Sly Moore

Sly Moore, also known as "the Umbaran," was an Umbaran female Force Adept who served as the Senior Administrative Aide and Chief of Staff for Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine during the final years of the Galactic Republic. Having the ability to manipulate the minds of others, Moore was one of the few people who knew Palpatine's true identity as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, and she stood by his side along with Vice Chair Mas Amedda when the former ended the Clone Wars and declared a Proclamation of the New Order, anointing himself the title of Galactic Emperor.

During the Imperial era, Moore served the Empire both as a member of the Grand Vizier's office and as a close confidante of the Emperor and Sith Lord. In the years following the Battle of Yavin, Moore oversaw the Sith Assassin Ochi of Bestoon during his hunt for Darth Vader, the Emperor's Sith apprentice, and conspired to kill him alongside droid IG-88B, though their attempts failed. When confronted by a furious Vader, Moore made a deal with him in which, if she retrieved Han Solo, who was currently on auction, Vader would not inform the Emperor of her attempted assassination. Though she failed to retrieve Solo, she was not killed for her actions and instead became a pawn of Sabé, the former handmaiden of Padmé Amidala.

Moore would then work with Palpatine to create the Schism Imperial, a supposed breakaway faction of the Empire that sought to rid the Empire of the Emperor. In truth, however, it existed as part of a plan to remind Vader of his service to Sidious. Moore would come to recruit Vader and would recruit more members, gathering more strength, resources, and weapons. Moore would later go on to help Vader in invading the planet of Exegol, Sidious's contingency, to get a massive kyber crystal.
