  The Galactic Republic has been the presiding governing 
  body throughout the galaxy for nearly twenty-five millennia. It 
  was comprised of hundreds of thousands of star systems and 
  thousands of sentient races. Those who served the Republic 
  faced many adversities over the millennia. The Clone Wars were 
  no different. After a thousand years of peace and prosperity 
  the Republic had become corrupt and decadent. There were 
  those who came to realize this deterioration of Democracy and 
  pledged to break away from the crumbling government. When 
  this splitting came to all out war, the Republic was ready to 
  answer their enemy’s call to arms with their Grand Army of the 
  Republic. Below is a chronicling of those who remained loyal to 
  the Republic and for what it stood.
  Palpatine – Supreme Chancellor of the Republic
  Palpatine began his political career on his home world of 
  Naboo at approximately twenty years of age. Fresh out of 
  Naboo’s public service, his early political life was mired with a 
  series of dissatisfying electoral defeats at the hands of several 
  opponents. For nearly a decade, Palpatine maintained a drab 
  governmental portfolio until his first big break occurred when 
  he was thirty years old. The incumbent senator of Naboo, Vidar 
  Kim, was assassinated in a drive-by shooting, leaving Palpatine 
  running unopposed. He was elected to serve as the next Senator 
  of the Chommell Sector’s thirty-seven inhabited worlds.
  Taking his position on the Senate floor on Coruscant, Palpa-
  tine led a fairly meek political record. He forged several bonds 
  with allies such as Lieutenant Governor Wilhuff Tarkin of Eriadu, 
  Republic Justice Department Commander Terrinald Screed, and 
  Jedi Jorus C’boath and Ronar Kim, son of Palpatine’s former 
  Senatorial opposition, Vidar Kim. With the assistance of his 
  political aides, Sate Pestage and Kinman Doriana, Palpatine took 
  part in a Republic task force sent to the Aqualish planet of Ando 
  to negotiate the demilitarization of the planet’s inhabitants 
  approximately nine years into his position as senator. Palpatine’s 
  relatively uneventful track record continued for nearly twenty 
  years, but all of that was about to change.
  When Palpatine was fifty years old, the Republic had incurred 
  tremendous debt on such government-funded projects as the 
  Holonet. The Senate passed a bill that allowed for the taxa-
  tion of established trade routes within Republic space in hopes 
  that the supplemental income would alleviate some of those 
  debts. This act sent organizations like the Trade Federation into 
  a frenzy, and in retaliation the Neimoidian monopolized Trade 
  Federation blockaded Palpatine’s home planet of Naboo, hoping 
  to re-establish talks to relax or eliminate the tariffs. Despite 
  several negotiations between the Trade Federation senator Lott 
  Dod and Palpatine, a compromise couldn’t be reached. The cur-
  rent Supreme Chancellor, Finis Valorum, secretly dispatched two 
  Jedi Knights, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Padawan Obi-Wan 
  Kenobi, to force a settlement and diffuse the situation before it 
  escalated. 
  Unfortunately, circumstances only worsened when the Trade 
  Federation invaded Naboo and seized control of its inhabitants. 
  Despite the best efforts of the Trade Federation the leader of 
  the Naboo, Queen Amidala, managed to escape the planet and 
  together with Palpatine they pleaded their world’s case to the 
  Senate. It seemed, however, that Supreme Chancellor Valorum 
  
  
  THE REPUBLIC
  was far too pliable to the whims of the Trade Federation and was 
  content to bury the incident under red tape. Palpatine suggested 
  to Amidala that a vote of no confidence be imposed on Valorum 
  in hopes that a new Chancellor would be elected who would be 
  more sympathetic to their cause. 
  As fate would have it, that was exactly what transpired. Bail 
  Antilles of Alderaan and Palpatine of Naboo were nominated to 
  run for the Chancellorship, and after a concise voting process 
  Palpatine emerged victorious, becoming the final being to hold 
  office as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. The crisis 
  at Naboo was resolved by Queen Amidala, however, when she 
  returned to her homeworld and united the remnants of her free 
  people with the native Gungans. Together with Gungan leader 
  Boss Nass, the Gungans and Naboo launched an assault on 
  the Naboo capital of Theed, capturing the heads of the Trade 
  Federation and handing them over to Republic authorities for 
  their crimes. 
