Something Wicked This Way Comes: Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic

The Supreme Chancellor, his official family, and the Loyalist Committee gather for a press conference some time between the formation of the
Committee on 13:3:28 (“Palpatine forms Loyalist Committee,” HoloNet News Vol. 531, No. 49) and 13:4:4 (“Senator Moe Killed in Blast,” HoloNet
News Vol. 531, No. 50). This is the second picture in the series.

At the far left in the front row is (1.) a Red Guardsman, as they appear in
Attack of the Clones, standing next to (2.) Speaker of the Senate Mas Amedda
(
op. cit.), flanking (3.) Palpatine of Naboo, Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic (op. cit.). Standing to Palpatine’s left is (4.) Tannon Praji, First
Minister of Ingress of Coruscant (and majority shareholder of Palpatine’s pet Bank of the Core), as he appears in
Revenge of the Sith. Just over Praji’s
shoulder is (5.) Sly Moore, Assistant to the Supreme Chancellor and Chief of Staff, as she appears in both
Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
To her left is (6.)
Janus Greejatus, an advisor to Palpatine, wearing the advisor’s garb displayed by Sate Pestage in “Reversal of Fortune,” and (7.) a
second Red Guardsman.

In the second row, starting just behind Greejatus, is (8.) Master Jedi Ronhar Kim, a close friend of Palpatine’s dating from the very beginning of his term
as Galactic Senator for Naboo, as he appears in “Bloodlines” (
Republic No. 64), standing next to (9.) Armand Isard, Director, Senate Bureau of
Intelligence, and the leader of the Ubiqtorate secret society controlling the Republic’s intelligence community, as he appears in “Reversal of Fortune”
(colors approximated). Next to Isard, standing just over Palpatine’s shoulder, is (10.) Sate Pestage, Assistant to the Supreme Chancellor and Senior
Advisor to the Supreme Chancellor, his alter ego, as he appears in “Reversal of Fortune.” On the other side of Palpatine’s head is (11.) Senator Orn Free
Taa (Ryloth), the leader of the Mid-Rim
tertium quid that got Palpatine elected in 3 rS, as he appears in “Palpatine forms Loyalist Committee.” On the
other side of Amedda’s head is (12.) Senator Aks Moe (Malastare), one of the foremost “Sand Panthers” and free-marketeers in the Senate (he would be
assassinated on Aargau shortly after this press conference), as he appears in “Palpatine forms Loyalist Committee.” Just below Moe is (13.) Senator
Onaconda Farr (Rodia), one of the most vociferous of the Sand Panthers and a bitter critic of Palpatine’s administration, as he appears in
Attack of the
Clones
(he was not a member of the Loyalist Committee at this time, but was subsequently appointed on 13:4:9 after presenting evidence of Separatist
influence within the Republic).

Directly behind Moe is (14.) Senator Ister Paddie (Sermeria), a nobleman from the Expansion Region, as he appears in
Attack of the Clones, standing next
to (15.) Senator Padmé Naberrie, Lady Amidala (Naboo), Palpatine’s former queen and one of his closest allies in the Senate (
op. cit.), (16.) Senator Lexi
Dio (Uyter), who was assassinated during the Clone War (
op. cit.), (17.) Senator Ronet Coorr (Iseno), who together with Farr would be disgraced for
mismanagement of fleet assets during the Clone War (
op. cit.), (18.) Senator Prince Bail Prestor of Organa, Prince Consort of Alderaan (Alderaan), leader
of the powerful conservative voting bloc in the Core Worlds (
op. cit.), (19.) Sim Aloo, an advisor to Palpatine, as he appears in Return of the Jedi, (20.)
“Commander” Terrinald Screed, Judicial Department, one of Palpatine’s clients and apparently the head of the Republican Guard, as he appears in
“Point/Counterpoint: Military Creation Act” (HoloNet News Vol. 531, No. 47), (21.) Dar Wac, Executive Administrator of the Office of the Supreme
Chancellor, as he appears in
Attack of the Clones, (22.) Ars Dangor, Assistant to the Supreme Chancellor, wearing the advisor’s garb displayed by
Pestage in “Reversal of Fortune,” and finally (23.)
Kinman Doriana, Assistant to the Supreme Chancellor, ostensibly Darth Sidious’s agent-in-place
among Palpatine’s official family, as he appears in “Hero of Cartao: Hero’s Call” (Star Wars
Insider No. 68).
