The local councils known as the P'Dar'Ib held dominion over the individual o'bekis on the planet Goroth Prime. During the era of the Galactic Civil War and the reign of the Empire, these councils were obligated to adhere to the commands issued by the Imperial Regional Prefect stationed there. Nonetheless, in the public eye, the P'Dar'Ib was portrayed as the primary governing entity, with the Prefect merely offering guidance.
