Commission for the Protection of the Republic The Commission for the Protection of the Republic ( COMPOR ) was a populist movement that existed during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . Formed in a time of conflict across the galaxy , COMPOR was responsible for promoting wartime propaganda to support the Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars . The organization was overseen by a director who , in addition to serving as head of COMPOR , was also part of the Strategic Advisory Cell . Its membership included several artist s such as Venthan Chassu , Byno Doubton , Hamma Elad , and Donclode Onstruss — all of whom created various propaganda posters on behalf of COMPOR . As the conflict escalated , the group lobbied the Republic to give more authority to Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine , asserting that a more powerful executive office would lead to total victory over the Separatists . By the end of the war , Palpatine declared himself Emperor of the First Galactic Empire . As a result of the new regime ' s rise to power , COMPOR was reorganized into the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order ( COMPNOR ) . History . The Galactic Republic ' s final years were marked by a secessionist crisis that ultimately escalated into a pan - galactic war known as the Clone Wars — the first full - scale conflict in a millennium . Rallying to the Republic ' s defense , the Commission for the Protection of the Republic ( COMPOR ) was formed as a populist movement consisting of loyalist s who supported the Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Over time COMPOR grew in membership and influence as the civil war spread throughout the galaxy , becoming associated with high - ranking officer s and politicians such as Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin and Senator Orn Free Taa , respectively , as well as Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine . During the Clone Wars , the Director of COMPOR was one of several Republic officials , such as Lieutenant Commander Orsan Krennic , who attended a meeting held by the Strategic Advisory Cell in the Republic Center for Military Operations — a military complex located on the galactic capital world of Coruscant — prior to the first anniversary of the Battle of Geonosis . Together , they discussed the clandestine plan to create a mobile battle station . Although the war ended with the Confederacy ' s defeat , the Republic was also brought to an end by Chancellor Palpatine , who declared himself Emperor of the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY . As the new government rose in place of the old democratic institution , COMPOR was subsequently reformed into the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order ( COMPNOR ) . Ideology . The mission of COMPOR was to strengthen public morale and support the war effort by presenting and fostering a positive image of the Republic . To that end , COMPOR engaged in the creation and dissemination of propaganda throughout the Galactic Republic . The group was especially supportive of Sheev Palpatine as a wartime chancellor , and produced the propaganda piece " Do Not Bind His Hands " which asserted the position of granting all necessary powers to the leader of the Republic in order to secure total victory . COMPOR also considered emphasizing the Republic ' s relationship with the Jedi Order in its propaganda , but ultimately decided against this due to the Jedi ' s reluctance as military leaders . As such , the poster " Jedi Unite for Peace " never saw distribution . In supporting the war effort , COMPOR not only promoted patriotism but also pride in the newly - established armed forces of the Republic . The clone trooper s , elite soldier s of the Grand Army of the Republic for which the Clone Wars was named after , became tools for COMPOR ' s propaganda , leading to pieces such as " Unite " and " Support the Boys in White . " By promoting civic pride in the Republic , COMPOR endeavored to foster anti - Separatist sentiment in the general population . The group therefore used its propaganda machine to mock the Confederacy leadership and , in general , portrayed Separatists as evil . The poster " Evil Has Its Eyes On You " featured two prominent Separatist leaders , Count Dooku and General Grievous , as ghoulish caricatures . Organization . COMPOR was organized as a political movement of Republic loyalists from diverse backgrounds , such as artist s , communications specialists , and writers . Through its membership , COMPOR ' s influence extended to various levels of the Republic ' s infrastructure , including media , military , government , and even the Office of the Chancellor . Its recruitment efforts were also successful with younger generations , leading to the creation of SAGroup , a youth program and sub - branch of COMPOR .
