- "'All' the pieces of the demesne are here to protect the Imperator. If the Imperator falls, the game is over."
- ―Sheev Palpatine, explaining Shah-tezh to Gallius Rax
The Imperator was a piece in the ancient board game known as Shah-tezh. The piece was represented by a robed figure on the demesne. No matter how many pieces remain in play, if the Imperator is lost, the game must begin anew to continue.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Imperator is similar in function to the King in chess.
