Nirawen

"(text of the quote)"

, located in the Inner Rim, was the second planet of the Nirawen System. The planet played a critical role in the galactic arena during the Galactic Republic and the Clone Wars. At the rise of the Galactic Empire, the system isolated itself and aligned with the Rebel Alliance. The Nirawenian people helped in the formation of the New Republic.

Royal House of Nirawen
The Royal House of Nirawen was the reigning family of the Nirawen System. The royal house is notable because it is centrally comprised of force sensitives. Due to treaties following the system's settlement, the royal family is not made to join the Jedi Order.

Although force sensitives, the royal house was able to survive Order 66 due to the system's increasing isolationist nature near the end of the Clone Wars. From the time of Nirawen's settlement, the royal family has maintained leadership of the system.

Relationship with Jedi Order
Monarchs and other members of the royal house have traditionally worked closely with the Jedi Order, with some choosing to join the order outright. While not officially Jedi, members of the house are often trained in the Jedi arts and work with the Jedi Council to promote peace in the galaxy.

Government
The Nirawen government was comprised of three independent branches — executive, legislature, and judicial.

Executive
A hereditary monarch heads the executive branch acting as head of state, head of government, and commander of the Royal Security Forces. The monarch is responsible for giving assent to, implementing, executing and enforcing laws written and passed by congress. The Monarch also has powers of appointment, dependent upon Senate approval. He or she appoints the Royal Advisory Council, heads of ministries, and issues royal decrees.

The executive branch includes an elected Governor General who is the second-highest ranking government official. The governor is the head of the Royal Advisory Council, acts as a public advocate, advises the monarch, has the ability to overrule two monarchical decisions per term, and makes judicial appointments.

Succession
Heirs to the throne are hereditary. However, the governor is the first person in the line of succession, and would ascend to become regent upon the absence, incapacitation, death or removal of the monarch from power. The governor would be regent until a royal heir comes of age, or is put into power by the congress. Another royal family member may be appointed by congress as regent, thus putting the governor back in their original position.

Legislature
The legislative branch consists of the House and Senate, which together form The Nirawen Congress. The constitution grants the congress sole authority of creating and enacting legislation and declare war, the right to confirm or reject many monarchical or gubernatorial appointments, and substantial investigative and oversight powers. The popularly elected Speaker presides over the congress, overseeing procedural matters and bringing legislation to a vote.

Judicial
The primary responsibility of the judicial branch is to interpret and apply the laws, and ensure their constitutionality. The Royal Court of Nirawen is the system's highest court. Its opinions help shape policy and determine the application of laws. The Royal Court also resolves disputes between provinces.
