Legend

this was the name given to the senatorial body of Imperial Moffs, which supported Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon and helped run the day-to-day operations of the Imperial Remnant. While powerful in its own right, the Moff Council answered to the Supreme Commander. After the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, the Moff Council generally refused to assist the New Republic in any way, especially after the losses sustained by Imperial forces in the Battle of Ithor. Initially, this seemed to be a good strategy. However, the Moffs soon grew complacent in their isolation, believing that the Yuuzhan Vong would simply ignore them because no attack had yet been made on Imperial space. They refused to believe that any notice had been taken by the alien invaders, and that there were any Yuuzhan Vong agents in their midst. This changed at the Battle of Bastion, when Yuuzhan Vong forces decimated the Imperial fleet at Bastion, and later destroyed the fleet at Muunilinst. Even with these losses, the Moff Council was loathe to agree with the information provided by Jacen Solo, especially Moff Kurlen Flennic. Flennic seized an opportunity to take control of the Empire when it was believed that Pellaeon was killed at Bastion. Pellaeon survived, however, and threatened to take the entire Imperial fleet with him to join the Galactic Alliance if the Moffs didn't accept Jacen's terms to join themselves. Reluctantly, the Moff Council decided that their best chance for survival was to join the Galactic Alliance.
