The legislation concerning military funding for the New Republic was approved by the New Republic Senate around 28 ABY. It had been proposed by the New Republic Defense Council as the Yuuzhan Vong's invasion of the galaxy was ongoing.
A key component of the bill was the authorization for the New Republic to acquire over one thousand YVH 1 battle droids from Tendrando Arms, a corporation under the ownership of Lando Calrissian, who was previously a smuggler and a general.
