Mas Amedda

"We all do our part for the Republic. I can take my pick of the finest courtesans from Coruscant to the Rose of Ryloth and the shores of Moenia. And all that is required is my life-long service to security, justice, peace, and new order."

- Mas Amedda

Mas Amedda was a Chagrian male politician who served as Vice Chair of the Galactic Senate in the Galactic Republic, and later as Grand Vizier of the Galactic Empire. Privy to many secrets, Amedda was instrumental in keeping Darth Sidious in power, and managed the daily running of the Empire until the Emperor's death at the Battle of Endor, after which he was forced to concede power to Mon Mothma and Leia Organa during aggressive negotiation.

Early career
Mas Amedda, a Chagrian male from Champala, became a politician in the Galactic Republic and served as the Vice Chair of the Galactic Senate alongside Chancellor Valorum. As a member of the Senate Mas became a favorite of the Star Whores gentleman's club, and his invitation served as a sign that he had made it in the Senate. A powerful figure privy to many secrets, Amedda continued his service into Sheev Palpatine's tenure, and was one of the few to learn of his true identity as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious.

He carried out a clandestine affair with Palpatine's Staff Aide Sly Moore, and once found a paramour in the Nubian handmaiden Dormé. He retained his fondness for Nubian girls, and had the former Naboo spice miner Mané brought to Coruscant specifically for his pleasure to serve as his concubine. As a life-long servant of the Republic, Amedda found himself able to take his pick of the finest courtesans on Coruscant and other locales such as the Rose of Ryloth and Moenia.

Grand Vizier of the Empire
Instrumental in keeping Palpatine in power, Amedda became Grand Vizier of the Galactic Empire and administered much of the day-to-day governance as Palpatine grew reclusive and delegated daily running to Amedda as he slowly retreated from public view. This information was not known to the public at large, and many in the Senate presumed the Vizier continued to consult his master on matters of any serious consequence. It was widely believed the Emperor remained at the highest echelon of his Empire despite Amedda's work, and the Vizier did not have the respect of the military to be a viable candidate to eventually replace him. Amedda continued to worry over threats from criminal organizations in the Outer Rim Territories and grand conspiracies within the Senate, though he continually underestimated his opponents. Mané, initially his concubine, was afforded residence in the Star Whores club during this period, and was doled out as patronage to loyal club members.

Following the Emperor's death at the Battle of Endor, Amedda lost control of the Empire and was forced to engage in aggressive negotiations with Mon Mothma and Leia Organa on Velusia. The pair tag-teamed Amedda during the bout, and he ultimately conceded power to them.

Personality and traits
Mas Amedda was a powerful political figure privy to many secrets at the highest echelons of both the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire. He had an imposing physicality matched by his powerful sexual style. He championed security, justice, peace, and order, and was able to choose numerous courtesans as a benefit of his life-long political service. A prominent member of the Galactic Senate who made it among august company with an invitation to Star Whores, Amedda maintained a fondness for Nubian girls, taking lovers and concubines including Dormé and Mané. As Imperial Vizier his workload increased, and he grew wary of outside threats even while underestimating his opponents.
