The Republic Executive Building, also called the Senate Office Building or Executive Annex Dome, was a large domed building in the Senate District of Galactic City on Coruscant.
[edit] History
The building was located at the rear of the Senate Building. The annex dome was designed to complement the Senate Building, due to their similar appearances. The building was built to alleviate the cramped office conditions in the Senate Building. The Chancellor's Suite was located towards the top of the building, from which the Supreme Chancellor conducted meetings with the Loyalist Committee, Senators and members of the Jedi High Council.
Senator Bail Organa also held an office in the building, and held a meeting with a few loyalist Senators, which would eventually become the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Following the memory wipe of C-3PO, Organa stored the droid's memory on a data disk in his office, to retrieve it if necessary.
The Executive Building featured an expansive, multi-level landing dock near the top of the dome. Executive shuttles, speeders and gunships docked here for meetings with the occupants of the Senate offices. Attendant droids, load-lifters and pilot automatons were on hand to assist Republic officials. Larger vessels, such as diplomatic cruisers, star skiffs and light stock freighters, could dock in some of the larger landing bays. From the dock, visitors walked through a huge, column-lined hall to reach the executive offices. It had an atrium at its top.
During the Clone Wars, Chancellor Palpatine was one of the most high profile residents of the building. It was in his office, overlooking Galactic City, where he resisted an arrest attempt by Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto, and Saesee Tiin, before issuing Order 66 and beginning the Great Jedi Purge.
After the formation of the Galactic Empire, Emperor Palpatine relocated his place of residence to the Palace of the Republic, which he renamed the Imperial Palace. Secret chambers within the Executive Building were used to hold captured Jedi during the Purge. In the bowels of the building, Darth Vader tortured Dama Montalvo in his attempt to track down Obi-Wan Kenobi.
