The Dac Council, sometimes known as Mon Calamari Council or Calamarian Council, was the governing body on the planet Dac, composed by both Mon Calamari and Quarren.
After the rise of the Separatist Movement, Count Dooku visited Mon Calamari because of their shipyard. Judging them to be advanced, Dooku offered the world to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but the Council formally rejected his offer. Dooku decided to neutralize this potential threat, and allied himself with Tikkes to take the power from the Council.
During the Clone Wars, the Council was briefly overturned by the Quarren Isolation League. However, the Mon Tandoori Knights, with a little help from the Jedi Council, allowed the Calamarian Council to retain their power.
They could not, however, resist Emperor Palpatine, and became a part of the Galactic Empire soon after that. However, after the Battle of Yavin, the Council agreed to become a part of the Rebel Alliance.
They were fearing Imperial retribution, specially when Administrator Seegree disappeared. The Council feared that he had been kidnapped by Imperial forces, but joined a task force to locate him.
After the Battle of Endor and the reborn Emperor's attacks on their planet, one of the World Devastators, the Nullifier-5, sunk on the Algae Seaweed. The Council decided that salvaging it was too expensive, so it was only deactivated. However, a time after that, the Nullifier-5 began to suffer leaks and threatened to poison the Algae Sward, so the Council asked an independent team to solve this problem.
