Star Wars Galactic Senate

The Galactic Senate in Star Wars is a political assembly representing thousands of star systems across the galaxy. Its purpose is to facilitate discussion, decision-making, and governance on issues affecting the galaxy’s systems and colonies. Members of the Senate are elected or appointed by their respective planets or systems, and they debate policies, treaties, and military actions. While meant to promote cooperation, the Senate can become complex and slow, with political conflicts and corruption affecting its effectiveness. It serves as a central institution for galactic politics, reflecting the diverse interests of its many member worlds within a fictional interstellar society.
