The dominant ruling government in the Galaxy, and the central authority politically and sociologically, the Galactic Alliance was founded out of the remains of the New Republic in the height of the Yuuzhan Vong War.
The Galactic Alliance are the primary source of funds and support for the Jedi Order and its activities. To this end, the Galactic Alliance have granted Knights of the Order police rights throughout Galactic Alliance Space, and have formed the Galactic Alliance Strategic Peacekeeping Taskforce, which is often assigned to support Jedi activities and is head-quartered on Yavin Station in orbit above the Jedi Praxeum of Yavin IV.
The rank structure of the Galactic Alliance Military forces, and therefore the Strategic Peacekeeping Taskforce, is divided into four branches: The Navy, The Army, Starfighter Command, and Marines.
