Palpatine Dead, Remaining Jedi Called in Front of Senate
In a hearing lasting several days of almost unbelievable testimony from Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Grand Master Yoda the Senate and public were left in an uproar after hearing a complete recounting of both the origin of and the conclusion of the Clone Wars, which cost the galaxy untold trillons of credits and billions of lives.
A near unanimous vote was cast shortly there after stripping the Jedi Order of their official powers for what was termed a "Frightening lapse of security and common sense" by one senator.
The Jedi Temple will be retained as a historical site but the Jedi order will have no official function in society going forward. One senator said it was time for average people to seize control of their own lives.
Most Senators Recalled by Governments
Shortly after these revelations most governments recalled their senators and sent new representation. These new senators arrived with explicit instructions to curtail the power of the central government and take back many powers from the Republic.
To repay its debts to its member worlds the Republic will be transferring ownership of its vast military assets to various sector governments who will be responsible for their own defense to ensure that power can never again be concentrated in the manner it was under the short lived Emperor.
The Republic's new role prevents it from collecting taxes outside of Coruscant and reduces its primary function to providing a common diplomatic ground for the smaller governments and providing a common trading market for all powers.
It is unknown what new order will emerge with this virtual collapse of the Republic but many systems are rumored to be looking to settle old scores already, with the Republic largely reduced to impotence.
