Biography[]
Mas Amedda was an adult male member of the Chagrian race of Champala. In the waning years of the Galactic Republic, he served as Vice Chancellor to Finis Valorum. When Valorum was ousted, he was replaced by Sheev Palpatine. Mas Amedda continued to serve in the capacity of Vice Chancellor under Palpatine's time as Chancellor.
At the close of the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious re-organized the Republic under the banner of the First Galactic Empire with himself in the position of Emperor. Mas Amedda's title was changed to Grand Vizier and he became the primary architect of the Empire's operational functionality until Sidious's death in 4 ABY, which also saw the fall of the Empire.
When the New Republic came to order, Mas Amedda was granted a pardon, and maintained his title of Grand Vizier, but this was a figurehead role, and he no longer possessed any real governing power.
