Following the dissolution of Exar Kun's Sith Empire, tension remains high within the Republic. Many look with distrust on the Senate due to their seizing of extreme wartime powers, in several cases enacting martial law on planets which were deemed “at risk” of rebelling and joining the enemy to avoid the fates of those who fought most bravely: glassing, chemical bombardment, and slavery.

Even after the war has ended, many senators have yet to surrender their special emergency privileges, overstepping them to the point of abuse on their respective worlds. While this has helped reduce crime in some cases, it also presents the unsettling prospect that the Republic might soon find itself transformed into a hegemony of largely independent and unaccountable “representatives” who would in practice hold totalitarian and dictatorial powers.

Some political elements, mostly parties gathered around the worlds most shaken by the war, are demanding sour reparations to be paid by those worlds who displayed even the slightest hint of collaboration with the Sith. While their demands are being deflected by - among others - the architects of the Republic integration and control over the Empress Teta system, the demand for punishment grows along with the financial deficit that rides the tide of the restoration efforts.

A faction in the senate, however, are in turn blaming the Jedi for the Great Sith War as a whole. Both Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma began their careers as Jedi, and many of their followers were defectors from the Order. Seeing the damage that Jedi were capable of inflicting should they fall to the Dark Side, many in the Republic – and even within the Order itself – have begun to question what measures, if any, should be taken to limit the numbers and influence of the Jedi. If not blamed for the catastrophes that have befallen the Republic, they are criticized for being absent in the restoration efforts at large, given their drastically reduced numbers and their mission to decimate the last of the Sith remnants.

Even as its people try to pull themselves back to their feet following the Great Sith War, mutual distrust begins to fester between the Republic and its erstwhile guardians, a harbinger of greater conflicts looming on the horizon...
