Bakur Memorial Building

The Bakur Memorial Building was the center of government on Bakura. Located in the capital city of Salis D'aar, it was first the headquarters of the Bakur Mining Corporation, then the location of the Bakuran Senate.

The Senate chamber was located in a wing of its own. The chambersquare, with a tiled, two-story-tall ceiling. At each corner were glass pillars, self-illuminating and open to the sky at the top. The Senate was arranged so that the Prime Minister (and Imperial governor, during the occupation) sat at the front of the room; on a lower level were a pair of tables for lower-ranking senators; and lower from those were a pair of tables for ministers and senior senators. In front of the senior tables was a space for speakers to address the Senate.

The 'corporate wing' of the Building was completed approximately a century before the Battle of Bakura, possibly as a result of the droid uprising in 97 BBY. The Corporation may have been station elsewhere prior to that, that may have been when the government was established, or that may have bene the year in which the Corporation turned over power to the Senate.
