Republic Executive Building



The Republic Executive Building was a large domed building in the Senate District of Galactic City on Coruscant. The building was located at the rear of the Senate Building. The annex dome was designed to complement the Senate Building, due to thiner similar appearance. The building was built to alleviate the cramped office conditions in the Senate Building.

The Executive Building featured an expansive, multi-level landing dock near the top of the dome. Executive shuttles, speeders and gunships docked here for meetings with the occupants of the Senate offices. Attendant droids, load-lifters and pilot automatons were on hand to assist Republic officials. Larger vessels, such as diplomatic cruisers, star skiffs and light stock freighters, could dock in some of the larger landing bays. From the dock, visitors walked through a huge, column-lined hall to reach the executive offices.

During the Clone Wars, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was one of the most high profile residents of the building. It was in his office, over looking Galactic City, where he dueled Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto, and Saesee Tiin, before issuing Order 66 and beginning the Great Jedi Purge.

After the formation of the Galactic Empire, Emperor Palpatine relocated his place of residence to the Presidential palace, which he renamed the Imperial Palace.