  The Battle of Naboo seemed to only serve as a beginning to a 
  domino effect that would plunge the galaxy into war. Jedi Mas-
  ter Qui-Gon Jinn lost his life at the hands of the Sith Lord Darth 
  Maul during the conflict. When news of Jinn’s death reached 
  Coruscant, Qui-Gon’s former master, Dooku, saw it as the last 
  straw and abandoned the Jedi order, citing reasons includ-
  ing the Republic had become too corrupt and the Jedi placed 
  themselves under the control of the spiraling government. After 
  several years on his home planet of Serrano, Dooku began a 
  secessionist movement against the Republic that quickly picked 
  up steam. 
  Hundreds of star systems rallied to Count Dooku’s cause 
  and for the first time in a thousand years, the Republic was 
  in danger of fracturing. Because of these grievous events, the 
  Senate instituted amendments that allowed Chancellor Palpatine 
  to remain in office past his usual term, fearing that the election 
  campaign process would weaken the Republic in a time of great 
  need. Many senators felt the Republic needed a standing army 
  in this time of crisis, and the Military Creation Act was proposed. 
  Unfortunately, this divided the Republic even further due to the 
  Loyalist party insisting that the creation of an army would only 
  escalate matters.
  Ten years after being elected Chancellor, Palpatine’s worst 
  fears came to fruition when the Jedi discovered Count Dooku’s 
  true intentions of waging war against the Republic. Fortu-
  nately, it seemed a Jedi by the name of Sifo-Dyas possessed 
  the foresight to see the impending doom and collaborated with 
  the cloners of Kamino and contracted the growth of a massive 
  clone army for the Republic some ten years earlier. A quarter of 
  a million troops were ready just as the Republic needed them 
  and a million more were nearing completion. Representative Jar 
  Jar Binks of Naboo called for emergency powers to be granted 
  to Palpatine that would give him the privilege of approving the 
  Military Creation Act uncontested as well as extend his term 
  in the office of Chancellor until such time as he saw fit. As 
  Palpatine’s first executive order under the Emergency Powers 
  Act, he approved the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic 
  to counter the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent 
  Systems.
  A handful of Jedi Knights hurried to Geonosis in an effort to 
  rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Senator Padme 
  Amidala, who had been captured by Count Dooku and his allies 
  and were to be executed. Some two-hundred Jedi faced off 
  against the droid forces of the Separatists. Though they put 
  forth a valiant effort, they were eventually overwhelmed. As 
  the handful of remaining Jedi were about to be slaughtered, 
  Palpatine’s Grand Army led by Jedi Master Yoda swept in to 
  their rescue. Clones met against droids on the desert plains of 
  Geonosis, giving way to the Battle of Geonosis, igniting the 
  Clone Wars. 
  For three years, Palpatine headed the Republic’s military 
  forces as their commander-in-chief with the Jedi Order acting 
  as military leaders. Amendment after amendment was instated 
  giving Palpatine more authority in military movements as the 
  senators of the Republic proved inept military coordinators. In 
  the closing days of the third year of the Clone Wars, in an act 
  of desperation, Count Dooku led a massive fleet of Confederate 
  warships, plunging into the core and laying siege to Coruscant. 
  Dooku’s supreme commander, General Grievous, personally led 
  an ambush on the surface in an attempt to kidnap Supreme 
  Chancellor Palpatine. The Chancellor was spirited away from 
  his home at 500 Republica by the Jedi to his security bunker 
  in the bowels of the city-planet. However, General Grievous 
  had impeccable intelligence and cut them off at the bunker’s 
  entrance. Grievous made short work of the Jedi and took Palpa-
  tine into custody. 
  The forces of the Republic worked feverishly to reclaim the 
  Chancellor, but Grievous managed to secure Palpatine onboard 
  the Confederate flagship, the Invisible Hand. Imprisoned on the 
  observation deck of the hulking warship, Palpatine watched as 
  Count Dooku faced off with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Sky-
  walker, who were attempting to rescue him. General Kenobi was 
  incapacitated during the struggle, but the young Jedi Skywalker 
  was stalwart and soundly defeated the Confederate leader in a 
  duel to the death. Scooping up Kenobi, Skywalker and Palpatine 
  made a daring escape from the clutches of the Separatists by 
  seizing control of the Invisible Hand and crash-landing it on 
  Coruscant surface.

