Star Wars Imperial Name Generator

Imperial names in Star Wars have a deliberately familiar, clipped sound. Lucas cast the Empire as a gray-uniformed Core World officer class, and the names follow: Wilhuff Tarkin, Firmus Piett, Maximilian Veers, Kendal Ozzel, Lorth Needa, Cassio Tagge. Surnames are short, one or two syllables, heavy on hard stops (Tarkin, Piett, Krennic, Pryce) and first names sound like they came from an old-world military academy (Orson, Wullf, Tiaan, Arihnda). Later canon kept the recipe: Rae Sloane, Gallius Rax and Karyn Faro in the novels, Alexsandr Kallus and Kassius Konstantine in Rebels, and the ISB bureaucrats of Andor such as Dedra Meero, Lio Partagaz and Lonni Jung.

Rank is half the name. A character introduced as Grand Moff, Moff, Grand Admiral, Admiral, Commodore, Captain, Commander or Lieutenant carries the Imperial hierarchy in the title, and the Imperial Security Bureau uses Supervisor and Agent instead. Governors run sectors, Directors run projects like the Death Star, and Inquisitors use numbered titles rather than names. Enlisted stormtroopers and TIE pilots lose their names altogether and go by operating numbers in the style of TK-421.

The list gives you canon officers with their ranks, hundreds of original Core World names in the same register, rank-prefixed titles ready for an NPC roster, and TK numbers and squadron callsigns for the rank and file.
