"There is a record in the New Republic archives on the briefing of the governing council on the first intelligence gathered from Wobani after the world had been abandoned by the Empire."
―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1]

The governing council was a body in the New Republic including senators such as Leia Organa. Agent Joris Vegen presented a briefing to them on what she had discovered on the prison planet Wobani after it was abandoned by the Galactic Empire. Once it became clear that emergency aid was needed, Organa contacted the Alderaan Flotilla to deliver a convoy of supplies.[1]