  THE REPUBLIC
  
  Not long after, General Kenobi was dispatched to Utapau 
  to eliminate General Grievous. Obi-Wan was successful in his 
  mission, however when the Separatist threat had ended, the 
  Jedi attempted a coup by cornering the Chancellor in his private 
  quarters to carry out an assassination. The Jedi Knight Anakin 
  Skywalker came to Palpatine’s aid and was able to save the 
  Chancellor’s life, but Palpatine was far from unscathed. In the 
  attempt on Palpatine’s life, he was left horribly disfigured by the 
  Jedi. In response to this treachery, Palpatine addressed the Sen-
  ate, informing them that he planned to restructure the Republic 
  into a Galactic Empire, to insure the safety and security of their 
  way of life. He then declared the entire Jedi order as enemies 
  of the Empire, ordering their immediate extermination. After 
  appointing himself Emperor, Palpatine grew reclusive, overseeing 
  the transition of the galactic government from his lofty palace 
  under the protection of his red-robed Imperial Royal Guards.

  the entry for Darth Sidious in the Dark Side chapter.
  Mas Amedda – Vice Chancellor of the Republic
  Eleven years before the Clone Wars began, this blue-skinned 
  Chagrian served in the Galactic Senate as the senator to his 
  home world of Champala. Mas Amedda had a passion for his-
  tory, procedure and possessed qualities that made him a com-
  manding presence on the Senate floor. He was also a member of 
  the Rim Faction – a group of senators that advocated the reduc-
  tion in the Republic’s governing power in individual planetary 
  affairs in opposition to the Core Faction. As such, the leader 
  The Empire wasn’t born overnight, despite the fact that it’s declaration was.  Over a period of nearly five years, Chancellor 
  Palpatine cleverly manipulated the Senate into consolidating all power in the Office of the Chancellor.  When Palpatine finally did 
  declare himself Emperor, it was merely a formality, he already have full control of the Republic government. 
  Emergency Powers Act (24BBY): Gave chancellor the power to stay beyond his natural term of service and choose when to 
  step down to allow elections again.  Also gave him the power to declare martial law on planets in an effort to stop the Separatist 
  Crisis.
  Transit Tax (23 BBY): This tax on people traveling via registered starliners caused many refugees to be stranded on worlds 
  cedeing from the Republic, unable to afford the 15% tax on transit to a safer world. 
  Military Creation Act/Emergency Powers (22BBY): An expansion of the existing Emergency Powers Act, allowing the Chan-
  cellor greater latitude in dealing with the Separatist Crisis, including the creation of a Grand Army of the Republic.
  Republic Executive Directive 93021-84121 (22BBY): Allowed Palpatine to seize all public and private holonet channels for 
  government and military use.
  Victory Rationing Orders and Regulation Plan/E-Marker (22BBY): Passed just after the start of the Clone Wars, designed 
  to help preserve war materiel, specifically fuel rationing.  Created an underground of people forging E-Rations for fuel, allowing 
  Palpatine to crack down on the fringe elements harshly.
  Senate Directive 3591 (22BBY): This directive authorized Chancellor Palpatine to commandeer any resource of group of 
  resources in the Republic to help bring about a swift end to the Clone Wars.  This directive was used to take over Spaarti Creations 
  on Cartao, as well as many other facilities throughout the Republic.
  Enhanced Security and Enforcement Act (21BBY): Centralized more of the Senate’s power with the Chancellor, and allowed 
  unwarrented search and seizure of citizens and their homes without due process, and the unrestricted use of surveillance droids.
  Decree E49D139.41 (21BBY): Banned non-military cloning research throughout Republic member worlds.  Decimated Khomm, 
  Lur, Columus and Arkania economically.
  Statue 312b (21BBY): This constitutional amendment gave Core and Inner Rim worlds’ votes great weight in the Senate than 
  those from the Mid and Outer Rim. 
  Emergency Amendment 121b "Reflex Amendment" (20BBY): Cut yet more bureaucracy out of various government func-
  tions, centralizing more power.  Also gave the Chancellor the power to interfere with local planet politics and install regional 
  governors. 
