The Four Sages of Dwartii, namely Braata, Faya, Sistros, and Yanjon, were a group of controversial philosophers and lawgivers from the early days of the Galactic Republic, and influenced its earliest laws. Sheev Palpatine kept bronzium statues of the Four Sages in his office during his tenure as Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. Upon becoming Galactic Emperor in the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Palpatine moved to new quarters, taking the Sistros statue with him.
