Honor Guard

"Excuse me. Chancellor Palpatine has summoned both of you to his chambers."

- An Honor Guard to Padmé Amidala and Lolo Purs

The Honor Guard was a unit within the Galactic Republic's Senate Guard who wore distinctive black ceremonial cloaks, had white markings on their blue armor, and were equipped with DC-15 blaster rifles. Between the years 21 and 20 BBY, at least sixteen members of the Honor Guard were present at the funeral of Senator Onaconda Farr on the planet Coruscant, and at least eight of them conducted a present arms salute after a eulogy by Silood and as the casket was being brought aboard a Republic frigate.

Following the ceremony, a guard approached Senator Padmé Amidala and Lolo Purs and informed them that Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine had summoned them to his chambers.
