Imperial Prefect

The Imperial Prefect was the highest-ranking Imperial official on a planet not currently under the Empire's direct control.

The Prefect was the Emperor's liaison with the planetary government. Though it is unknown where the Prefect's exact placement was in the overall Imperial organization, Prefect Eugene Talmont wore the insignia of an admiral.

During 5 ABY, Mosh Barris worked on Garqi as an Imperial Prefect.

Most prefects were in charge of prefabricated garrison bases.

Behind the scenes
The term prefect comes from the Latin praefectus, which was the title of a magistrate appointed as governor of one of the Roman provinces, an example being Pontius Pilate.
