Darth Vader confronts the Umbaran in Star Wars Darth Vader
Summary Warning! Spoilers for Star Wars: Darth Vader #48 ahead!Despite their rocky relationship in the Star Wars saga, Darth Vader's position as Emperor Palpatine’s apprentice mostly remained secure until Palpatine discovered Vader’s son - Luke Skywalker. But, by pitting Luke against his father for a place by his side, Palpatine disrupted the once stable Sith hierarchy and left it susceptible to attack from an unlikely outside force – the Umbaran.
Led by Sly Moore aka the Umbaran, the Schism Imperial poses one of the most significant threats to Palpatine's rule since his rise to power. Notably, Moore's previous role as Palpatine's chief aide granted her unparalleled access to his inner circle. Furthermore, as a Force-sensitive Umbaran, Moore can manipulate the minds of others, likely making her privy to many of Palpatine's and Vader's plans that they’d rather keep secret.
Moore’s attempted power grab is surprising if seen only from the perspective of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Throughout the Clone Wars, Moore obediently stands by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine’s side. She does so even though her home world, Umbara, becomes one of the fiercest foes of the Galactic Republic. Her loyalty to Palpatine continues even after he becomes Emperor.
