Topic: The Moffs


In the News (Mon 13 Oct 08)

  
  Galactic Empire (Star Wars) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Below the Emperor, real power was in the hands of Moffs such as Tarkin, and the regional governors.
A Council of Moffs was established to more efficiently govern individual sectors and regions of the Empire.
Much power was sent into the hands of the regional moffs and governors, in contrast to the Republic's structure, which had no intermediary between low-level planetary affairs and those of the Senate.

 Gilad Pellaeon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sometime later, the Moffs elevated him again, to the rank of Grand Admiral.
As the highest military authority in the Empire, he was a chief advisor to the Moffs, the governing body of the remaining Empire.
In addition, there is a lingering question regarding whether or not Pellaeon may have sired a family out of wedlock, as it has been intimated that the late Commander Mynar Devis may have been Pellaeon's son.

Often the past Govenor's of worlds Moffs are the highest ranking officers in the Empire and have complete authority over any troops or officers in their domain.
Moffs tend to pursue a more govemental role in the Empire in making sure the laws and regulations of the Empire are upheld in their domain.
A Grand Moff is much the same as a regular Moff accept that they have entire authority over a portion of the galaxy and other Moffs.

Drawn from the upper crust of the Imperial military, the Moffs are appointed by the Emperor to oversee entire sectors, as once the Republic Senators did.
The Moff is expected to use this ship to police his sector but not to pursue frivolous personal missions.
In cases where the former Moff is particularly well defended, the Emperor may even send one of his personal assassins to eliminate the Moff and ensure that any resources or personnel the Moff appropriated are returned to the Emperor’s control.

Aran was quite surprised by the young boy's abilities to invade the guards like that, and also he had time to create such confusion in one of the most well secured prison facilities on Coruscant.
The Grand Moffs liked him, because Skillgannon was a cold and unforgiving person, than any of the other Immortal's agents.
So the Grand Moffs gave Skillgannon the command of the Immortals and a new installation in the Outer Rim world of Shinra VII, so that Skillgannon could train the Immortals to be feared again.

The majority of the college of Moffs is employed in the colonial administration as Sector Governors, Regional Governors, and Oversector Governors, administering the government of the Galactic Empire's Sectors, Regions, and Oversectors (see "Rattling the Saber" for further discussion of the nature of these echelons and their relationships with the Imperial Armed Forces).
Subordinate to the Moff Governor of each Sector are the governors, who directly administer the Galactic Empire's vast collection of colonies, territories, and protectorates; governors are civilian agents of the Imperial State and do not have operational control of Naval forces operating within their jurisdictions, according to the Imperial Sourcebook, Second Edition.
Furthermore, there is the known tendency of Moff Governors to rule as virtual dictators, rivaling one another and quite likely even waging quiet war on one another; "Soldiers of the Empire!" (Galaxy Publications, 1978) indicates that it was quite common for Imperial leaders to use their elite Imperial Guards units to assassinate other leaders.

The Council has been dissolved and it is said a single man has claimed the reins of the Imperial Remnant for himself.
