Hi everyone!
Today i'd like to bring up credits. I feel that pages for Republic Credits/Republic dataries, Confederacy credits, Imperial Credits, New Republic credits (and Milvayne credits) should all get their own pages. I believe this because:
- Star Wars: The Bad Batch and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew both establish that Republic Credits/Republic dataries have a different worth to Imperial Credits or New Republic credits by the time of their respective shows.
- Star Wars Outlaws treats Republic Credits differently to Imperial Credits, with the player being able to purchase a Republic Credit for 4 Imperial Credit
- Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: The Bad Batch establishes that currencies from other galactic governments in previous eras can't be used in their current eras, once again establishing they aren't the same thing
I'm sure there are more examples of different credits being used by different galactic governments, though these are the ones i can come up with. I'm not opposed to keeping the Galactic Credit Standard page however, which isn't a specific currency, but rather the form of currency.
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider my Senate Hall forum, and i'd be happy to answer any questions any of you have below. RocketLaunchJr1 Ever been to Ghorman? 08:17, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

- As per my comments prior to the SH, I still think that a lot of em can just be covered under the description section of the article, splitting the viable credits from era to era for the more "universal" credits like the ones by the Republic and Imperial. Currencies like Milvayne's can be argued for though, given it's more "local" government body. Bonzane10

(Talk) 11:30, 4 October 2025 (UTC) - I'm a bit mixed on the topic, but generally think the galactic currency/currencies should all remain detailed one page. Like with Mor's example above, I guess I see that as more a case of the rarity of the object giving it its worth rather than the actual currency being technically different. Like how a rare quarter IRL is still technically equivalent to $.25 despite many people being willing to pay much more for it, if that makes sense. Same currency, but the different eras a coin or bill comes from, as well as mint, material, even defect can affect its perceived worth, which is why the At Attin credits were so sought after. To the citizens, they were presumably worth the same as any other credit, but to the pirates, they just saw them differently. - MTrac1000 (talk) 16:25, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- A lot of the time, whether or not articles get made is heavily or at least to-a-notable-degree influenced by whether each of the subjects being considered to be split off have canonical IDs and making sure those are located ahead of time, should the page split move forward. I'm aware the Imperial/Republic ones will be fairly easy to find, but nevertheless it would be much more ideal if the SH included the sources that include the identification (and the canonical capitalization(s)) of each of the proposed "new" split pages. Particularly for the Milvayne one; there's probably a lot less sources that ID that one than say, Imperial credit, which we can source to tons of things.—spookywillowwtalk 17:16, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, it seems to me from a surface level that the credit is the standard currency, and the descriptors of "Republic" or "Imperial" or "New Republic" seem to be concerned only with the date of issue, which would affect the value as MTrac said in the sense of a British pound coin bearing the head of George V, George VI, or Elizabeth II, but not necessarily be different things in the sense of the US dollar and Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. In any case, this discussion would benefit from detailing specific sources as Spooky said.OOM 224 17:19, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Do we know for certain that it is strictly only issue date? Given how differently each type of credit tends to be treated, as well as tracking what appears where, I see the value in both keeping the overall Credit article and making separate articles for each type of credit.

- Hi guys sorry for not getting to you comments earlier, i've been quite busy over the last few weeks. I plan on answering all them over the next few days RocketLaunchJr1 Ever been to Ghorman? 10:49, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
