General Ministry
this body ran the day-to-day business of the New Republic. It was formed after the dissolution of the Provisional Council, in an effort to to ensure that the non-military aspects of the government were duly addressed. It had the responsibility for handling the ministry of the government, finance, commerce, security and intelligence, and science and education. Many well-respected universities, including the Obroan Institute for Archaeology and the Kellmer Institute of Galactic History, were directly funded by the General Minsitry.