  Core Worlds Security Act (20BBY): This act allowed the Core worlds to be patrolled openly by Clone Troopers in the streets in 
  response to Anti-Core terrorism funded by the Separatists.  Increased searches and seizures without due process, nearly putting 
  the Core Worlds under martial law.
  Security Act (19BBY): Passed days after the second Battle of Coruscant, this security act gave control of the Jedi High Council 
  from the Senate directly to the Chancellor, who then appointed his own representative in Anakin Skywalker.  It also removed Sen-
  ate and Jedi oversight from the military and transferred it directly to the Chancellor.
  Sector Governance Decree (19BBY): This amendment allowed greater power for Republic-installed regional governors, and 
  created the position of Sector Moff, also appointed by the Chancellor.
  Imperial Decree (19BBY): This was the official decree by which Palpatine was declared Emperor for life. 
  Emergency Military Powers Act (19BBY): A part of the Imperial Decree, allowing unprecedented military build-up.

  THE REPUBLIC
  of the Rim Faction, Senator Orn Free Taa, utilized his influence 
  within the Senate to have Mas Amedda appointed as Vice Chan-
  cellor under Supreme Chancellor Valorum in the Galactic Senate. 
  In this position of authority, Amedda could provide a subtle 
  influence on the Chancellor to the Rim Faction’s agenda.
  Mas Amedda served as Vice Chancellor during the term 
  of Valorum for one year when the Trade Federation debacle 
  transpired at Naboo. The residing Queen of Naboo, Amidala, 
  was brought before the Senate by Senator Palpatine of Naboo 
  to plead her case. When little more than debate occurred, the 
  young queen called for a Vote of No Confidence in Chancellor 
  Valorum’s leadership. Amedda was forced to maintain order in 
  the Senate Rotunda while the motion was put forth and a ruling 
  was met. After a brief voting process, Senator Palpatine was 
  elected to serve as the new Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. 
  Loyal to the Republic, Mas Amedda agreed to continue his posi-
  tion as Vice Chancellor under a new cabinet.
  For nearly a decade Mas Amedda’s unwavering loyalty to 
  Republic law and its procedures earned him the disdain of 
  many senators, but he quickly became one of Palpatine’s most 
  trusted colleagues. When the Separatist crisis began, Amedda 
  was heavily called upon by Palpatine to provide council through 
  the turmoil. When the Clone Wars began, Mas Amedda assisted 
  the Supreme Chancellor in his wartime duties. Amedda even 
  became privy to one of Palpatine’s most guarded secrets – that 
  he was the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious. Because of Mas 
  Amedda’s passion for antiquities and history, he was drawn 
  upon by Palpatine to procure various Sith artifacts from all 
  over the galaxy. Amedda’s knowledge of the Sith grew under 
  Palpatine’s guidance.
  When Palpatine’s plan unfolded and the Jedi were declared 
  traitors, Amedda continued to serve Palpatine under the new 
  rule of the Galactic Empire. Mas Amedda became Palpatine’s 
  personal liaison to the Imperial Senate, as well as his assistant in 
  all matters. Amedda was among the first to be appointed to Pal-
  patine’s inner circle of the Imperial Ruling Council. The Chagrian 
  remained under the service of the Emperor for over a decade 
  after the New Order was declared. Amedda’s whereabouts are 
  unknown, but it is rumored that he was either ejected from his 
  position or killed when the Emperor began his anti-alien agenda 
  early on in the Galactic Civil War.

  Sly Moore – Senior Administrative Aide to the 
  Chancellor
  Sly Moore was a mysterious Umbaran female who came into 
  the limelight during the administration of Supreme Chancellor 
  Palpatine. Like most Umbaran, she had an eerie calm and icy 
  demeanor. Moore was appointed to succeed Senior Adminis-
  trative Aide Sei Taria shortly following Palpatine’s rise to the 
  office of the Supreme Chancellor. Many speculated that Moore 
  used her species’ innate abilities of influence and persuasion to 
  convince Taria to resign from her position and secure her rank in 
  the Galactic Senate; however, these allegations had no real basis 
  on fact.
