First Order Supreme Council

The First Order Supreme Council, also known as the First Order High Council, was a deliberative body of twelve high-ranking military officials in the First Order. It was created by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, who usurped the title from his master, Supreme Leader Snoke, to create a plan for the future of the galaxy as ruled by the First Order. The officers who composed the Supreme Council were Allegiant General Enric Pryde, Admiral Frantis Griss, General Amret Engell, General Armitage Hux, General Bellava Parnadee, General Domaric Quinn and Lieutenant Draper. The Supreme Council's closest aides had direct access to the highest levels of authority in the First Order, including the Supreme Leader.

The Supreme Council was unsettled by Ren's command style, which remained reactive despite his growing responsibility and maturity. His complete submission to the dark side of the Force as well as his pursuit of power and answers concerning the return of Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious did nothing to alleviate the Supreme Council's concerns. However, their confidence in the Supreme Leader was bolstered by his return from the Unknown Regions along with the promise of new warships and soldiers, making it possible for the First Order to rule over the galaxy as a true Empire.

During the war between the First Order and the Resistance, General Quinn was killed by Ren for questioning his alliance with the Sith Eternal cultists. General Hux was executed for treason by Allegiant General Pryde, who deduced that Hux was a spy for the Resistance. After Ren turned back to the light side of the Force, Pryde assumed control of the First Order and pledged fealty to Sidious. The Resurgent-class Star Destroyer, the Steadfast, was destroyed by the Resistance at the Battle of Exegol, killing Pryde and Admiral Griss in 35 ABY.
