The Reconstruction Authority represents the body that the Galactic Alliance established following the Yuuzhan Vong War. Its purpose was to aid in the restoration of the galaxy after the widespread destruction caused by the conflict. The responsibilities assigned to the Authority included activities like the re-terraforming of Coruscant, the search for a new homeworld for the Ithorians and other species who were displaced by the Yuuzhan Vong, and additional related tasks. Furthermore, the Authority provided the Jedi with a new Jedi Temple on Coruscant as a gesture of gratitude for their contributions during the War.
