Senate Guard internal affairs department

The internal affairs department of the Senate Guard of the Galactic Republic's Senate was responsible for investigating and rooting out corruption within the Senate Guard service.

Guards worked to protect senators from external threats such as assassinations but also from internal threats such as the bribery of senators which Guards had to report to their superiors. As time went on, the Senate Guard became a legacy system with several generations entering the service. Especially in the waning days of the Republic, the legacy system allowed corruption to breed such as senators paying their Guards to look the other way on criminal acts.
