House Palpatine

House Palpatine was a noble family from Naboo. One member of the family was Sheev Palpatine, who was the Chancellor of the Galactic Republic and later ruler of the Galactic Empire.

History
The Palpatines originated from Alderaan and traveled to Naboo aboard a colonial fleet. Having a stake in setting up Naboo's colonial government, House Palpatine was one of the first of Naboo's noble families. At certain points in their history, the Palpatines ruled Naboo as monarchs and aristocrats. During Sheev Palpatine's lifetime, House Palpatine was still an aristocratic house with many of its members serving as advisers and public officers to the Royal House of Naboo.
