Legend

this was the name used to describe the small, speciallized groups of Old Republic politicians that were appointed to perform a specific task. These action subcommittees were funded by the Galactic Senate, and were assigned to any number of necessities. During the Clone Wars, several action subcommittees were created to address various aspects of the war. However, like much of the Senate's proceedings, the work of the action subcommittees was often bogged down in political wrangling, meaning that nothing ever got done in a timely fashion. This was never more evident than when Senator Onaconda Farr was forced to step down as the leader of the Corellian Trade Spine Defense subcommittee, after the planet Duro was captured by the Separatists. Many reporters believed that Chancellor Palpatine would dissolve all current action subcommittees, in favor of a more centrallized war office.
