Palpatine family

An influential family from the planet of Naboo counted among its members Sheev Palpatine, a Dark Lord of the Sith who manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was made Supreme Chancellor, and eventually Galactic Emperor. When Palpatine was apparently killed aboard the second Death Star in 4 ABY, it was believed that he had no living relatives, and consequently there was no clear chain of succession. He had, however, begotten a son, who ended up producing a daughter himself, Rey.
