Phillip Santhe

"Mother - wait for just a minute..."

- Philip to his mother Lady Santhe

Philip Santhe was a member of the Santhe family that controlled the Santhe Corporation and its subsidiaries Santhe/Sienar Technologies and Santhe Security. During the period that followed the Battle of Yavin Philip was the only surviving child of Lady Valles Santhe who was the head of the family. His sibling perished during outbreaks of anti-Imperial violence on Lianna. As the only surviving son of Lady Santhe, Philip is the heir to the considerable Santhe fortune.

He was a supporter of the Empire believing a man such as Palpatine was required to restore order. Philip was resentful of his mother for pushing him around and for not relinquishing control of the family company. He was an engineer and was heavily involved in the NOVA Project, an imperial contract to improve a key component of a cloaking device. He hoped that sucessful completion of this project would hasen his mothers retirement.

Philip was a cold and calculating person who was able to manipulate most people except for Lady Santhe. He was not particularly intelligent and had a tendency to complain and whine. He was intimidated by the Imperial, Lord Rodin Hlian Verpalion who was assigned to oversee the NOVA Project.

He was the father of Kashan Santhe.
