Sly Moore

"A ghost from the Ghost Nebula. Hear the stories of deep-space sirens luring men to their doom? Sly Moore's like that. One look into those black-hole eyes, and...well, it's no wonder people say she seduced His Imperial Majesty himself. She'd turn the cold corpse of a Sith hot."

- Sarcev Quest

Biography
"I mean to say I saw the Umbaran myself, fueled by our Master's potency, usher forth a shadow-child from the wellspring of her womb into the storm of Byss. That is Sidious's power. His greatest contingency: to bring life from a deathly woman."

- Yupe Tashu

Hailing from the Umbaran homeworld of Umbara in the Ghost Nebula, Sly Moore was an enigmatic figure whose origins were surrounded in rumor. Some suggested she was once locked inside the tombs of long-dead Sith Lords, receiving carnal expertise from their spirits until she was rescued by Darth Sidious. An ambitious politician, Moore was inducted into Sidious's inner circle in the Galactic Republic, and was said to have used blackmail and sexual domination to remove her predecessor, Sei Taria, from office. However, Moore remained silent on this assertion. She manipulated weaker-minded bureaucrats, and was said to have the ability to influence minds.

Moore became Staff Aide to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and was made privy to many of his secrets, with some claiming she seduced Palpatine himself and conducted a relationship with him as one of his mistresses and concubines, and Sarcev Quest likening her to a deep-space siren. During her service, she carried out a clandestine affair with Mas Amedda, and proved more than a match for his imposing physicality and powerful sexual style.

When Palpatine transitioned the Republic into the Galactic Empire, Moore disappeared from the public eye, though she held high office in the Imperial regime despite being rarely seen under the increasing Human High Culture. She remained loyal to Palpatine, and rumors continued to circulate, suggesting she held a shadowy true purpose in Papatine's court. Some named her "Queen of the Empire", and whispers suggested she retreated to an ancient Sith planet to work alongside cultists and acolytes. Yupe Tashu claimed that he witnessed her give birth to Palpatine's Sith-spawned "shadow-child" on the Deep Core planet of Byss while fueled by Palpatine's potency in an arcane ritual, while others claimed she bore Palpatine a mutated child, but the troubled and unusual birth killed her.
