This page is about the ruler of the Galactic Empire. For other uses of the title, see Emperor (disambiguation).

The Emperor (also known as the Emperor of the Galaxy, Emperor of the Known Universe, or Galactic Emperor), is the Head of State of the Galactic Empire. The Emperor has absolute authority within his dominion and its subject states. Of the eleven individuals to hold the title, all but one began their career in the Imperial Navy, although a number had long since moved into other branches of the Galactic Empire.

There exists some scholarly disagreement about the order of succession of the early sovereigns. The official Imperial History records Vodo Bonias as the second emperor, governing between Drayson and Suntzu. However, a number of earlier sources — such as the respected Annals of the Emperors and the fragmented records of the Imperial Core War Library — record him as the third.

The present incumbent is Guinar Ndengin, a former member of the New Imperial Order separatist movement.

Known Emperors

A total of eleven men have reigned over the Galactic Empire twelve times:

  1. Emperor Hiram Drayson
  2. Emperor Suntzu
  3. Emperor Vodo Bonias (first reign)
  4. Emperor Spytek
  5. Emperor Piett
  6. Emperor Trey Connel
  7. Emperor Mccarthur
  8. Emperor J. Charon
  9. Emperor Greyson Uebles
  10. Emperor Vodo Bonias (second reign)
  11. Emperor Thomas Cherokee
  12. Emperor Guinar Ndengin

Separatist Movements

After the golden age of Emperor Piett's reign, a schism occurred in the Empire between the supporters of Emperor Trey Connel and Grand Admiral Gorn Veynom. Veynom departed for the Unknown Regions, but his supporters still refused to serve Connel. Dubbing themselves "the Imperial Core" and taking much Imperial equipment with them, the separatists formed their own government and proclaimed the absent Veynom as their Dark Emperor. However, Veynom never returned to lead the Core and the organization later united with the Sith Order to form "the Dark Empire." Vodo Bonias became Emperor of the Dark Empire.

During the second reign of Vodo Bonias, a split occurred between his supporters and a loose coalition comprised largely of enlisted personnel and former Charonists. The separatists left the Empire and formed "the New Imperial Order," although they refused to appoint an Emperor.

Tabulation

Below is a tabulation of the august emperors as well as their archival portraits, associated eras, and opposition groups. Charon is considered by some Imperial historians to be part of a dynastic triumvirate which began with Emperor Trey Connel and included Charon's predecessor, Mccarthur. This triumvirate dominated galactic politics for three years — from Year 1 Day 212 to Year 4 Day 133 — and was externally opposed by separatist warlords such as Grand Admiral Gorn Veynom, Dark Jedi Master Vodo Bonias, and Count Greyson Uebles. The ascension of Thomas Cherokee as emperor circa Year 11 inaugurated a subsequent era of sovereigns formerly affiliated with the New Imperial Order.
