Mas Amedda

Mas Amedda is a Chagrian politician who served as the speaker of the Galactic Senate under the leaderships of both Supreme Chancellors Valorum and Palpatine. Amedda was one of Palpatine's closest political allies and was one of the few people who knew about his Sith identity.
== Biography ==
By the year 32 BBY, Amedda had risen to become the Vice Chair of the Senate. During the Naboo Crisis, Queen Padmé Amidala called for a Vote of No Confidence in Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum. After Valorum was removed from office as the Supreme Chancellor, he was succeeded by Palpatine, who at some point told Amedda about his Sith identity and his plans. Amedda soon became one of Darth Sidious' closest allies. 
During the Separatist Crisis, an event orchestrated by Sidious, Amedda suggested that the Senate needed to vote the Chancellor emergency powers so that he could approve the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic, which Sidious' allies had secretly arranged for ten years earlier.
Three years later, at the end of the Clone Wars, Sidious declared himself Emperor and reorganized the Republic into the Galactic Empire. Amedda continued to serve Sidious as one of the few non-humans in the Empire.
