A distinctive hat worn by Neimoidians of high rank, the senatorial miter featured a tall design culminating in an arrow-like point. Lott Dod, a Senator, famously sported a dark blue senatorial miter as a symbol of his authority and importance within the Senate of the Galactic Republic.
The senatorial miter made its initial appearance in the prequel trilogy film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, released in 1999. Its official designation was established later, in the 2017 publication Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia.
