'''Moff''', also known as '''Sector Moff'''<ref name="IHB">''[[Star Wars: Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide]]''</ref> was a [[Sector/Legends|sector]] [[Governor/Legends|governor]] rank in the [[Sith Empire/Legends|Sith Empire]], the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]] in its earliest and last days, and the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]]. Under the [[Fel Empire]] and [[Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire]], the title was also worn by the topmost officials of institutions such as the [[Imperial Navy/Legends|Navy]], [[Imperial Army/Legends|Army]] and [[Imperial Intelligence/Legends|Intelligence]].

==History==
===Origins===
[[File:Grand_Moff_Zellos.jpg|thumb|right|180px|[[Zellos]], Grand Moff of the Sith Empire during the [[Great Galactic War]].]]
The name Moff originates from the small, [[Pre-Republic era]] space empires from which the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]] emerged; the title was given to warlords of those empires who decided to join the Republic peacefully instead of fighting. As governors, those warlords ruled their territories, known collectively as the [[Allied Region]]s, ''de jure''. Eventually these were diminished to Republic [[Sector/Legends|sectors]], and the titles Moff and [[Grand Moff/Legends|Grand Moff]] were diminished to purely ceremonial.

The [[Sith Empire (Post–Great Hyperspace War)|Sith Empire]] following [[Great Hyperspace War/Legends|Great Hyperspace War]] instated the title of Grand Moff as a honorary title awarded in recognition of great contribution to the Empire. Its first Grand Moff was [[Odile Vaiken]]; others included [[Zellos]] and [[Rycus Kilran]].<ref>''[[Timeline 11: Rebirth of the Sith Empire]]''</ref>

The [[Ruusan Reformation]]s abolished the custom of rewarding the title of Moff in the Republic.<ref>''[[The Essential Atlas]]''</ref>

===Re-establishment===
The position was resurrected in the last years of the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]] when the [[Sector Governance Decree/Legends|Sector Governance Decree]] was promulgated by [[Supreme Chancellor/Legends|Supreme Chancellor]] [[Palpatine/Legends|Palpatine]] using his emergency powers, establishing both [[Planetary Governor/Legends|planetary]] as well as regional governors throughout [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]].

Though they were also referred to by the more generic style of Sector [[Governor/Legends|Governor]], the title of Moff was specifically chosen by Palpatine as a tribute to the [[Wikipedia:Satrap|satraps]] of those ancient small space empires; the decree thus pointed the way toward Palpatine's subsequent assumption of [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] power, which was explicitly presented as a revival of the glories and grandeur of ancient monarchies like [[Atrisia/Legends|Atrisia]]. Each Moff reported to an [[Imperial Advisor]], sending copies of his reports both to the Advisor and directly to Palpatine.

The initial Sector Governance Decree, however, was issued under the Republic, and caused immediate alarm in the [[Galactic Senate/Legends|Galactic Senate]], serving as the major catalyst for the [[Petition of 2000]]. Palpatine simply used this show of Senatorial opposition as a means to identify and remove his most dangerous opponents in the political elite, but the Senate's short-lived defiance, along with the magnitude of the tasks involved in ending the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]] and initiating the [[Great Jedi Purge/Legends|Great Jedi Purge]], may nonetheless have contributed to the delay in the appointment of the first Moffs, who did not take up office until several weeks after the [[Declaration of a New Order]] and the establishment of the Galactic Empire.

===In the Galactic Empire===
The concept of assigning Moffs to sectors related to the ancient division of the Republic into a thousand sectors, each with a Senator and a local congress; but the first Moffs seem to have been appointed to control rather larger territories than those for which the Senators were answerable: for instance, the Moff of [[Sector 3 (Imperial Priority Sector)|Sector 3]] was headquartered on [[Bimmisaari/Legends|Bimmisaari]] in [[Halla sector/Legends|Halla sector]], but his territory extended as far as [[Kashyyyk/Legends|Kashyyyk]] in [[Mytaranor sector/Legends|Mytaranor sector]]: these vast volumes of space may have corresponded to the theatres of operations of the twenty [[Sector Army/Legends|Sector Armies]] within the [[Grand Army of the Republic/Legends|Grand Army of the Republic]]. It appears that at this time, the newly reformed [[Imperial Navy/Legends|Imperial Navy]] was also placed under the authority of a Moff, one of the few senior officials to whom the command program of the [[dreadnaught]] ''[[Eye of Palpatine]]'' was answerable.

