First Order-Republic War

The First Order-Republic war was a galactic war fought between the Galactic Republic and the First Order for galactic dominance. The war was considered devastating to both factions, but treated as a nuisance by everyone who lived outside their influence. Due to the actions of the Sith Order, who prevented several potential victories for the First Order, few people in the outer galaxy saw the effect of the war.

Both the Republic and First Order made tenuous alliances with the Sith Order and Hutt Cartels respectively, though the former was wrought with infighting over percieved distrust that eventually splintered the cruicial Resistance Forces in two. However, this splintering didn't result in losing the war due to the Dark Lady of the Sith refusing to allow the Republic forces to distract from the real enemy. As a result, the fracture was brief and ultimately carried little weight until the waning hours of the war.
