Galactic Republic General Ministry
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The General Ministry was the bureaucracy of the Galactic Republic. It was organized into several large permanent Ministries, smaller task-oriented service Agencies, and several semi-independent Institutes. The various Senate councils had oversight and financing authority over the corresponding Ministries.
The General Ministry oversaw a wide variety of concerns, including the ministries of government, finance, commerce, security and intelligence, and science and education. The latter segment placed a number independent institutes and universities, termed the General Ministry Institutes, under its oversight. The General Ministry was likely directed by the First Administrator.
Presumably after the Declaration of a New Order, It was dissolved. During the New Republic, it was succeeded by the Rebel Alliance Cabinet, then later the New Republic General Ministry.
