Loyalist Committee

The Loyalist Committee was a faction within the Senate of the Galactic Republic that was created some time after the invasion of Naboo. Its members supported the Republic and its leader, the Supreme Chancellor against the threat of the newly formed Separatist Alliance. However, when the Clone Wars broke out between the two factions, Palpatine started introducing many changes and new policies in the Republic, Some members of the Loyalist Committee suspected that the Chancellor used the ongoing conflict as n excuse to claim more power for himself. Ironically, the Committee members found themselves increasingly at odds with the Chancellor, while their party had been founded to support him. Eventually, many of those Committee members joined the Delegation of 2000, which requested that the Chancellor return all his emergency powers to the Senate as soon as possible. Ultimately, the Loyalists' concerns were proved right when Palpatine unilaterally declared the transformation of the Republic into an autocratic New Order.
