Director of Sentientology

The Director of Sentientology was a position in the Academy at Sab Rufo that, according to the credentials of the sentientologist Obo Rin, he held by the time of the reign of the Galactic Empire. At one point, Imperial Intelligence Major Herrit performed a background check on Rin, whom the Empire had commissioned to author a reference work detailing the various sentient species of the galaxy. Herrit subsequently sent communique #46553.27h, addressed to the Galactic Emperor Palpatine's apprentice, Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader, in which the major criticized Rin and erroneouslyThe Star Wars Planets Collection claimed that the Academy at Sab Rufo—or indeed Sab Rufo itself—did not in fact exist. In a reply communique, Vader's aide Captain Solistein dismissed Herrit's "unsolicited opinions" and, in response to the latter's criticisms of Rin's qualifications, only stated that Vader had not ordered Herrit to perform a background check on the sentientologist.
