Senator (Earth-2042)



"It's been my experience that Senators are only focused on pleasing those who fund their campaigns and they are more than willing to forget the niceties of democracy to get those funds."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

Senators are individuals who represent their planet, system, and/or sector in the Galactic Senate of the Galactic Republic, Imperial Senate of the Galactic Empire, or New Republic Senate. They often work alongside Junior Representatives and aides.

They also acted as sectorial heads of state in the Old Republic and New Republic senates. Some senators alternately represented very powerful megacorporations and industries, such as the Trade Federation and the Corporate Alliance. During the waning days of the Old Republic, many senators had fallen to corruption and decadence, while others strove to uphold the ideals of democracy. Many senators supported and cheered Sheev Palpatine's proclamation that turned the Republic into the Galactic Empire at the end of the Clone Wars.
