Bakur Memorial Building The Bakur Memorial Building , also known as the Bakur Complex , served as the center of government on Bakura . Located slightly southwest of the center of the capital city of Salis D ' aar , the truncated , wedge - shaped building overlooked Statuary Park at the city ' s center . It was first the headquarters of the Bakur Mining Corporation , before becoming the location of the Bakuran Senate . Description . Senate Chamber . The Senate chamber was located in a wing of its own . The chamber was roughly rectangular , with a tiled , two - story - tall ceiling . At each corner were glass pillars , self - illuminating and open to the sky at the top . The Senate was arranged so that the Prime Minister ( and Imperial governor , during the occupation ) sat at the front of the room . On a lower level were a pair of tables for lower - ranking senators , and lower from those were a pair of tables for ministers and senior senators . In front of the senior tables was a space for speakers to address the Senate . Following the Battle of Bakura , the Senate moved to the Bakuran Senate Complex . The Bakuran Senate Complex was a bunker - like complex in Salis D ' aar , Bakura , that housed the Bakuran Senate after the Battle of Bakura to provide a safer location for the Senate than the Bakur Memorial Building . In case of emergencies , a number of the city ' s citizens would also be held inside the complex , which included heavy armor and weapons caches to provide for self - defense . Corporate Wing . The " corporate wing " of the Building was completed approximately a century before the Invasion of Bakura , possibly as a result of the droid uprising in 97 BBY . The Corporation may have been stationed elsewhere prior to that , that may have been when the government was established , or that may have been the year in which the Corporation turned over power to the Senate . First Floor . The first floor of the Bakur complex was a lobby and reception area . The lobby was spacious and airy , with subtle and tasteful statues and flatsculps from native artists . A contingent of security guards was posted at all entrances and exits , a holdover from the days of civil war and factional infighting among the Bakuran leadership . Residential Wing . Guest and resident housing was located on the second and third floors of the Residential wing . Located on the far side of the Bakur complex , guests had to take the tram to get to the Imperial Offices and Senate wings . Since these apartments were reserved for senators and important dignitaries , the wing was richly decorated , with water panels , paintings and plants . A large , airy lobby housed the drop and lift shafts and connected to the wing ' s many corridors . Corridors were built from the familiar white stone used in most Bakuran buildings . Rooms and suites opened into both the corridors and the main lobby . The rooms were tailored to suit the needs and tastes of their inhabitants . Non - resident guest quarters were generally decorated with pale - yellow namana wood panelling , with large windows overlooking the Greenwell . A hexagonal lounge " pit " area , filled with small repulsor cushions , dominated the main room of each apartment . Each apartment possessed a three - D screen , comm module , and computer terminal . In addition , each room was decorated with a different muralscape - a computer animated landscape scene that was eerily realistic . These murals generally depicted locations on Bakura , though they could be reprogrammed for virtually any view . Imperial Offices Wing . The upper levels of the Bakur complex were dominated by the Imperial Offices wing , which housed the offices of Governor Nereus ' subordinates , as well as COMPNOR ' s operations center . ( Apparently , a sophisticated surveillance system was in place , but it was sabotaged by COMPNOR agents before the Imperial surrender . ) This area also housed a medical bay ( often used by Nereus to conduct interrogations ) , a tram station , the Great Hall , and the Bakuran Senate Chamber . Governor Nereus ' office was located on the ground level of the Imperial Offices wing . It was occupied by Pter Thanas following the Imperial surrender . The office housed the complex ' s HoloNet reception point , with the transceiver located on a small pad near Nereus ' broad desk . Large windows looked out onto the Greenwell , though Nereus generally kept the windows shuttered . The office walls were decorated with the dental specimens Nereus collected from various species . A conference table with a retractable holoprojector was also in the office . The Great Hall . Connecting the tram station arch and the Senate Chamber was the Great Hall . A traditional gathering place for politicians , business and civic leaders , many of Bakura ' s most important laws were crafted during meetings in this corridor . Smaller side corridors led to drop and lift shafts connecting to other levels . The Senate wing connected to the Great Hall through another side corridor and was a brief walk from the Senate Chamber . The large corridor was carpeted in thick black . A row of columns , crafted from expensive red marble and traced with gold , lined the corridor . The walls were also made of red marble , while the gold traceries continued up to criss - cross on the high , vaulted ceiling . One wall had a bank of storage lockers for the belongings of Senators and guests . The lockers were equipped with hand print locks for security . The entrance to the Senate Chamber was guarded at all times by at least two stormtroopers , although up to a dozen troopers could be assigned there if disruption of the Senate ' s proceedings was considered likely . Repulsor - equipped weapons scanners insured the security of all individuals within the Chamber . Both the tram station and Senate Chamber entrances were guarded by a pair of door wardens dressed in the violet doublets worn by the Bakuran Honor Guard . A thick wooden door closed off the entrance to the Senate Chamber . The Greenwall . The Greenwell extended throughout every level of the complex , running from ground level to the roof . From the air , it appeared rather like a " slice " carved through the center of the building . The Greenwell was a large arboretum lined with tall fern trees and " passion - bud " vines that were native to Bakura . A large central fountain was located in a grassy clearing . Water leapt from over 100 sonic motivator s in gravity - defying whirls and eddies , spraying decoratively into the air . Paths through the Greenwell were marked out in a deep green moss that was highly resistant to damage , making for an excellent natural walkway . A few small avian specimens were kept in The Greenwell , enhancing the natural beauty of the chamber with bird song . The main entrance to the Greenwell connected with the Statuary Park , although The Greenwell could be accessed by every level of the complex via repulsorlift drop and lift shafts that gently lowered visitors to the ground . A smaller , secondary greenwell lay towards the northern end of the building . While not as large or elaborate as the Greenwell , this second arboretum offered more privacy and was a favorite of Bakur complex workers seeking some quiet during lunch periods . Rooftop . The rooftop was covered with huge vine - trees . A repulsor tram had a rectangular route around the building , shuttling workers and Senators around the complex ' s wings . The rooftop landing port could handle ships and airspeeders up to 100 meters in length . A small parking area stored speeders for visitors and senators , while a lift went down to a small airspeeder hangar storing Bakuran government speeders . A large garden was located on the roof as well , though it was not as well - maintained as the Greenwell ; the Imperial government did not place as high a priority on the survival of the trees and small creatures housed on the roof as it did on maintaining a functioning landing pad .
