The Commission for the Protection of the Republic (COMPOR) was a populist movement that existed during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. Formed in a time of conflict across the galaxy, COMPOR was responsible for promoting wartime propaganda to support the Republic during the Clone Wars. By the end of the war, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine transformed the Republic into the First Galactic Empire, consequently leading to COMPOR's reorganization as the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR).
