From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Sidereal Period was a time period in the galaxy that began in 5,689 BBY. It was still being used as a dating system in some locations at the time of the Galactic Civil War.^[1]

The magazine Chrono nominated Supreme Chancellor Palpatine as "Sentient of the Sidereal" just prior to the Clone Wars.^[2]

Behind the scenes

The term "sidereal period" in astronomy is defined as the time that it takes an object to make one full orbit around its sun, relative to the surrounding stars — in other words, a planet's local "year."

"Sentient of the Sidereal" is probably a reference to Time magazine's annual "Person of the Year" issue.
