Bendu

Even though the symbol of the Bendu was eventually used by the Galactic Republic, they at first used their own symbol. Curiously, the later reformed Sith Empire used a six-spoked symbol similar to the one used by the Republic after the Sith civil war. By then, the Republic had adopted the symbol to represent their own role in galactic unification. A six-spoked form of the symbol was also used by the Republic during the Clone Wars immediately before the rise of the Empire.
