500 Republica stood as the most esteemed and select residential tower within the Senate District of Galactic City, situated on the planet of Coruscant. Within this building, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine possessed a sizable apartment suite on the higher floors, which he had equipped with concealed security and monitoring systems. During the Invasion of Naboo, Queen Padmé Amidala of Naboo resided in 500 Republica as a guest of Palpatine. For its wealthy and celebrated residents, 500 Republica provided exclusive turbolifts and security weaponry. Its design incorporated ascending steps, and it featured fifty-three skydocks capable of hosting sizable air taxis and private starships.
