| - Until approximately six months after the creation of the New Republic from the divided factions of the Rebel Alliance, Corellia had remained under Imperial rule. Under their order restrictions were placed on sales from the Corellian Engineering Corporation to only customers approved by the ruling Imperial commander (not including the deals made in secret with the Alliance/Republic), and general freedom of the populace was limited. Upon hearing word of a massive New Republic fleet buildup in the Mon Calamari system under the command of Marshal of the Navies Coret Trobane, the Imperial garrison began laying down a vast network of mines - restricting trade access - and placed the small CEC defensive vessels under stict lockdown while sending imperial agents to 'secure' Jessica Trobane - CEO of CEC - and the two Trobane daughters. However, the NR taskforce was diverted back to Mon Calamari after hearing word of an immenent Imperial strike on Mon Calamari. Once that stalemate had been resolved, the buildup began again, this time on a larger scale and kept under stricter security to avoid information being leaked to the Empire. But information again leaked, but much later, giving the Empire insufficient time to plan a counterstrike. To avoid their forces at Corellia being overwhelmed, the Empire withdrew their forces. But instead of Corellia becoming a part of the Republic, it remained independent instead, employing the CEC garrison fleet to defend Corellia's then insignificant territories. Another several months later and Coret Trobane retired from the New Republic military, handing the reigns over to High Admiral Nicholas Dreadstar. Along with those forces and personnel that Corellia had supplied, Coret returned home to Corellia and took up part of the CEC command structure, more specifically the naval aspect. Shortly after the Republic assault on Bilbringi, in which Corellian forces took part, Corellia took the plunge and became a galactic government under the title of the Corellian Commonwealth. With this came the build up of the fleet to current numbers and technological standards under the overall command of High Admiral Coret Trobane. Alliances were quickly formed with long standing allies of Coret Trobane such as Esran Croft and the Loris Alliance (now the Lorisian Empire) and the Sword Worlds Alliance. Regretably though, Coret's career did not last long. This was due to a combined Commonwealth and Republic strike at the Imperial-held shipyard of Fondor. An easy win was expected, but Imperial reinforcements consisting of both the Omnipotence and Cleansing - both Command ships - turned the tide in favour of the Imperials. In the end the combined task force retreated following the destruction of the CC flagship Hope's Sanctuary, with Coret Trobane dieing on board. The only good thing in the battle was massive damage being inflicted on many of the imperial ships, and the demise of the Omnipotence which was taken by the death-throws of the Sanctuary. Since then the leadership within the Commonwealth military has changed, with Cameron Donner - former second in command to Coret taking the reigns, with Jessica Trobane taking an advisory role.
