The Republic Treasury served as the Galactic Republic's economic regulatory body, responsible for managing the government's financial structure, notably the production of Republic credits. This extensive agency comprised many departments and offices, with its agents dedicated to examining issues such as tax evasion, currency tampering, and forgery. Furthermore, it collaborated extensively with significant financial institutions, for example, the Bank of the Core and the InterGalactic Banking Clan, to maintain credit reserves aimed at guaranteeing monetary stability.
The initial reference to the Republic Treasury within current Star Wars canon occurred in Rise of the Separatists, a 2019 addition to Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars Roleplaying series. Within the Star Wars Legends timeline, the Republic Treasury was originally presented in Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, a 2001 novel penned by Michael Reaves. Subsequently, the Treasury's inaugural appearance was in Republic Commando: Triple Zero, a 2006 novel written by Karen Traviss.
