The Eleven Elders of the People (sometimes known as the Eleven Elders of Emberlene, the Eleven of the Mistryl, or simply the Eleven Elders) were the ruling council of the planet Emberlene and the leaders of the Mistryl Shadow Guard. During the Clone Wars, the Eleven Elders led their planet into the Confederacy of Independent Systems, although their real aim seems to have been to carve out a small interstellar empire for themselves. In response, neighboring worlds hired a mercenary force to counterattack, and Emberlene was devastated.
