Red Guard

The Red Guard was a group of specially trained members of the Senate Guard. They were charged with the protection of Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars. As they were formed at Palpatine's discretion without a formal act, several Senators (including Bail Organa) considered them to be illegal, and even the Jedi Council were unsure of their true size and strength. Palpatine justified their creation due to rumors of corruption amongst the Blue Guard. The Red Guard later became the first of the Emperor's Royal Guard.
