Year released: 2009-2010 Appears in set 8128-1, Cad Bane's Speeder; 8039-1, Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser The Senate Commandos was an elite military and law enforcement division of the Galactic Republic's Senate Guard, tasked with protecting the Galactic Senate and the Supreme Chancellor along with other high-value individuals. A highly regarded force consisting of the best and bravest members of the Guard, the commandos carried out secret missions on behalf of the government. They were also distinguished from the rest of the Guard by their armor, which was made to be more flexible and battle ready than the ornamental uniforms of their rank-and-file counterparts. During the Clone Wars, Captain Faro Argyus, an officer of the Senate Commandos, betrayed the Republic by assisting the Separatists with the rescue of Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray. By the end of the war, the Senate Guard was phased out and replaced by the Imperial Royal Guard of Emperor Palpatine. Looking for more LEGO® Star Wars sets, minifigures, animals and accessories?
