Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Dorian Janarus was a human male who was served as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic during a period when the Sith reigned over the galaxy. He replaced the interim chancellor Paran Am-Ris after being unanimously elected by the Galactic Senate.

Over time, his support base began to diminish due to the costs of rebuilding, while his military advisers grew increasingly frustrated with his refusal to take sterner action to stamp out sedition within the Republic. However, Janarus was a believer in the Republic's core values and initiatives. Janarus also faced the threat of the Rift Alliance, a grouping of vital and powerful worlds that threatened to permanently sever all ties with the Republic.

After Janarus's death, an emergency session of the Senate was convened, and he was replaced by Governor Leontyne Saresh of Taris.
