Grand Moff

Grand Moff was a political and military title in the hierarchy of the Galactic Empire. Grand Moff was first given to the regional governors of oversectors, also called Priority Sectors, were locations that were of special interest, such as Coruscant and the Death Star. The title was carried over by the Council of Moffs, where a holder served as the de jure highest official of the Imperial Remnant, a successor to the Galactic Empire.

The system itself predates the Galactic Empire, with Odile Vaiken was the first to be made Grand Moff under the Sith Empire, while Wilhuff Tarkin was the first Grand Moff of the later regime, and held authority over multiple Priority Sectors.
