Imperial Senate

In the fictional Star Wars trilogy, the Imperial Senate replaced the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic, run by power hungry bureaucrats, with Palpatine as Emperor. In , it is told by Grand Moff Tarkin that Palpatine, who began to see that the Senate would support the Rebellion, dissolved the Senate and all that remains of the Old Republic, putting him in complete control of the Galactic Empire. Because the Rebellion was an influential movement in the senate, Palpatine and his council dissolved the remnants of the Old Republic in a especial session of the senate. Emperor Palpatine instead gave power to the regional governors and Moffs to maintain order and control over all colonies and member worlds of the Empire.