By the time that the Senate was dissolved in [[0 BBY/Legends|0 BBY]], Moffs had been assigned to most of the thousand historic sectors of known space, tightening the Empire's grip on the galaxy. However, a number of further modifications had been made to the system, most notably the creation of a cadre of higher-ranking '''[[Grand Moff/Legends|Grand Moffs]]''', governors-general of a new class of Priority Sectors, also known as [[Oversector/Legends|Oversectors]]. Proposed by Moff [[Wilhuff Tarkin/Legends|Wilhuff Tarkin]] of [[Seswenna sector/Legends|Seswenna sector]], these were areas of the galaxy in which [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel]] activity and unrest were proving more than the local Moff could handle, and within which the apparatus of control was strengthened by the diversion of vastly increased military, paramilitary and judicial resources. The best-known Priority Sectors were vast reaches of space, rather similar to the large sectors of early Imperial Moffs, in which a number of existing sectors with their local Moffs were now subordinated to a new Oversector command: [[Imperial Center Oversector]] incorporated most of the [[Core Worlds/Legends|Core]], while Tarkin's own [[Oversector Outer]] essentially incorporated the whole of the former [[Outland Regions]], and the [[Bright Jewel Oversector/Legends|Bright Jewel Oversector]] embraced another vast tract of the [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim Territories]].

[[File:Female_Moff_AoRCR.png|thumb|right|180px|A female Imperial Moff]]

However, not all Oversectors were created in this way. Sometimes, a Moff was simply promoted to Grand Moff and given additional resources to deal with the threats within his existing sector, and sometimes, a rash of troublesome areas across several adjacent sectors were removed from their Moffs' control and grouped in a new Priority Sector under a new Grand Moff. Occasionally, a single existing sector might be converted into an Oversector and subdivided into new sectors, as with the planned transformation of the [[Tapani sector/Legends|Tapani sector]] that was interrupted by the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]].

As well as the stratification introduced by the creation of Grand Moffs, further complexity was added to the organization of regional governors by the appointment of Moffs to control areas smaller than the historic sectors of the Old Republic: [[fortress world]]s like [[Prakith/Legends|Prakith]] had their own Moffs, and on [[Coruscant/Legends|Imperial Center]], even ministries of the planetary administration were incorporated as sectors in their own right, such as Planetary Security, commanded by Moff [[Kadir (Moff)|Kadir]].

Following the Battle of [[Endor/Legends|Endor]], few individual Moffs or Grand Moffs were sufficiently powerful to serve as major players in the civil war for control of the Empire. Control of the single most powerful [[Sector Fleet]], that of the [[Quelii Oversector]], was seized by its [[Imperial Navy/Legends|Navy]] [[Commander/Legends|commander]], [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Zsinj]]. Meanwhile, Tarkin's successor, Grand Moff [[Ardus Kaine]], held aloof from the conflict and concentrated on securing his control of his stronghold territory on the [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim]]. The first major move by the Moffs was the belated formation of a coalition of Priority Sector governors led by Grand Moff [[Bertroff Hissa|Hissa]], calling themselves the [[Central Committee of Grand Moffs]]; while they controlled the combined might of several Oversectors, they were conscious that to successfully win over other areas of the Empire, they required leadership and legitimacy outside of their own ranks.

Nevertheless, as the power of the central authorities diminished, the Moffs did gradually assume more prominence and more capacity for collective action. Late in [[8 ABY/Legends|8 ABY]], a number of Moffs joined the remnants of the [[Imperial Ruling Council/Legends|Imperial Ruling Council]] in endorsing [[Grand Admiral/Legends|Grand Admiral]] [[Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Legends|Thrawn]] as the new commander-in-chief of the Starfleet, and in [[10 ABY/Legends|10 ABY]], the Moffs and Grand Moffs collectively demanded the right to join the Ruling Council in electing a new Emperor. By [[12 ABY/Legends|12 ABY]], following the final implosion of what remained of the Ruling Council, a [[Council of Moffs/Legends|Council of Moffs]] had emerged as the primary executive power in what remained of the Empire.

===Remnant and reorganization===
[[File:Tavira1.png|thumb|left|150px|[[Leonia Tavira]], who seized her husband's sector after the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]], and briefly ruled as Moff]]

Against this background, a number of individual Moffs declared their independence, beginning soon after Endor with events like the secession of Grand Moff Kaine, and [[Leonia Tavira]]'s seizure of her husband's powers on [[Eiattu 6]]. Some were simply cut off from potential allies by Rebel advances, while some no doubt saw themselves as heroic saviors of their beloved subjects amid a general collapse of Galactic civilization. Others were loyal Imperials unwilling to become embroiled in the running conflict between the senior commanders and courtiers who claimed to lead the New Order, and in counterpoint, the Admirals and Advisors competing for control of the Empire were themselves unwilling to alienate the Moffs—or reveal the weak foundations of their own authority—by asking too much of them. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that personal ambition played a part in the fragmentation of the Empire. Men like governor [[Foga Brill/Legends|Foga Brill]] on Prakith in the [[Deep Core/Legends|Deep Core]] and Moff [[Tol Getelles]] of [[Antemeridian sector]] on the Outer Rim were not be able to conquer the galaxy, but they remained entrenched for many years behind the guns of Sector Fleets and the defenses of fortress worlds, as the lords of local despots. While most of these men maintained the fiction that they were merely local viceroys of a nebulous Imperial regime, and some even attempted to keep their sectors ignorant of the general collapse of the New Order, many indulged in displays of shameless self-aggrandizement, adopting grandiloquent new titles such as '''High Moff''', and most probably saw that in practice, their power depended on rewarding their beholden followers: Getelles, for instance, promoted his loyal Sector Fleet commander to Grand Admiral, while Foga Brill consolidated his grip on Prakith by building a new system of patronage, clientage and control from the ruins of his [[Planet/Legends|planet's]] economy.

