BiographyEdit

In 7 ABY, Admiral Betl Oxtroe, an officer in the Imperial Navy, made overtures to the New Republic Provisional Council to negotiate an end to the war between the New Republic and the Galactic Empire. She proposed the conversion of the Empire into a constitutional monarchy, with Pallopides assuming the throne as Galactic Empress and with the Provisional Council serving in place of the Imperial advisors—as Pallopides was only eleven years old, this would have effectively made the Provisional Council the actual leadership in this new proposed Empire. Before Oxtroe got very far in her negotiations, she was assassinated by unknown killers, although later official New Republic accounts implicated Noghri assassins.

Behind the scenesEdit

Although she was identified as a grandniece of Palpatine, the novel Star Wars: Darth Plagueis revealed that Palpatine murdered four of his younger siblings in his family. Though there are numerous possible explanations, none have been yet provided by the authors.
