Qabbrat

The Qabbrat (from the  qabbrat meaning "meditation chamber" ) was the name of the  of the Tsis Worlds. Its membership was composed of the gerasgrafasi, the planetary monarchs who ruled the Tsis Worlds, and the geraskissais, high ranking members of the Tsis clergy. The head of the Qabbrat was the reigning Daritha Valdiastsisiv or "Emperor of the Tsis Worlds" who issued summons and oversaw proceedings, and its seat was the Dvaraspulinys (literally "gathering palace" ) in the Miestasasmenysiv on Lune.

History
The origins of the Qabbrat could be traced to the gatherings of gerasgrafasi required by the first daritha of the Tsis, Ziaurus. A conqueror who united the autonomous worlds of the Tsis beneath his banner, Ziaurus, the former gerasgrafas of Azarac, placated his subjugated potential rivals by providing them seats on his nascent advisory council, which was eventually granted some legislative powers of its own. As meetings were generally held in the daritha's mediation chamber in the Temple of Azarac, the council was referenced by the Tsis populace as the qabbratkomunal or "mediation room parliament," and was thereafter known simply as the Qabbrat.

With subsequent darithas, the powers of the Qabbrat were expanded and codified, with the body taking on the duties of a legislative branch in the Tsis Worlds government. Requests for inclusion by members of the Tsis clergy eventually necessitated the addition of certain high ranking geraskissais to the ranks of the Qabbrat. With the end of the and the influx of traders, merchants, and former  Force users to Lune and other planets, the Tsis Worlds began to see the occasional non-Tsis gerasgrafas request permission to attend Qabbrat meetings on Azarac. As the presence of non-Tsis on sacred Azarac was considered taboo in Tsis culture, the meeting place of the Qabbrat was eventually moved to a specially constructed palace called the Dvaraspulinys (Old Sith compound word constructed from dvaras meaning "mansion/palace" and pulinys meaning "gathering" ) located in Lune's capital city of Miestasasmenysiv.

Though the body could meet of its own volition at any time, gerasgrafasi members of the parliament could not refuse a summons for assembly issued by the presiding daritha. Failure to appear at such a gathering was viewed as an act of criminal disobedience resulting in the forfeiture of the offending king's seat and position. Geraskissais could ignore such summons without punishment, however, as attending to matters of faith was considered a valid excuse for one's absence.
