An aide or assistant was a worker or individual who assisted a person of high political or military standing. A number of senators in the Republic Senate, and later, Imperial leaders were assisted by aides.[source?]
When Padmé Amidala became senator of Naboo she took on handmaidens as her aides.[1] Her known aides included Dormé, Versé, Cordé and Teckla Minnau.[2] Later following the outbreak of the Clone Wars Amidala hired Moteé and Ellé[3] to replace Versé and Cordé[4] who had died in an assassination attempt on the senator's life.[2]
Amidala's close friend and ally Bail Organa of Alderaan also had several senatorial aides including Sheltay Retrac[3] and later Organa's adopted daughter and Amidala's biological daughter Leia Organa.[5]
During the Clone Wars, Cellheim Anujo served as an aide to Quarren Senator Tundra Dowmeia.[6]
Kilji vassals acted as aides to Kilji Illumine commanding officers and their masters, doing everything for them.[7]
Attendants in the Imperial Security Bureau acted as aides to ISB Supervisors.[8]
