The Policy and Resources Council, also known as P and R, functioned as a council within the structure of the Galactic Alliance Senate. This council was responsible for the enactment of an amendment, specifically designated as Item 357, which, in a clandestine manner, granted Jacen Solo expanded authority to modify laws independently, bypassing the Senate's required consent. This ultimately led to the establishment of a triumvirate. On the specified date, a substantial number of 563 modifications were put forward, with examples including both Item 24 and Item 358.
