Provisional Council
after the leaders of the New Republic re-established their governmental seat on Coruscant, some four years after the Battle of Endor, the Provisional Council was established to restore the principles and laws of the Old Republic. It also provided leadership and direction for the New Republic. It was considered a more formal political arena than the Inner Council, which was generally thought of as guiding the Provisional Council. As its name implied, the Provisional Council was set up to assist in repairing the damage caused by Emperor Palpatine's New Order, but was by no means permanent. It was dissolved a short time before the Yevethan Purge, and replaced with a full government designed by the various Senatorial leaders.
