• Description:
  The Coruscanti People's Union is managed by the Galactic City Authority, with the Mayor at its' head. Each branch of Government acts as a series of checks & balances, ensuring fair & ethical practices. The Legislative Branch & the Judicial Branch are primarily responsible for the drafting, voting, and ratification of new laws, with the Judicial Branch also heading the CSB "Coruscant Security Bureau" and responsible for judging all criminal & civil cases (with oversight by the Legislative & Executive Branches). Local municipalities are broken into Districts, with each District overseen by Senators who serve for a period of 5 years with an 10-year limit. Each District provides for the basic & necessary infrastructure. Representatives from each district make up the City Council, who are responsible for lobbying for their district's residents.
  
  Corporate entities are likely to pursue relationships with powerful Government figures, but most have little effect over the creation & ratification of laws. The Office of Planetary Affairs & The Council on Corporate Relations are available to receive groups & organizations with an interest in Coruscant's future.

• Membership: 59% of the population (Approx. 590 Billion People); To join the Union, one must first be a registered voter (which is accomplished by becoming a naturalized citizen, holding residence on the planet, & paying taxes). To become a card-holding "member" (IC, able to hold public office), one must first be a citizen, then obtain sufficient support enough to fund one's own campaign for election. Process is merits-based, with elections for major public seats held once every few years.
  
  The CPU has retained a number of former Coruscant First officials with a record of moderation.
  
• Influence: The Planet Coruscant & surrounding space
• Climate: Democratic, Supportive of Natural Rights & Personal Liberty, Laissez-faire Market Economy, inclusive of all sentient races, compassionate toward the poor & destitute.
• Reputation: Beloved by more than half the population of Coruscant, including the poor. Respected by Corporate Entities for their somewhat lax interpretations of Corporate Law. Positive relations between private groups & organizations, with an ask-no-questions policy regarding personal business ventures & investments.
  
• Rules:
  - No convicted criminals allowed to serve office.

After a relatively unchallenged campaign, Devlyn Kane and his party (The Unified Coruscant Party) went on to win nearly 60% of the popular vote, and 83% of the Electoral Votes required to cement his position as the new Mayor of Coruscant. The Coruscanti People's Union now holds majority control over Coruscant's assets, as well as the future of the planet, in the palms of its' collective hands.
