"The Republic Guard are the protectors of Coruscant & the Senate and consist primarily of infantry soldiers and police. They serve as soldiers, security, spies, pilots, and police. The Guard has long been a military force on Coruscant, with the vast majority of its focus on infantry and police troops despite the existence of other branches. In recent times, it has been held under Palpatine's control and has resisted attempts by the Senate to gain control. At one point, a faction of the Senate tried and failed to create an \"Army of the Republic\" for this reason. As a result, the Republic Guard has found it difficult to get funding, much of which has instead gone to the Republic Navy. For the Guard, the top position is a military position, the Marshal of the Guard, as opposed to the Navy's top position, which is the civilian position of Minister of the Navy. The Republic Guard requires no political authorization or approval for promotion, while the Navy's top ranks must be approved by the Senate. Recently, the Navy and the Republic Guard have come together under the head of the Unified Command."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Marshal of the Guard"@en . . . .
