About Sly Moore

Sly Moore serves as one of Chancellor Palpatine’s most trusted advisors during the final years of the Galactic Republic, though her pale, ethereal appearance and silent demeanour suggest deeper mysteries beneath the surface. This enigmatic figure from the shadowy world of Umbara maintains a constant presence at Palpatine’s side, whispering counsel during crucial Senate sessions and standing witness to the Republic’s transformation into the Empire.

Her striking appearance sets her apart in the corridors of Coruscant’s political elite—alabaster skin, completely hairless features, and dark, penetrating eyes that seem to absorb light rather than reflect it. These characteristics mark her as Umbaran, a species known for their ability to influence and manipulate others through subtle psychological means. Moore’s role extends far beyond that of a typical political aide, as she demonstrates an uncanny ability to anticipate threats and navigate the treacherous waters of galactic politics.

Throughout the Clone Wars, she operates within multiple spheres of influence, from the Republic’s Prescreen department to various Imperial councils. Her survival and continued prominence following Palpatine’s rise to Emperor speaks to both her political acumen and her value to the Sith Lord’s grand design. Moore’s presence during pivotal moments—from Senate debates about emergency powers to the formal declaration of the Empire—positions her as a silent architect of galactic transformation.

Portrayed by Sandi Finlay, the character embodies the subtle corruption that permeates Palpatine’s inner circle, representing how darkness can flourish in the shadows of legitimate government.
