Category:Strategic War Council

The Strategic War Council (or SWC) was a joint committie between the Republic Armed Forces of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order. Founded during the middle of the Great Galactic War, the SWC emphasized closer co-operation between the Republic military and Jedi in co-ordinating offensives against the Sith Empire.

When the Empire invaded Coruscant and subsequently destroyed the Jedi Temple and held the Senate hostage, the majority of its members were killed. As a result, and following the Treaty of Coruscant, was disbanded for 17 years. When war restarted again, the SWC was reinstated and several members of the Republic Army and Jedi Order were appointed to the council to aid in their fight against the Sith Empire.

With the sudden appearance of the Eternal Empire, the SWC tried and failed to stem the offensive of this new enemy. As a result, when the Empire conquered both the Republic and Sith Empire, the SWC was disbanded once again, this time permenantly. The status of the members remain unknown.

Structure
The Strategic War Council operated separately from the Republic military, Jedi Order and the Senate. Consisting of the the brightest strategists, senior figures, war veterans and heroes, the role of the SWC was to: and The SWC met on a weekly basis to discuss reports gathered from various battlefronts. It was not neccessary to congregate on a single planet; rather, some would convene from far away worlds (for example, a member of the SWC would be needed on a battlefront, and so would appear via hologram). At the end of each meeting, the Grand Master and Supreme Commander would report directly to their superiors to discuss possible campaign plans. When the SWC was originally founded, its roles were limited, with only providing advice on how to manuver and prosecute a campaign, and to help with easing supply line congestion. With the breaking of the Treaty of Coruscant, and following the reinstatement of the SWC, its role was largely expanded, with it being able to co-ordinate campaigns in the galaxy, be it the Core to the Outer Rim, though such plans would have to be put before the Supreme Chanellor, the Senate and the Jedi Order before such actions could be taken.
