The Steering Committee, an advisory group within Damask Holdings, was comprised of hand-picked politicians and financiers from various organizations and worlds, notably Sestina, the Bank of the Core, leading members of the Order of the Canted Circle, the Trade Federation Directorate, and figures like Narro Sienar along with other ship design experts. This committee convened regularly on the moon of Sojourn, with the aims of expediting corporate-aligned laws, manipulating the prices of resources like Tibanna gas and transparisteel, and influencing senators operating within the Galactic Republic's capital on Coruscant. In 52 BBY, its members were killed during an attack carried out by Maladian assassins at the Lodge of the Order of the Canted Circle.
James Luceno's Darth Plagueis novel, published in 2012, featured the steering committee.
