Honor Guard

An Honor Guard was a type of guard in the Galactic Republic's Senate Guard. They were equipped with a variant of the standard blue Senate Guard armor, distinctive black ceremonial cloaks and DC-15A blaster rifles.
In 21 BBY, a minimum of sixteen Honor Guards were present at the funeral of Senator Onaconda Farr on the planet Coruscant. After a eulogy by Farr's aide, Silood, at least eight Honor Guards conducted a present arms salute as the casket was being brought aboard a Republic frigate. Following the ceremony, an Honor Guard approached Senator Padmé Amidala and Junior Representative Lolo Purs and informed them that Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine had summoned them to his chambers.

Honor Guards first appeared without identification in "Senate Murders," a 2010 episode of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars second season.Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Episode Guide The episode was written by Drew Z. Greenberg and Brian Larsen. The guards were identified in the accompanying episode guide on StarWars.com.
The caped variation of the Senate Guards was only first animated for "Senate Murders" since by the time of the Senate Guard's first appearance in The Clone Wars first season it had been too costly to simulate and animate the capes.
