Master of Ceremonies The Master of Ceremonies was the nickname of a male Human who organized Life Day activities towards the middle of the inter - Sith Wars period . In 3640 BBY , he and his Life Day Revelers stayed on Vaiken Spacedock , which was property of the Sith Empire . However , the Imperials had only allowed him on their spacedock by accident , and his presence was explicitely condemned in the Imperial Edict GR - 1NC4 . During his two - week stay on the spacedock , the Master of Ceremonies sold festive goods and promoted cheerful activities that were looked at with jaundiced eyes by the Imperial authorities . That same year , he also appeared on Carrick Station , with the Galactic Republic ' s blessing . Biography . The male Human known as the " Master of Ceremonies " lived during the inter - Sith Wars period . With the help of his Life Day Revelers , he promoted the celebration of Life Day , an end - of - the - year holiday originally invented by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk , in the wider galactic community . By 3640 BBY , in the midst of the Galactic War between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic , he acted as the ringmaster of a series of seasonal activities revolving around the celebration of Life Day . Along with his entourage of Human and Wookiee Revelers , the Master of Ceremonies showed up at both the Republic ' s Carrick Station and the Empire ' s Vaiken Spacedock to bring holiday cheer and sell Life Day - themed novelty items . While the Galactic Republic welcomed the Revelers on Carrick Station , the authorities of the Sith Empire considered their holiday activities to be " unbecoming of an Imperial citizen . " Despite that , the Master of Ceremonies did obtain an official license to peddle his goods in the Galactic Trade Market sector of Vaiken Spacedock because of an administrative oversight . The Master of Ceremonies and his Revelers remained on Vaiken Spacedock for two weeks , encouraging the Imperials stationed there to sing , dance and throw harmless Life Day snowball bomb s at each other . Despite having accidentally authorized him on the station , the Imperial government issued the Imperial Edict GR - 1NC4 , branding the Master of Ceremonies and his cohorts as dissident elements . The edict also warned the citizens not to buy their goods — which were under review under Section 53 - T of Imperial law , meaning their purchase and possession was be considered an official contraband violation . Personality and traits . By 3640 BBY , the Master of Ceremonies was a tall , husky man with broad shoulders , brown eyes and a pinkish complexion . Most of his once brown hair had gone white with the exception of the eyebrows , and he sported a short boxed beard . When selling his holiday items on Vaiken Spacedock , he wore the same red robes and white gloves of the Life Day Revelers , while also donning a distinctive crescent - shaped headgear with a crest mounted transversely . Contrary to the dominant position in the Sith Empire , the Master of Ceremonies had no biases against non - Humans such as the Wookiees , the original celebrants of Life Day on their homeworld of Kashyyyk , as he openly encouraged nonviolent physical contact with them . As a whole , his cheerful disposition put him at odds with the Imperial culture , which was dominated by Sith Lord and soldiers .
