Prefect (Scoftic government)

Prefect was a title used by the head of state of the Unknown Regions Scoftic government. Occasionally, Scoftic prefects were assassinated, which often led to the creation of new governmental protocols. Around 36 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines dates the Skirmish in the Kinoss system to 36 BBY. As the Mission to Bardram Scoft, in which the Chiss sent an ambassador to Bardram Scoft to meet with the new Prefect, took place just before the skirmish, it must have taken place around 36 BBY. the Prefect had recently been assassinated, and was subsequently replaced by a new one. As a result, the Chiss Ascendancy nation, among other nearby nations, sent an ambassador to meet the new Prefect and learn his protocols.
