The Security and Intelligence Council, which was also referred to as Palpatine's War Council or the Military Advisory Council, was a committee established within the Galactic Senate throughout the duration of the Clone Wars. Its composition included Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's most reliable confidants, although its roster was subject to frequent alterations. Prominent figures within the council were Senator Jannie Ha'Nook, in addition to Vice Chair Mas Amedda, Sate Pestage, Armand Isard, and Kohl Seerdon.
