"Ah, he's a ruler now. Probably surrounded by courtiers and bureaucracy and all the other bantha poodoo I've had to deal with here for the past eight years. Bet you one of his new flunkies tossed my message out with the rest of the trash people send a count of Serenno."
―Rael Averross, Dooku's former Padawan[2]

Count of Serenno was a title held by Dooku[3] of House Serenno as count of the planet Serenno, with his father Gora and his brother Ramil, who lost the title with the invasion of Serenno, having held the title previously.[1] During a dinner between the two of them, Wilhuff Tarkin once referred to Dooku by his title and suggested it would be the name Dooku would try to use as leader of a galaxy-wide autocracy, which Dooku claimed was not his end goal.[4] Dooku continued to hold the title until his death during the Battle of Coruscant.[5] The cape Dooku wore was the emblem of the Count of Serenno.[3] In 10 BBY, Chrodber served as the Count of Serenno and was present aboard the First Light, a yacht owned by Crimson Dawn crime lord Dryden Vos.[6]
