Joint Chiefs

"Still hunting down General Grievous’s former allies. And you?''" "''Pacification. Brought back to attend a Joint Chiefs meeting."

- Nils Tenant and Wilhuff Tarkin

The Joint Chiefs of the Galactic Empire were members of the executive group that advised the Emperor on all martial related matters. The cabinet was composed of the chiefs of the Imperial Army and Navy, and they were known to work closely with ministers of the Imperial Security Bureau and Naval Intelligence.

In the sixth year of Emperor Palpatine's reign, the leading members of the organization were General Cassio Tagge, Admiral Conan Antonio Motti, Rear Admirals Kendel Ozzel and Tiaan Jerjerrod, as well as several top officers from the COMPNOR. Following the shakeups in the Imperial military, they were joined by Admiral Nils Tenant. By the nineteenth year of Palpatine's reign, the Joint Chiefs were headquartered on the Death Star and so the majority were killed when it was destroyed. General Tagge, the sole survivor, was promoted to the rank of Grand General and appointed supreme commander of the military.
