The Chancellery Secretariat comprised a set of rooms belonging to the Galactic Republic's Office of the Chancellor. These rooms were situated below the Galactic Senate Chamber inside the Senate Building in the Federal District on the planet Coruscant. Within the Secretariat was the Chancellor's "working office", which in turn contained the Chancellor's Podium. Although ostensibly the work location for the Supreme Chancellor, the last Chancellor of the Republic, Sheev Palpatine, actually conducted his business from his formal office suite located within the Senate Office Building.
