- "Senate Commandos? How does a money-grubbing worm like Gunray rate all this security?"
- ―Ahsoka Tano
Senate Commandos were an elite division of the Senate Guard, a Galactic Republic security force tasked with protecting the Galactic Senate and the Supreme Chancellor. A highly regarded force consisting of the best and bravest members of the Guard, the commandos carried out secret missions on behalf of the government.[5] They were also distinguished from the rest of the Guard by their armor, which was made to be more flexible and battle ready than the ornamental uniforms of their rank-and-file counterparts.[4]
During the Clone Wars, Captain Argyus—an officer of the Senate Commandos—betrayed the Republic by assisting the Separatists with the rescue of Viceroy Nute Gunray.[6] By the end of the war, the Senate Guard was phased out and replaced by the Imperial Royal Guard of Emperor Palpatine.[4]
