House Palpatine

**House Palpatine**, known as the **Imperial family**, was a dynastic noble human family from the Mid Rim planet of Naboo that became the ruling family of the Galactic Empire. House Palpatine was known throughout its history on Naboo as a conservative and isolationist family, though it was not as prominent or wealthy as some of the other Royal Houses of Naboo.

In 65 BBY, House Palpatine was rendered almost extinct when the eldest son of Cosinga Palpatine, Sheev, exterminated all of his immediate family, including his father. Sheev was initiated into the Sith Order by Darth Plagueis as Darth Sidious, and later came to rule the galaxy as Galactic Emperor of the Galactic Empire for an entire generation. During his rule, many claimants contended blood relation to House Palpatine, and similarly, pretenders sought to legitimize their bid for the throne after Emperor Palpatine's fall. The House's color was scarlet, prominently featured on the family crest, which depicted a veermok, an aiwha, and a zalaaca.
