Palpatine's Statue Garden

Palpatine's Statue Garden was an open air location in the Republic Executive Building where Supreme Chancellor Palpatine kept a number of stone statues. The garden occupied space on a large balcony on one of the upper levels of the executive building. Chancellor Palpatine would visit the garden when he sought a few minutes of privacy away from his main office.

History
The garden was created during the construction of the Senate Executive Building. Its location provided a wide view of the city and of the endless stream of air traffic. Within the garden, Palpatine placed seven stone statues that depicted humanoid figures. The Chancellor would often enjoy a drink as he admired the view of the city.

In 19BBY, Chancellor Palpatine was alone in the garden enjoying a cup of tea when he was visited by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. The Chancellor proceed to inform the young Jedi that he several hours early for a Senate War Rally to which Anakin replied he would not be able to attend as he had been called away to help a Jedi Task Force track down a Sith Lord. Believing Count Dooku, Palpatine's own Sith Apprentice, to be the intended target, Palpatine encouraged Anakin to go and help bring Dooku to justice. However, Anakin revealed that the Sith Lord the Jedi where seeking was not Dooku but Sith Lord who Obi Wan Kenobi had slayed on Naboo, Darth Maul.

Palpatine was stunned and speechless upon learning the news his former apprentice was still alive. After a several moments of silence, Palpatine told Anakin he found it hard to believe that Maul had survived Obi-Wan's fatal attack. Agreeing with the Chancellor, the Anakin went on to explain that the Sith rely on their anger and do not accept death as a final end.

With the end of the Clone Wars, Palpatine reorganized the Galactic Republic into the First Galactic Empire with himself as Emperor. The statue garden most likely was relocated when construction was finished to the new Imperial Palace as it offered more room than Palpatine's chambers in Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center.

Layout
The garden was located on a balcony in the upper levels of the Senate Executive Building. A median size railing ran along the balcony on all sides. As the garden was uncovered, the numerous space lanes that crisscrossed across Coruscant where visible. The garden was large enough for individuals to move about the statues with ease.

The statues themselves were of unknown humanoid figures craved from stone with each figure standing atop the rock it was made from. Two of the figures appeared to be wearing a type of head covering with one being a warrior and held a type of staff in his right hand and the other of a figure kneeling with right arm outstretched holding a skull in his hand. A third figure appeared to be cloaked and was posed leaning on a long staff.
