Tarkin family
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
- "The Tarkin family of Eriadu played a critical, but mostly offstage, role in shaping galactic politics."
- ―Voren Na'al[src]
The Human Tarkin family consisted of several members from the world of Eriadu. They included Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, Shayla Paige-Tarkin, senator of Eriadu around 22 BBY, and Ranulph Tarkin, senator of Eriadu around 44 BBY. The Tarkins had a bitter, feuding relationship with the Valorums (at least the ones living on Eriadu); however, the Tarkins were integral in helping Finis Valorum be elected Supreme Chancellor in the elections of 40 BBY.
They were the most powerful family of the Quintad, a group of five powerful families that ruled the planet Eriadu and originated on Corulag before emigrating to Eriadu around 900 BBY.
Sander Delvardus was a member of the extended Tarkin family.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Author John Ostrander originally envisioned Ranulph as the uncle of Wilhuff. However, The New Essential Chronology established them as cousins.
