Advisor

An advisor, or adviser, was an individual who helped another individual—often a leader, such as a military officer, king, or an emperor—make decisions. On the planet Mon Cala, Mon Calamari Captain Gial Ackbar served as a military advisor to King Yos Kolina during the Clone Wars. After leaving the Jedi Order and no longer being part of the Grand Army of the Republic, former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano was unable to serve as the commander of a Republic division for the Siege of Mandalore. As such, Clone Captain Rex was made the leader of the unit, and Tano was dubbed an advisor. Clone Advisors were clone troopers who served in an advisor role, such as overseeing the actions of clone commando units.

Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine employed several bureaucrats throughout his reign that advised him on how to rule his galaxy-wide Empire. Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo served as a Chief Advisor to the Emperor concerning matters with the Unknown Regions. During the hunt for Crimson Dawn, the former Naboo Royal Handmaiden Sabé was made a Lieutenant Commander and advisor in the Imperial Military on the order of Darth Vader. Approximately four years after the Battle of Yavin, Gallius Rax proclaimed himself Counselor to the Empire, an unprecedented title tasked to act as an adviser to the shattered Empire.
