Four Sages of Dwartii

The Four Sages of Dwartii – Sistros Nevet, Braata Danlos, Faya Rodemos, and Yanjon Zelmar – were a group of contentious philosophers and lawgivers from the early days of the modern Galactic Republic, who had great influence on its early constitution. Cowus Roont was remembered as the 'Fifth' Sage of Dwartii.

At some point, when the Sith dominated the galaxy, a number of statues representing the Four Sages were made. Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine kept statues of the Four Sages, coated in bronzium, in his office and chambers on the planet Coruscant. The statue of Sistros Nevet was made of neuranium and housed a hidden compartment where Palpatine hid his lightsabers. Vice Chair Mas Amedda had a statue of Sistros on the top of his Speaker's staff. When Palpatine became Galactic Emperor during the aftermath of the Clone Wars, he moved his base of operations to the former Jedi Temple, which he refashioned as the Imperial Palace, and took his statue of Sistros with him. By 34 ABY, statuettes of the Four Sages of Dwartii could be found in Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities, one of the many stores in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu.
