Grand Architect of the New Order was a prestigious honorary designation bestowed by the Galactic Empire in recognition of contributions to its New Order philosophy. During the Galactic Civil War, this title was held by Everi Chalis, the governor of the planet Haidoral Prime and an emissary to the Imperial Ruling Council, until her shift in allegiance to the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry in the year 3 ABY.
