Legend

this huge, multi-tiered auditorium was located near the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. It was crowned by a beautiful stained-glass ceiling. The New Republic used this building to convene the full Senate body on a regular basis. Much of the seating was left over from the days of Emperor Palpatine, and did not quite accommdate many alien species. It was in this building, during a full Senate meeting, that Dolph triggered the detonation devices that were hidden in many of the Senators' personal droids. The resulting combination of explosions destroyed a great deal of the Chamber, and killed a large number of Senators. The initial blasts did a fair amount of damage, but the stained glass of the ceiling was never meant to withstand such a blast. The support structure and most of the glass rained down on the beings convened there, inflicting many lacerations and cuts, many of which were fatal.
