Imperial Inner Circle

The Imperial Inner Circle was the most powerful entity in the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War. While Palpatine was Emperor, it was the Inner Circle that managed the Empire and carried out his will. Sate Pestage was Grand Vizier and arguably the most important member. Other members of the Inner Circle include Sim Aloo, Kren Blista-Vanee, and Janus Greejatus. All were sycophantic men wielding immense power. Most were killed on the second Death Star, where they accompanied Palpatine prior to the Battle of Endor.

Darth Vader was not a member of the Inner Circle, as he held a unique position in the Empire as Supreme Military Commander and Dark Lord of the Sith. The members of the Inner Circle were not Sithand did not use the Force.
