracy in the galaxy than those monsters wearing the skin of the Republic. Force Help us all"
- Jedi Master Shaak Ti, Dark Council, New Sith Commonwealth, circa the Fall of Duro
"The best revenge is having them forced to watch me succeed, while they fail, and their precious Order continues tearing itself apart even after all these years"
- Imperial Senator Asajj Ventress, Dark Lady of Rattatak, Darth of the New Sith Order, circa her elevation to the Imperial Force Users Oversight Committee
"Mistakes were made. Now it's time to put them down with a firm hand"
- Supreme Chancellor Justus Fird, Alsakan, circa the Democratic Revolts in The Core
"They are here!"
- Last transmission from Helska IV
"The Chosen One…well, he did destroy the Sith as they were, didn't he? That's the danger of Prophesy I've been told by a colleague, that she's a treacherous whore. Both the Jedi Order and Sith Order of before the Wars are broken, probably beyond repair, and the Force gets its beloved….Balance"
- Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, circa the Conclave on Force Sects, Base Camp Tython, Dagobah
"Not one step back! Hold the Line! For the Empire!"
- Commodore Hera Syndulla, Imperial Star Destroyer Valiant, circa the Second Battle of Fondor
"The Force does love its cruel jokes, and even when you break the narrative it tries to repeat, just now within a mirror darkly. It is why you cannot trust it to stay true, for it serves itself and not you. Remember that when they say, The Force be with you."
- Daron Stormcrow, Meditations on the Force
