Imperial Advisor

Legends Canon version → Linked from 115 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Imperial Advisors, sometimes referred to as the Council of Advisors, were a group of several hundred high ranking political bureaucrats of the Galactic Empire. Emperor Palpatine appointed these senior functionaries from hundreds of different worlds, to assist him in running the Empire. The Emperor only consulted with a dozen of them at a time. Only a few handful of advisors were appointed to the Imperial Ruling Council. All advisors were elite members of the Imperial Court.

Each advisor was assigned to gather information about a rival advisor's home system, which discouraged them from forming secret alliances. This method of fear and greed served to bind each advisor to the Emperor. In addition, Imperial Advisors would perform administrative tasks and duties, such as appoint Imperial Governors, Moffs, and other servants of the Galactic Empire as designated by the Emperor. It was Imperial Advisor Ars Dangor who officially appointed Moff Wilhuff Tarkin to the rank of Grand Moff.
