Editing Shadows of the Dark Side/True Empire (section)

===Grand Vizier Mas Amedda===
After serving as Vice Chair of the Senate throughout Palpatine's tenure as Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, Mas Amedda remained a close ally to the Emperor, stepping away from the Senate as its powers waned and taking up a position as Palpatine's Grand Vizier.

After Palpatine's death, he was pressured by Admiral Kenatus of the Capital Fleet into accepting Leia Organa's claim to the Imperial throne. At first it seemed that this was the end of his career in politics, as the new Empress first dismissed him and then abolished his position, but New Order loyalists made contact with him and smuggled him to the Seswenna sector, where his recognition has served to buttress Tarkin's claims of legitimacy.
