Staff Aide

The Senior Administrative Aide was the head of the Supreme Chancellor's staff and the Chancellor's deputy in the Office of the Supreme Chancellor. The Senior Aide's duties included addressing the public on bhealf of the Chancellor, helping organize the Chancellor's schedules, meeting with other figures on behalf of the Chancellor, taking notes on the Chancellor's meetings, helping the Chancellor form policy, and the like.

The position was apparently held indefinitely, with one person having the capability to hold the office under successive Chancellors, but it was apparently customary for each Senior Aide to resing after a new Chancellor was elected, so /she could nominate a Senior Aide of their own.

The position of Senior Aide was prestigious enough that the Senior Aide could sit on the upper level of the central Senate pod with the Chancellor and Vice Chair during sessions of the Senate.

Seia Taria was the Senior Aide for the administration of Finis Valorum, retiring shortly after his replacement by Palpatine. Sly Moore held the position until at least the early days of the Galactic Empire. The continued existance of the position is unknown; it would seem that at some point it was replaced by that of the Grand Vizier.
