The Petition of 2000 represents a written request created towards the conclusion of the Clone Wars. It was composed by a collection of senators and various political figures, known as the "Delegation of 2000", and was directed to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. This Petition argued that, with the war drawing to a close, Palpatine ought to relinquish the special emergency powers he had taken on since the conclusion of the Separatist Crisis, a prospect that Anakin Skywalker understood would be impossible with Palpatine in power. Furthermore, it explicitly condemned the revived position of Moff, asserting that it would render the Senate virtually impotent.
Following the Galactic Republic's conversion into the Galactic Empire, a significant number of senators chose to withdraw their endorsements from the petition.
