King

A king was the male head of a monarchic government. The female equivalent was the queen. Some planets, such as Naboo and Zeltros, were ruled by an elective monarchy. Others, like Mon Calamari, had a hereditary position. Some, such as the Godkings of Abonshee, were worshiped as gods. Several governments in the galaxy had kings.

"King of Mon Cala" was the title held by the ruler of the planet Mon Calamari. Yos Kolina was its eighty-second king, succeeded by his son, Lee-Char.

One of the leaders of the Zeltron species possessed the title of king.

The King of the Sith species was also known as the Sith'ari.

Before the establishment of a theocracy on Nazzri in 5002 BBY, the Nazzar were ruled by figure with the double title of Emperor-King. Thereafter the planetary ruler was merely entitled King.

Not all kings had absolute power. In some cases, they were the highest authority, while in others, such as the Blood Monarchs of Thisspias, it was Parliament who did most of the government running. In general, however, their authority and influence was superseded by those holding the title of Emperor or Empress.
