Within the fictional context of Star Wars, a Moff is a high-ranking officer in the Galactic Empire and later the First Order. The title of Moff is a military rank that signifies significant authority, often commanding a sector of the galaxy or a large fleet. Moff Tarkin, who appeared in "Star Wars: A New Hope," is one of the most well-known characters to hold this title. Moff characters are typically depicted as ambitious, ruthless, and loyal to the Emperor or Supreme Leader, wielding considerable power and influence within the Imperial hierarchy. The term itself is thought to be derived from "governor" or "commander."
