Supreme governor

Supreme governor was a ceremonial title used by the government of Birren that was bestowed upon certain members of the Elder Houses through inheritance. The inauguration of the supreme governor was a lengthy process, involving multiple stages of rituals, such as the oil anointment by the wardens of the sanctum. The ceremony was concluded inside the Great Hall of Birren, where an Arbiter bestowed the intended governor with the symbolic tokens of leadership: a cloth-of-gold mantle and a scepter, to show that the governor would both shelter and defend their people.

Lord Mellowyn was the supreme governor of Birren up until twenty-four years after the formation of the New Republic, when he was succeeded by Lady Carise Sindian with permission from the intended successor, Princess Leia Organa. However, when Sindian broke the royal seal by exposing a private recording, revealing Sith Lord Darth Vader to be Organa's biological father, she was stripped of all royal titles, including supreme governor.
