After centuries of relative peace and prosperity, recent
galactic history has been marked by widespread and
destructive conflicts. The Galactic Republic had stood for
a millennium and yet, in a little over 50 years, three major
wars consumed much of the galaxy. In their wake they left
toppled regimes and countless devastated worlds. This
volume, compiled by some of the finest historians of our
time, seeks to explain the nature of these conflicts to
present and future generations of the galaxy.
