New Republic Observer

The New Republic Observers were a semi-official organization sponsored by the New Republic, beginning in the closing days of the Galactic Civil War. Each observer was assigned to a sector of the Republic, and tasked with reporting to the Senate and the Council of State any activities worth noting, especially misbehavior and corruption among local or New Republic officials. Each Observer was assigned a sector far from his, her, or its homeworld in an effort to avoid charges of favoritism. Observers were chosen very carefully, ensuring that only extremely ethical beings would join the organization. In some ways, the Observers were meant to fill the same diplomatic and peacekeeping roles as the Old Republic's Jedi.
