Theocracy

Theocracy was a system of government run by religious leaders and based on religious fundamentals. The planet Nazzri, home to the Nazzar species, was ruled by a theocratic oligarchy during the time leading up to the Great Sith War. The Yuuzhan Vong empire was a theocracy.

Those involved in the Anti-Sith conspiracy saw the Galactic Empire as a Sith theocracy beneath Palpatine and Darth Vader. Later, during Operation Shadow Hand, the cloned Palpatine intended to turn the Empire into a dark-side theocracy in fact.
