Built after his election, the great Republic Executive
Building served as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's
office during his time as leader of the Republic.
Located near to the Senate chamber in the
govermental district of Coruscant, the Executive
Building was a large dome-like structure surrounded
by office towers and senatorial residences. Huge
semi-panoramic windows looked out over the city,
reminding senators meeting there that their decisions
would have wide repercussions on the Republic.
Palpatine's red-hued office was situated within the
building, and held many important meetings during his time as Chancellor; Palpatine's loyalist committee would convene in the room, and senior members of the Jedi Council often discussed events with the Chancellor there.
Palpatine usually reclined in a seat of office that included a secret shield generator at the base, after public fears for his safety prompted extra security. His desk faced the door, which was flanked by two of his red-robed guards. When discussions were held there, chairs were arranged in the office, but a holoprojector was also a feature of the room. Palpatine adorned his office with various statues kept from his days as a senator. At some point during the Clone Wars, the office was extended to take in an additional circular side room to cater for the Chancellor's new powers. |
