Emperor (tc)

Emperor is a title used by various rulers throughout the galaxy's history. Its true origin is unknown, but historically it has primarily been used a Sith title, offering some clues on its etymology. It is associated, naturally, with the form of government known as empire, another historically Sith idea.

Although any definition of this title will have outliers that do not fall within its scope, an explanation that would cover the vast majority is "an absolute or near-absolute ruler of a large amount of territory, to an extent that their empire would be a great power; almost always a Force user with at least some degree of connection to the Dark Side."

The title was nigh-exclusively Sith until the fall of the last Sith Empire, the Inconstant Empire. Although there was one more short-lived Sith Emperor after this, since then it has been the title of the Grey Emperors, who subscribe to the Grey Knight philosophy and wield both light and dark.
