The world of Tholoth, a part of the Colonies region in the galaxy, along with its people the Tholothians, had a government that existed throughout the time of the Republic Era and then the Imperial Era. As a member of the Galactic Republic, its democratic government was closely aligned with both the Republic and the Jedi Order; however, during the Galactic Empire's control of Tholoth, it was under close supervision. A leading executive chair and a legislative senate were the heads of the planetary government.
