Background: The New Republic Credit, also known as the Republic credit or simply the credit, was a standardized form of currency in use during the New Republic following the Empire’s fall. Credits were considered acceptable as currency on most major planets, though on some planets in the Outer Rim Territories, such as Tatooine. The Old Republic and Imperial currency was discontinued and exchanged with New Republic credits after the fall of the Empire. The credit symbol resembled an Aurebesh letter R with two vertical strokes at the top.
