Poggle
Archduke Poggle The Lesser of Geonosis controlled many Geonosian colonies and was also a leading member of the Separatist council, plus he held the data for the ultimate weapon; The Death Star.
There was a time when Poggle was a a member of the low society of the winged Geonosians, hence the name 'Lesser', but Darth Sidious came to Poggle's aid in a rebellion and in return Poggle would supply a large portion of the Battle Droids for the Separatist army, all built within massive burning Foundries. Soon after Dooku approached Poggle and explained he was Sidious's Apprentice, before tasking Poggle and San Hill of another task, to rehabilitate a Kaleesh warrior and turn him into a Cyborg. With the new Cyborg Dooku would train him up and he would lead the Droids with a new identity and name, he was General Grievous.
Poggle also proceeded over the planned execution of the Jedi and Padme, but the arena battle didn't go as planned, as the beasts within were killed and befor long, dozens of Jedi and Clone Troopers had arrived. Fearing his life, Poggle fled, but not before giving Dooku the Death Star plans.
During the ensuing Clone Wars, Poggle saw plenty of action, but as the Clone Wars drew to a close, so did Poggle's life, for Sidious's new master; Darth Vader was tasked with one last job before the reign of the Emperor; to kill all the Separatists, loyalists, Jedi and anyone else who stood in the Sith's way, that included Poggle, for whilst discussing matters on Mustafar, Vader cut down all the Separatists in fatal blows with his Light Sabre. Poggle was no warrior and he fell in an instant.

Grand Moff Tarkin
Grand Moff Trakin
Wilhuff Tarkin was an ambitious man and a captain in the republic navy and had more than one brush with his later boss; Anakin, including a brief stint in busting out Jedi Even Piell from jail. He quickly took the eye of Palpatine, who saw his devious potential and enlisted him as the 1st Moff and soon after and even higher position, that of Grand Moff.
He was given the large task of overseeing the Empire's latest weapon; the 'Death Star' and although it took longer than they thought, the Death Star was finally completed under Wilhuff's rule.
When Princess Leia was kidnapped by Vader, she was taken aboard the Death Star and interrogated and when asked where her rebel base was. She said 'Dantooine', but it didn't matter what she said, Tarkin was intent on showing the Death Stars superlaser and delighted in upsetting Leia by destroying her homeworld of Alderaan. Soon, the rebels arrived to save her, but they went one step further and with a lucky shot, the Death Star was destroyed from the inside out. Tarkin was on board when it blew up, but Palpatine quickly got over Tarkin's death, insisting on the building of another Death Star.
