Sector Assembly

Sector Assemblies were sector-level governments that were comprised of representatives from various sovereign, semi-autonomous, or territorial planets within a sector. Each Sector Assembly was represented in the Galactic Senate by the senator of the sector's capital. It was known that each sector that was a member of the Galactic Republic was legislated to some extent by a Sector Assembly except the Corusca sector, which was governed directly by the Senate. There were, however, many sovereign worlds that were members of the Galactic Senate though were not governed by a Sector Assembly, but rather a local monarchies and republics. Following the Galactic Empire's reformation of provincial laws, most Sector Assemblies were placed under the governorship of appointed viceroys, barons, and moffs, further reducing the sovereignty of various worlds across the known galaxy as well as virtually erasing the authority of individual senator.

The elected head of a Sector Assembly, who played the role of a governor on behalf of the Galactic Senate, often held the titles of chairman, premier, or more rarely, president. The Sector Assembly itself was comprised of planetary or municipal governors, their councils, as well as the office staff of their sector's Senate representative.
