Council of Moffs

The Council of Moffs is the governing body of the remaining loyal members of the Galactic Empire and later Imperial Remnant following the death of Emperor Palpatine.

It is comprised of one moff from each sector of the Empire (currently eight), and meets to decide matters of national or pan-Imperial importance. Each moff has one vote on the Council, and it appears that only a simple majority vote is needed to pass a resolution. The Council of Moffs, while technically the governing body of the Empire, is chaired by the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Forces.

The Council convenes at the behest of the Supreme Commander, or in order to debate, pass, or dissolve laws of inter-sector jurisdiction and taxation. Laws, regulations, in-sector taxation and the like are all handled by the moffs individually, with few known checks or balances to their authority inside their given sectors. Moffs also have authority over regional forces within their jurisdictions, known as Sector Fleets, which by the time of the Bastion Accords, are centered around a dozen or so Star Destroyers. On the national level, the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Forces commands the remainder of the Empire's military and naval assets through the regular chain of command in both the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army. In times of emergency, or at the Supreme Commander's discretion, the Sector Fleets that are normally answerable to the individual moffs can be commanded by the Supreme Commander.
