Haven't seen a slaughter so incredible like the one Galan orchestrated in this thread in a long time. Well done.

Question-
Are there any canon quotes that mention how much ofthe outer rim Tarkin controlled? i know he controls a large portion of it, but is there anything more definitive then that?

Yes and no.

As you mentioned, a few sources state that Tarkin 'just' controlled a huge chunk of the Outer Rim:
quote:
Tarkin's main office, the one from which he controlled a large swath of the Outer Rim, was probably even more intimidating.

-Thrawn
quote:
Tarkin's title was technically a civilian one, his position giving him authority across a huge swath of the Outer Rim. But he also wore an Imperial Navy uniform, and his duties and authority straddled both civilian and military venues.

-Thrawn



Other sources, however, imply/state that he controlled the entirety of the Outer Rim:
quote:
"Was it not you who suggested the creation of oversectors and oversector governance as a means of enhancing our control?"
"It was, my lord," Tarkin replied.
"Then your wish is granted. The Outer Rim is yours to oversee -- and with it, the whole of the mobile battle station project," said the Emperor.

-Tarkin

-Rebels Visual Guide



...Which is an even greater testament to the gargantuan amount of power/authority Palpatine vested in that man.

so I suppose you all read Darth Vader #16?? The answer you seek is pretty cut and dry in there... Tarkin doesn't outrank Vader at all, hes got about as much authority over Vader as i do over my small intestine after spicy mexican

Tarkin is still a moff at this point. Also, Tarkin hasn't earned Vader's respect yet.

doesn't mean he ever got direct control over Vader at any point. Vader was sent to the first Death Star strictly as an observer and enforcer so yeah; Tarkin was in absolute control of that space station but hes never had any form of control over Vader

You are correct. Tarkin controlling Vader has nothing to do with him being in charge of the Death Star though. It's just a sign of mutual respect.

Vader Force chokes Admira Motti

Tarkin: Enough of this! Vader: release him.

Vader releases Admiral Motti
Vader: As you wish.

laughing out loud

Galan has posted scans from several official sources that make it explicitly clear Tarkin eventually outranked Vader. That’s an indisputable fact.

Vader #16 takes place before all that. Not difficult.

As was explicitly stated on the intro page of this issue, Tarkin is still a standard Moff at this point in the story(ie. he hasn't yet been promoted to a 'Grand' Moff):

And like the plethora of sources I have posted reiterate: Tarkin only gained true authority over Vader when he became a GRAND Moff and Oversector Governor.

Simple. smile

In general, they are below Tarkin, Vader, Thrawn, and all other Grand Moffs. The Rebels Visual Guide has them in the same tier as Planetary Governors.

That said, Inquisitors still have command over [most of] the Imperial military, and are [mostly] uninhibited when hunting Jedi:
quote:
"Moreover, the Sixth Brother was granted unlimited Imperial backing when it came to tracking down a Jedi."

-Ahsoka (novelization)

Because aside from Sheev himself, Tarkin was *the* top dog in the Empire.

Then Vader.

Then everyone else.

I’m guessing that’s new canon as in legends the grand admirals we’re above the grand moffs

Tarky is still bad ass

Grand Admirals and Grand Moffs are not comparable since they are not in the same chain of command.

Moffs hold military power just as would a grand admiral
