- "As a practical matter—as of this morning—the Senate no longer exists."
- ―Mon Mothma
The Sector Governance Decree was a proclamation passed by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, via his emergency powers, in the closing days of the Clone Wars.
History[]
- "Palpatine no longer has to worry about controlling the Senate. By placing his own lackeys as governors over every planet in the Republic, he controls our systems directly. He's become a dictator. We made him a dictator."
- ―Bail Organa
It created the positions of Planetary Governor and Sector Moff.
The decree also gave twenty of the new Moffs responsibility for supporting the Republic's twenty Sector Armies. These Moffs' military territories, known as oversectors, matched the Sector Armies' sphere of operations.[2]
The Sector Governance Decree was the final impetus that led several senators to issue the Petition of 2000. It was possibly considered in response to the scandal following the fall of Duro.
