The Esselian Hall, also known as the Esselian parliament, was the governing body of the planet Esseles following the Clone Wars. It was led by a President. During the time of the Galactic Civil War, Cambira Ralle served as president, although much power was lost to Imperial Governor Griff Takel. Political factions of the Hall included the Forad, Cardean, and Esselian New Order Parties. Following the election of 2 ABY, the Forad Party lost its grip on the majority, with the Esselian New Order Party making major inroads.
