A Senate is a deliberative body composed of senators, usually associated with legislative functions, although it can also hold executive or judicial powers of varying degrees. There are several notable senates:

• The Galactic Senate, later renamed the Imperial Senate, was the most famous, powerful, and long-lasting (and possibly the first) senate in the Galaxy. It existed for 25,000 years, from the establishment of the Galactic Republic to its dissolution under Emperor Palpatine.
• Its successor was the New Republic Senate.
• The Galactic Alliance also established its own Senate
• The Bakuran Senate ruled the planet Bakura.
• Ylesian Senate
• Rhommamoolian Senate
• Chiss Senate
• Tapani Senate

In addition, there are also the positions of President of the Senate and Speaker of the Senate.
