THE GRAND ARMY OF THE HIGH REPUBLIC
The Shield of the Southern Systems

"Peace is not inherited; it is defended. In the ruins, at the borders,
wherever the line falters, we plant our banner and we hold." — Grand Marshal of Naboo​

O V E R V I E W

Formed in the wake of the Planeshift and the disbanding of emergency powers, the Grand Army of the High Republic is the primary ground army of the High Republic. It was created to restore stability, act as security, and rebuild civilisations in the wake of chaos. It was a force built not for domination, but for relief and resilience.

Stationed across key sectors, with the ability to mobilize rapidly into newly reconnected systems, the GAHR acts as both protector and liberator. Whether reclaiming overrun cities, safeguarding civilian evacuations, or standing against border incursions, its units are trained to act with precision, discipline, and a deep understanding of their obligation to the Republic's ideals.

The Defence Force, built from the core of the now veteran Royal Naboo Defence Force, bolstered by recruitment drives across Republic space, operates under the direction of the High Republic Security Council, with strict limitations to ensure accountability, ethical engagement, and regional oversight. It is designed to be visible, dependable, and welcome; a uniformed symbol of safety rather than military excess.

"From the great plains of Naboo to the shattered battlefields of the outer territories, the Grand Army of the High Republic stands ready. It does not conquer. It does not threaten. It defends, with resolve forged from the lessons of history; and with the eyes of the Republic always upon it."

The elite force known as the Republic Commandos are an infantry unit with a grand and distinguished unit within the Grand Army of the High Republic. Established from the legacy set by the Elite Royal Commandos of Naboo, the Republic commandos were built on the need for a specialized force capable of addressing the galaxy's more formidable threats. It is formed from a rigorous selection process that takes its tithe from anyone who volunteers from within the already formidable GAHR.

Renown for their versatility and combat effectiveness, they engage in frontline battles, execute high-risk missions, and provide critical protective details using the techniques and strategy taught at the Royal Military Citadel on Naboo. Certain Jedi Order Enclaves, especially ones such as the Vanguard have been known to support the Commandos in operations, leading to many joint training exercises and more then a few Battle Focused trained Jedi finding a near constant home among the Commandos.

An unwavering dedication to their duty and an impressive reputation among peers and citizenry alike, the Commandos embodies the High Republic's commitment to safeguarding its values, standing ready to confront any challenge with unmatched courage and skill.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE​

The backbone of the Grand Army, these are regional field armies assigned to Republic sectors. Each Sector Force is built around a core command staff and multiple combat battalions, often supported by logistics, medics, engineers, and relief personnel. Though designed for defense, they are mobile enough to conduct forward operations and planetary recovery campaigns.​

Permanent GAHR detachments stationed on key Republic worlds. These troops serve in a peacekeeping and response capacity, assisting local authorities, securing vital infrastructure, and preparing defense plans for potential planetary threats. Each garrison includes infantry, artillery support, and atmospheric deployment units.​

Elite, mobile regiments equipped for planetary insertions, disaster zones, and high-risk conflict regions. Often transported via orbital dropships, these forces are trained for quick ground occupation, evacuation support, and defensive fortification in unprepared zones.
​

Light, flexible units embedded with diplomatic envoys or Jedi missions, charged with advancing into uncharted or reconnected territories. Their purpose is to make first contact, assess threat levels, provide humanitarian aid, and establish staging points for wider GAHR operations. Often partnered with the Jedi Underground Network.​

COMMAND RANKS ​

The supreme commander of the GAHR, responsible for strategic oversight across all theatres. Holds a lifetime commission and a seat on the Senate Security Council. Though often ceremonial, the Grand Marshal is fully empowered to direct war-time operations or emergency deployments.​

The highest operational rank in the field army. Force Marshals command full Sector Forces and oversee all subordinate brigades, divisions, and support corps. They are responsible for campaign strategy, planetary defense coordination, and inter-branch cooperation.​

Senior field officers assigned to specific battlefronts, planetary zones, or multi-brigade operations. Generals work directly under Force Marshals and often command full planetary garrisons or crisis theatres.​

A mid-level officer in charge of a brigade — often 2,000–5,000 troops — including infantry, vehicle support, and specialist detachments. Brigadiers are the most forward-facing command rank and often lead relief and combat missions on the ground​

Tasked with commanding a battalion, overseeing several companies and their officers. Colonels are the tactical backbone of the GAHR, positioned between senior command and front-line execution.

Majors serve as executive officers within battalions or lead small strike teams, recon forces, or logistical hubs. Captains, meanwhile, are often frontline commanders of infantry companies, responsible for direct engagement and soldier coordination.
​

Junior officers and non-commissioned leaders, respectively. Lieutenants may lead platoons or specialist squads, while Sergeants maintain discipline, morale, and tactical cohesion at the squad level. In the GAHR, Sergeants are often seen as the heart of the line.​

Entrance level for the GAHR, usually assigned to a sergeant or Lieutenant before being taken to training facilities with the Republic Systems to be processed and trained for active duty.​
