- ―Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, governor of the Outer Rim Territories
Governor was a political title used by high-ranking leaders of political territories, including planets, moons, and galactic regions.[15]
History[]
In the late Republic Era, Tok was a human who served as a governor for the Galactic Republic.[16] However, Tok actually served as an undercover agent for Count Dooku, who planned to destabilize the Republic.[17] In their governorship capacity, Tok worked to establish a peace[16] between the actively warring[18] Nautolan and Anselmi peoples.[16] In truth, however, Tok was tasked by Dooku with ensuring the war[17] continued to rage[18] so as to hurt the Republic.[17] Sio Bibble was governor of Naboo during the last days of the Republic.[19]
In the Galactic Empire, governors held regional power under the Imperial regime[14] and assumed control over entire star systems, often in the name of stealing their resource wealth.[20] Sector governors were known as Moffs.[15] An Imperial governor could wear a standard Imperial uniform, in the case of Arihnda Pryce,[21] or a white outfit, as donned by Ubrik Adelhard.[11] Imperial governors also wore rank insignia plaques consisting of six blue squares over three red and three yellow.[11][21] Wilhuff Tarkin was governor of the Outer Rim Territories[4] under his rank of Grand Moff.[15] Beyond the term governor referring to his actual power over the Rim,[4] he continued to be widely known as "Governor" as a honorific title.[15] By 2 BBY,[22] Gar Saxon was the Imperial Viceroy and Governor of Mandalore[23] of his clan,[9] a planet under occupation of the Galactic Empire at the time.[24]

- ↑ 21.0 21.1 Star Wars Rebels: Steps Into Shadow
- ↑ Dawn of Rebellion dates the events of Star Wars Rebels: Steps Into Shadow seventeen years after the end of the Clone Wars, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY; therefore, the events of Steps Into Shadow must take place in 2 BBY. According to Star Wars: On the Front Lines, Mon Mothma's denunciation of the Galactic Empire and the Declaration of the Rebel Alliance take place 2 years before the Battle of Yavin or 2 BBY. As "Imperial Supercommandos" is set between Steps Into Shadow and "Secret Cargo," the events of the episode must also take place in 2 BBY.
