Bakur Memorial Building
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Bakur Memorial Building, also known as the Bakur Complex, served as the center of government on Bakura. Located slightly southwest of the center of the capital city of Salis D'aar,[1] the truncated, wedge-shaped building overlooked Statuary Park at the city's center.[2] It was first the headquarters of the Bakur Mining Corporation, before becoming the location of the Bakuran Senate.[2]
The Senate chamber was located in a wing of its own. The chamber was roughly rectangular, with a tiled, two-story-tall ceiling. At each corner were glass pillars, self-illuminating and open to the sky at the top. The Senate was arranged so that the Prime Minister (and Imperial governor, during the occupation) sat at the front of the room. On a lower level were a pair of tables for lower-ranking senators, and lower from those were a pair of tables for ministers and senior senators. In front of the senior tables was a space for speakers to address the Senate.
The "corporate wing" of the Building was completed approximately a century before the Battle of Bakura, possibly as a result of the droid uprising in 97 BBY. The Corporation may have been stationed elsewhere prior to that, that may have been when the government was established, or that may have been the year in which the Corporation turned over power to the Senate.
Following the Battle of Bakura, the Senate moved to the Bakuran Senate Complex.[source?]
The Bakuran Senate Complex was a bunker-like complex in Salis D'aar, Bakura, that housed the Bakuran Senate after the Battle of Bakura to provide a safer location for the Senate than the Bakur Memorial Building. In case of emergencies, a number of the city's citizens would also be held inside the complex, which included heavy armor and weapons caches to provide for self-defense.
