Galactic Emperor

The Galactic Emperor was a title used by Darth Sidious after he reorganised the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire.

Powers
The Galactic Emperor was the ruler over the Empire and held all authority over the entire Empire. The Galactic Emperor had the power to disband the Imperial Senate, a power which was put into effect in 0 BBY when Emperor Palpatine replaced the Senate with Regional Governors, as well as the Imperial Ruling Council.

In 35 ABY, when Palpatine was revealed to have survived, he reestablished the role of Galactic Emperor as the Final Order prepared to conquer the galaxy. However, he was killed once more before he could properly establish himself as the Emperor.
