The power of sectorial senators is immense, as they control access to the Senate for hundreds of planets. The temptations that go with such power are equally great. Corrupt senators are no longer unusual, even at the highest level, and few Republic citizens expect anything but empty promises and word games from anyone who sets foot on Coruscant. In truth, many senators are simply lazy and greedy, but by doing nothing to stop the spread of evil they become some of its greatest supporters.