Over the years after [[Endor/Legends|Endor]], the number of Moffs steadily declined, as the Empire was reduced by [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] advances and driven by internal conflicts. At the time of Endor, there were significantly more than a thousand Moffs, but barely three or four hundred can have remained five years later and in spite of brief periods of resurgence, by [[19 ABY/Legends|19 ABY]] the area of territory in what remained of unified [[Imperial Space]] was reduced to a mere eight sectors, while the last of the rogue Moffs were being steadily conquered and deposed by the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]].

In this situation, [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Gilad Pellaeon/Legends|Gilad Pellaeon]] was able to persuade the remaining Moffs that the survival of the New Order in the fragment of territory that remained to them was best secured by peace with the now-dominant Rebels, and subsequently, the eight remaining Moffs, along with the [[Supreme Commander (Empire)/Legends|Supreme Commander]], became the leaders of the [[Imperial Remnant]]. By now, the Moffs ''were'' the Empire; the central authorities and the paramilitary apparatus of [[Commission for the Preservation of the New Order/Legends|COMPNOR]] and [[Imperial Intelligence/Legends|Imperial Intelligence]] had essentially disappeared, leaving only a strategic military command charged primarily with frontier defense; what remained of the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]] was thus a federation of autonomous sectors, in which the Moffs controlled their own star systems with minimal outside interference; and such a situation was obviously highly amenable to the Moffs themselves.

In spite of devastating attacks on [[Bastion/Legends|Bastion]] and [[Muunilinst/Legends|Muunilinst]], the Moffs of the Remnant survived the [[Yuuzhan Vong War]] with their power largely intact, and the Imperial military played a significant role in the eventual defeat of the invaders. In the last phases of the war and the first years of the peace, the Moffs laid claim to many of the "liberated" star systems in former [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] space.

[[File:VeedFehlaaur.jpg|thumb|right|Grand Moff Morlish Veed and Moff Fehlaaur'aitel'loro]]

Apart from these hints at the expansion of their territory, there is little available evidence to show how the Moffs were affected by the attempts to integrate Imperial Space into the new [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances|Galactic Alliance]]. At some point after [[40 ABY]], however a new [[Galactic Emperor/Legends|Galactic Emperor]] was appointed, and under the [[Fel dynasty]], the Moffs retained their role as the leaders of a resurgent and independent Empire&mdash;a position they retained at the time of the [[Sith–Imperial War]] in [[127 ABY|127]]-[[130 ABY]].

By this time, however, it appears that the title of Moff had become at least partially separated from the office of regional governor, and if the leading Moffs of this era controlled any sort of "sectors", these would seem to have been major components of the Imperial state, rather than territorial provinces. The [[High Moff]] was the [[Grand Admiral/Legends|Grand Admiral]] in charge of the military, and the Council also included the [[Director of Imperial Intelligence]] and the heads of the [[Imperial Mission]], Imperial Navy, Imperial Army and the [[Imperial Diplomatic Corps]]. These six formed a quorum of the Council&mdash;indeed, the six may have been the entire compliment of the Moff Council at this time. All in all, the situation may have been closest to that which prevailed in the years immediately after the Clone Wars, when a handful of Moffs had controlled vast sectors.

Also of note is the fact that one of the Moffs at this time, [[Fehlaaur'aitel'loro]], was an [[Alien/Legends|alien]], albeit a [[near-Human]] [[Chiss/Legends|Chiss]], a member of one of the species most closely associated with the New Order over the decades.

==Role and powers==
Under the Sector Governance Decree, each Moff was armed with little more than a broad mandate to monitor sector government, and a [[Moff's Own|force]] of [[Stormtrooper/Legends|stormtroopers]] that was sufficient to secure their residence, maintain control in the surrounding streets, and provide protection to a few administrative personnel on detached duty. This was enough to provoke the Petition of Two Thousand and precipitate the revolution that overthrew the Old Republic.

[[File:Moff_disra.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Vilim Disra]], the most powerful Moff in what remained of [[Imperial Space]] until his imprisonment in [[19 ABY/Legends|19 ABY]].]]

