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.
