Sim Aloo

Sim Aloo was a human male businessman and bureaucrat who served as one of several advisers in Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine's inner circle during the Galactic Civil War. Once the owner of the Aloo family farm on Noomis Riga, Sim Aloo greedily engineered the industrialization of his homeworld, using tactics ranging from deceit to outright murder to supplant his neighboring farmsteads during the Clone Wars, fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Using the battle on Noomis Riga to his advantage, Aloo claimed his neighbors were Confederate sympathizers, guaranteeing their destruction and allowing him to take over their lands. Aloo was decorated for his assistance to the Republic Military, and, when the Republic transformed into the Galactic Empire at the end of the war, he sold his vast holdings on Noomis Riga to the Imperial Agriculture Ministry.

Working his way up the ranks of the ministry, Aloo relocated to the Imperial capital of Coruscant and had a daughter, Alinka, through his second marriage, all the while further depopulating Noomis Riga to reap the benefits of his mass industrialization. His rise in status continued with his addition to the Imperial Ruling Council, where he entered Emperor Palpatine's inner circle. As one of Palpatine's advisers, Aloo took charge of the day-to-day governance of the Empire, as well as duties from Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, to locate Sith artifacts across the galaxy alongside his daughter, whom he planned to elevate to a position of prominence. Late in the Galactic Civil War, Aloo and his fellow advisers joined Palpatine on the second Death Star to oversee its construction before the Battle of Endor, but Aloo and his peers were killed when the Alliance to Restore the Republic destroyed the battle station.
