The Empire had been defeated.
The Galaxy was finally free from its tyranny and vile reign, and the New republic had successfully forced it to sign the Galactic Concordance to ensure it would never resurface and spread chaos ever again.
However, little did the Republic know that whatever remained of the Empire had retreated into unknown space and eventually became what is known as the First Order, an organization that would prove to be a bigger threat than the Empire.
With Mon Mothma stepping down as chancellor of the New Republic, the Galactic Senate suffered a very noticeable change, which was the surging of two divisions: The Centrists, who favored a strong galactic government and a more powerful military, and the Populists, who believed that planets should retain their full sovereignty.
Leia Organa herself belonged to the Populist faction, in which she was supported by senators Varish Vicly from Lonera and Tai-Lin Garr from Gatalenta, who were the ones that Leia felt comfortable with. She was also accompanied by the pilot Joph Seastriker a teenage Korr Sella (both would later become two of her commanders in the Resistance) and by June Waller, a young woman from the planet New Vyllia who was offered the chance to study politics from a politician from the Republic, and she chose Organa herself.
June was a very loyal and comprehensive individual, she stood by Leia's side throughout the latter's last year in the New Republic, including when Senator Ransolm Casterfo exposed Leia's true parentage. June understood why Leia hid her parentage and didn't judge her unlike the rest of the senate. In fact, she had also been the one that convinced Korr to return to her sevices.
Eventually, Organa discovered it was Sindian the one who had discovered her secret and the one who convinced Casterfo to expose it. Not only that, Sindian was also a member of the First Order and had been behind the Napkin Bombing, the Amazines and the assassination of Senator Garr (Later blaming Casterfo for it). Organa was able to convince the Elder Houses to strip Sindian of her royal titles and power, leaving the Arkanis senator humiliated.
After the formation of the Resistance, June officially became senator of New Vyllia, and (with a bit more of investigation) was finally able to expose Sindian's treachery to the senate, getting Sindian incarcerated and saving Casterfo from death sentence.
Six years later, Senator Waller started regretting her decision to become a politician...
