Did You Know the Galactic Republic Had TWO Chancellors?

Did you know that in the High Republic era of Star Wars, the Galactic Republic had not one, but two chancellors? As the Republic expanded into the Outer Rim, the human Kyong Greylark was elected to the position alongside the Quarren, Orlen Mollo. Greylark represented the more formal version of a Chancellor, largely remaining on Coruscant near the Galactic Senate. Mollo oversaw Republic expansion in the Outer Rim aboard his Longbeam-cruiser, traveling to new worlds and serving as a diplomat to planets like Eiram and E’ronoh. Their relationship wasn’t always perfect, but Kyong Greylark eventually stepped down as co-chancellor, and fully placed her trust and confidence in Orlen Mollo’s leadership.

Orlen Mollo was a massive gigachad too. He's the only politician in Star Wars history to ever stabilize the Outer Rim.

This actually helps out the Tarkin Book a lot in regard to the timeline of republic chancellors mentioned in the book. Although an alternative answer could be that it was a transition year.

Worth noting this was pretty unusual even for the period!

You know if they kept this around the whole empire never would have been a thing

[jonasdrejerjensen]

so a bit like the roman consul system i suppose. or the dual kingship of sparta

There was even a time when Darth Plagues thought he would be Palpatine's Co Chancellor.

Sound like it was inspired by the Roman consuls.
