House Gallente

House Gallente was an ancient Human clan native to Alderaan; this clan may have even ruled as Alderaan's royal family at some point in the galaxy's history. Several corporations and paramilitary organizations were operated by the Gallentes from their palace on Alderaan. During the New Sith Wars era, some Force-sensitive members of House Gallente established an offshoot of the Jedi Order known as the Justicars, whose goal was to enforce Republic law in the Rim Worlds from their sanctioned stronghold on Naboo. Around 200 BBY, the Gallentes oversaw a refugee program that brought in thousands of Humans and other humanoids from numerous war-torn Rim Worlds and established a refugee colony on Corellia. As the Gallentes were the administrators of this colony, this clan and its properties was viewed as a polity in its own right, even briefly gaining independent representation in the Galactic Senate (whereas the other Alderaanian noble houses were collectively represented by the Senator of Alderaan and his/her aides).
