The Systems Confederation Council was the executive branch of the Galactic Systems Confederation. It's role as the highest authority within the Galactic Confederation restricted power being centred on a single being, instead spreading it between those the senate have voted into their positions. The leader is the Chancellor, a title revived from the Old Republic, which despite initial intentions, is able to influence decisions of all members of the Council; this giving the Council a strong leader, especially in times of crisis.
