Previous Committee Info

Agricultural Committee
Members of this committee are tasked with securing the welfare of the citizens of the Republic, through the distribution of necessities such as food and clothing. Farming and rural placement come under this committee's jurisdiction, with the creation of new settlements on newly colonised worlds throughout Republic space.

Ethics Committee
The members of this committee strive to ensure the well-being of citizens of the Republic. The fight for an end against alien discrimination, aspiring for equal rights given to all species no matter their culture. These members are also quite adept in many over languages other than their own, often serving as ambassadors or journeying to other Republic worlds to settle disputes that may have been formed by the Republic. Maintaining the well-being of the Republic's people is their top priority.

Finance Committee
A group of Senators who, although don't look after the wealth of the Republic and the Senate, but instead advise those who wish to spend it. They have no proper access to the credits, only approve of the reasons for spending.

Judiciary Committee
A group of Senators who handle/organise trials and court dates. These Senators may also act as magistrates or lawyers although tend to not get to involved, preferring to stick to organising and investigating into these matters. These Senators are also commonly asked to sort out problems within the Senate, whether they be verbal squabbles or disputes on a higher level.

Internal Activities Committee
These committee members handle all internal affairs that occur within the realm of the Republic, their influence stretching out to the fair reaches of the Republic territory. It is their job to maintain the Republics democratic demeanor, making sure any internal conflicts stay hidden or are quickly resolved. These members often work quite closely with the Galactic Intelligence Agency.


Loyalist Committee
An advisory Council organised to relieve some stress of those of higher ranking in the Senate. These members of the committee aspire to assisting their Supreme Chancellor, becoming his most loyal advisers and trusted allies after the position filled by the Vice Chancellor. These members also work towards cleansing the corruption and selfish ways of the Senate, promoting loyalty to the whole of the Galactic Republic.


Public Relations Committee
Members of this committee ensure that a minimum of negative reports and statements escape to the ears of the public. The less the public know, the better. These members also ensure that the public image of the Senate and the Republic as a whole, stays clean and pristine. Keeping as much information away from the press also comes under this committees daily duties.


Security Council
These members are charged with the security and safety of all who dwell within the Republic's borders. Among the Securtiy Council's list of powers was the authority to initiate Order 65, a contingency command instructing all units of the Grand Army of the Republic that the Supreme Chancellor had been declared a threat to the Galactic Republic and was to be apprehended or terminated if necessary. As of yet, this command has never had a reason to be initiated.


Trade Council
Members of the Council are charged with overseeing the state of commerce in the Republic. The Council was the priamry body for mediating disputes over the availabiltiy of technology and raw materials, and was forced to decide the best course of action when the regulation of commercial commodities threatened the economical climate of a planet in the Republic.


Military Oversight Committee
Members are concerned with military spending, largely funding for the army which travel into the hands of the Military Representative. The spending is most often required to defend constituent planets. They oversee the Judicial Forces, Coruscants own planetary defense Forces as well as the Grand Army of the Republic. Normally these positions are filled with either experienced army veterans or politicians who have seen more fighting than most.


Penal Oversight Committee
Members are to ensure the security and effectiveness of the Republic's prisons and its captives. The treatment of those in custody are determined by the laws organised by this committee.
