- "I am committed to the idea of a galaxy ruled by an enlightened leader, with laws that apply universally—not one set for the Core Worlds, another for the Outer Rim worlds."
"An autocracy, guided by the count of Serenno."
"I am ambitious, but not to that degree." - ―Count Dooku and Wilhuff Tarkin
Count of Serenno was a title held by Dooku[3] of House Serenno[1] as count of the planet Serenno, with his father Gora and his brother Ramil, who lost the title with the invasion of Serenno, having held the title previously.[1] During a dinner between the two of them, Wilhuff Tarkin once referred to Dooku by this title.[2] Dooku continued to hold the title until his death during the Battle of Coruscant.[4] The cape Dooku wore was the emblem of the Count of Serenno.[3] In 10 BBY, Chrodber served as the Count of Serenno and was present aboard the First Light, a yacht owned by Crimson Dawn crime lord Dryden Vos.[5]

As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas states that A New Hope begins in 0 BBY, the invasion of Serenno in Dooku: Jedi Lost, which includes Dooku's depature, Ramil's death, and Dooku becoming Count of Serenno, must have occurred in 42 BBY.
