"Long live the New Republic" served as a greeting within the New Republic, employed by individuals who previously belonged to the Galactic Empire in the New Republic Era. This expression mirrored "Long live the Empire," a common Imperial greeting.
In a discussion among ex-Imperials participating in the New Republic Amnesty Program, Amnesty Officer M34 offered a toast to the New Republic. The group, which featured Elia Kane, a former Imperial officer, echoed the salute, and subsequently Doctor Penn Pershing followed suit.
