The Dug Council, which is also called the Malastarian council, functioned as the governing organization for the planet Malastare, representing the Dug species. This council was comprised of a set amount of representatives from each of the tribal nations, and it was led by a doge. The Imperial palace, a cone-shaped structure offering a view of a deforested area where fuel processing plants were located, served as the Dug Council's headquarters on the planetary surface. During the period of the Clone Wars, Nakha Urus held the position of Doge, presiding over the Council's activities.