By the time the re-named [[Imperial Senate/Legends|Imperial Senate]] was swept away nineteen years later, the machinery of power that the Moffs directed had increased almost beyond recognition. Within the civil chain of command, they became the formal superiors of all [[Planetary Governor/Legends|Planetary Governors]], while the paramilitary apparatus of COMPNOR and the intelligence networks amalgamated as Imperial Intelligence were both supposed to be channeled through the Moff's office at sector level. Most imposingly of all, they held authority over the immense military resources of a [[Sector Fleet]] or [[Sector Group/Legends|Sector Group]] within the Imperial Navy, as well as a [[Sector army]] in some cases (the latter due to the political complications of sector administration)<ref name="IHB" />: as regional governor, every Moff had ultimate authority over the deployment of all military forces within his sector, but the additional naval and military dignities of [[High Admiral]] and [[Surface Marshal]] of the sector were normally also held by the Moff himself, and only rarely delegated to subordinates.

According to sources produced by the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]], the Navy forces in a typical sector included twenty-four [[Star Destroyer/Legends|Star Destroyers]], 1,600 other warships, and 800 support ships, while the field forces of a typical [[Sector Army/Legends|Sector Army]] numbered 774,576 front-line troops, and a little over 400,000 support personnel, to say nothing of the dozens or hundreds of planetary garrisons—usually small Stormtrooper brigades commanded by [[Major General/Legends|Major Generals]]. However, in many sectors, the actual deployments were much smaller: in [[Minos Cluster/Legends|Minos Cluster]], the Sector Group comprised a single aging [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer/Legends|''Victory''-class Star Destroyer]] and a few small capital ships, while in the Tapani sector, on the eve of its planned transformation into an Oversector, the primary Army presence consisted of a single [[Battlegroup]] based at the [[Tallaan]] shipyards. Nevertheless, in terms of both manpower and firepower, the strength of the Imperial Service was unprecedented across the galaxy: it was a rare Moff who found himself outnumbered or outgunned by any organized enemy force that he might face.

[[File:AbranBalfour.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Moff [[Abran Balfour/Legends|Balfour]], a typical regional governor at the height of the [[New Order/Legends|New Order]]]]

In reality, there were little more than vague ideals about what a Moff was expected to with so many resources: they were expected to maintain order, prevent corruption, enforce the law, and not otherwise interfere with the operation of the local bureaucracy or sector government. The most important enhancement of their powers came likely came through the removal of the Senate and the associated administrative bureaucracy, eliminated many of the procedural channels and public political platforms that had once been the means of challenging or circumventing their authority.

The vagueness of their defined powers lead to infringements of civil liberty and tyranny; Moffs may have, in the name of restoring order, had their soldiers fire on peaceful demonstration, or bombard a planet into submission for purely political defiance.

By [[130 ABY]], the role of the Moffs evolved. The title was held by the governors of Imperial sectors, such as [[Nieve Gromia]] of the [[Arkanis sector/Legends|Arkanis sector]], as well as the heads of Imperial institutions such as the [[Imperial Navy/Legends|Navy]], [[Imperial Army/Legends|Army]], [[Imperial Intelligence/Legends|Intelligence]], [[Imperial Diplomatic Corps|Diplomatic Corps]] and [[Imperial Mission|Mission]].

==Insignia==
[[File:Moff_Jerjerrod.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Moff [[Tiaan Jerjerrod/Legends|Jerjerrod]] aboard the second [[Death Star II/Legends|Death Star]]]]

The first Moffs, appointed in [[19 BBY/Legends|19 BBY]], wore [[Imperial military uniforms/Legends|Imperial military uniforms]] with four [[Code cylinder/Legends|code cylinders]], and [[Rank insignia plaque/Legends|rank badges]] carrying five blue tabs above a varying combination of red and two gold: Wilhuff Tarkin had three red and two gold pips, while [[Marcellin Wessel]] wore one red and four gold. Later Moffs usually retained four code cylinders, but various Moffs are seen with a variety of different patterns of pips on their badges. Although the uniform and insignia of Moffs varied, Grand Moffs typically wore six red squares above three blue and three gold, while others wore six red squares over six blue, similar to an [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]].

Moffs could also wear civilian robes, as they did for meetings of the [[Council of Moffs/Legends|Moff Council]]. [[Ephin Sarreti]], Moff of Braxant Sector after the [[Pellaeon–Gavrisom Treaty|Bastion Accords]], wore a uniform without military insignia to stress the fact that his office as regional governor was fundamentally a civilian one.

By [[130 ABY]], Moffs typically wore the modified version of the Imperial uniform then in use, with a rank plaque placed centrally beneath the Imperial insignia at the throat of the tunic, and additional rows of tabs on either side of the collar. [[Konrad Rus]], head of the [[Imperial Mission]], wore a distinctive white uniform with gold wings.
