The Republic senate, where each and every planet gets 2 Representatives. Now, to keep this formal, if anyone wants to speak they must press a button and wait their turn. A posting order will be established at that time to keep order.
Information
A massive building boasting a diameter of more than two kilometers and several hundred meters tall, with a shield-shaped dome mounted on a narrower drum-shaped body, the Senate Rotunda was built some time after 4,000 BBY, possibly due to the older Senate building being damaged during the Great Sith War.
Located in the heart of the Senate District, the building was situated at the end of a large, flat concourse known as the Avenue of the Core Founders. This area was lined with tall, thin humanoid statues, each representing a founder from each of the habitable Core worlds. At the end of the concourse was one of the ceremonial entrances, the Great Door. It was adorned with the Great Seal of the Republic and the sigils of the Thousand Worlds, which were members of the Senate. Directly inside the Great Door was the Atrium of the Senate. This was a grand entry hall, that was lined with statues of the Republic's greatest heroes and politicans.
The Grand Convocation Chamber
The majority of the building was dedicated to the Grand Convocation Chamber, a large round room over a hundred meters tall, filled with floating repulsorpods and dominated in the center by a podium used by the Supreme Chancellor, the Vice Chair and the Senior Administrative Aide to coordinate the sessions. The chamber contained a total of 1024 repulsor pods, one for each Senator. When a Senator wanted to speak, their pod would detach from the wall and move towards the center of the chamber so that all the Senators could see it. Underneath the Grand Convocation Chamber was the Chancellor's holding office, which was a preparations area used by the Chancellor to prepare to address the Senate and entertain guests. When not in use, the Supreme Chancellor's Podium would rest in this space. When he wished to address the Senate when it was in session, the podium, mounted on a large hydraulic pillar, would rise up through the retractable ceiling of the office and into the Senate Chambers. The Podium contained controls that were used to coordinate the movement of the Senate's repulsorpods. The Chamber was ringed with the Grand Concourse, where the Senate Guards stood guard at every repulsorpod entrance to protect the Senators seated there.
Many mall enhancements were made inside the chamber to increase the comfort of the Senators in attendance. On the ceiling of the chamber, great viewscreens were installed to allow the congregation to view up close visuals of the being speaking. Because sessions tended to grow long and last into the night, natural light and air was not used to fill the room. Instead, an artificial glow kept the room lit so as to diminish the senators' sense of time.
Accessed by the Grand Concourse were the offices of each senatorial delegation. Each delegation was given large amounts of office banks that could be customized to more closely resemble the native environment of the specific Senator's home planet. The Senate's communications were handled by the Senate Communications Center. The building itself was protected by an automated defense perimeter.
