Prince-Regent

The Prince-Regent was the title of the de facto leader of the Imperial Federation, the successor state of the. The Imperial Constitution of 6 ABY established that the Imperial Throne would not be abolished but remain in a permanent vacancy as there was no legitimate heir to Emperor Palpatine, thus creating a permanent state of regency. The Prince-Regent was the head of government and also the acting head of state, exercising the powers of the Imperial monarchy.

The Imperial Regent could issue decrees and override decisions by the Moff Council or the reconstituted Imperial Senate. In practice, the powers of the regency were kept in check somewhat by the power of the individual Moffs and Grand Moffs, with whom the Regent needed to cooperate in order to rule.
