Counselor to the Empire

"As I am the adviser to this group and to the Empire at large, I shall take for myself the title of Counselor to the Empire, serving as an interstitial leader only until Grand Admiral Sloane returns to us."

- Gallius Rax, to the members of the Shadow Council

Counselor to the Empire was the title of the de facto leader of the Galactic Empire at large, self-proclaimed by Gallius Rax shortly after the Liberation Day attacks. Rax took upon the unprecedented title during a meeting of the Shadow Council, a council he envisioned to govern the shattered Empire from behind the scenes. Rejecting the titles of Emperor and Grand Admiral, Rax claimed that his title was expected to be temporary, and only to advise the Council until the return of Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, public figurehead of the Empire at large.