  As chief assistant to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Moore 
  worked primarily behind the scenes. Sly would often arrange 
  secret meetings and form clandestine agreements with various 
  senators and governing bodies to accumulate more authority for 
  her benefactor. One such instance took place during the crisis at 
  Praesitlyn in the thirtieth month of the Clone Wars.  Moore was 
  given permission by Palpatine to offer Glithnos senator Jannie 
  Ha’Nook plenipotentiary ambassadorship in the Sluis sector 
  provided she offer her full support to devote a compliment of 
  Coruscant-based clonetroopers to the fight at Praesitlyn.
  When the New Order was declared, Moore remained one of 
  Palpatine’s closet confidants. Moore had been aware of Palpa-
  tine’s hidden agenda as well as his true identity almost from 
  the start. She was admitted membership into the Emperor’s 
  Imperial Ruling Council. By the Emperor’s will, Sly Moore’s duties 
  expanded to tracking down remaining Jedi Knights and other

  Force-sensitive individuals using a vast spy network. Moore used 
  her intense powers of persuasion to corrupt any such individuals 
  unfortunate enough to be located to the Dark Side. Those who 
  resisted her allure were subsequently handed over to beings the 
  likes of Darth Vader where they met with a gruesome fate. Sly 
  Moore’s fate is presently a mystery, although it can be specu-
  lated that she continued her work for the Emperor as Umbaran 
  spies were used heavily during the Imperial reign.

  Kinman Doriana – Chief Aide to the Chancellor
  Kinman Doriana was one of Palpatine's chief aides through-
  out his political career, stretching all the way back to his bid for 
  Senator of Naboo. Officially, Doriana kept Senator Palpatine's 
  schedule, and also acted as his representative on other planets 
  on observations and fact-finding missions. Unofficially, Doriana 
  was contacted and employed by Darth Sidious, who used the 
  shrewd man's guile and intellect to further his own mysterious 
  ends. What Kinman Doriana did not know, however, was that 
  Palpatine and Sidious were the same man. Kinman Doriana 
  accompanied Palpatine often, even to unofficial functions. It 
  was not at all uncommon for Doriana to sit alongside fellow 
  aides of Palpatine such as Sate Pestage and Sly Moore while 
  taking in an opera, as it was common practice for major politi-
  cal deals to be hammered out at high-class social functions. 
  Doriana often went above and beyond his job title, it was even 
  rumored that he entered into a relationship with Sei Tiera, 
  aide to Chancellor Valorum, merely to gather information for 
  Palpatine. When Palpatine was elected Chancellor, Doriana rose 
  in rank with him, acting as one of his chief advisors.
  Five years prior to the Clone Wars, Kinman Doriana was 
  tasked by Darth Sidious to dispose of Outbound Flight, a large 
  colony ship with over a dozen Jedi onboard. Doriana's goal 
  required him to tax his skills of manipulation to their utmost, 
  beginning with political maneuvering to get Outbound Flight 
  launched, funded and crewed. Doriana managed to do this 
  through a very complicated series of manipulations on the 
  backward planet of Barlok. There he sent C'boath to negoti-
  ate a peace settlement between two opposing factions, while 
  organizing a splinter group of one side to fire a missile attack on 
  the peace summit. C'boath, of course, saved the day, and was 
  hailed a hero throughout the Republic. C'boath's profile raised 
  thus, it was politically impossible to deny him his Outbound 
  Flight. Doriana convinced Palpatine to make him liaison to the 
  Chancellor's office for Outbound Flight, giving him access to the 
  passenger list and flight plan.
  Doriana reported his findings to his master, revealing the 
  passenger and crew list. Nineteen Jedi were onboard, including 
  Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Furious at the wrinkle in 
  his plans, Sidious sent Doriana to continue his mission, but made 
  note that Kenobi and Skywalker would have to be removed from 
  the ship before the ambush took place. Doriana, using the alias 
  Commander Stratis, met with Vicelord Siv Kav of the Trade Fed-
  eration to organize the ambush along the known flight plan of 
  Outbound Flight. His fleet consisted of six Techno Union Hard-
  cell-Class transports and two Droid Control Ships possessed of 
  three-thousand vulture droid fighters. While awaiting Outbound 
  Flight, however, the fleet was challenged by Task Force Com-
  mander Thrawn of the Chiss Ascendancy, who was numerically 
  inferior. Much to Doriana's protest, Vicelord Kav launched an 
  all-out attack, and was summarily decimated by Thrawn, who 
  then took Doriana, Kav and their crew as prisoners.
  Knowing that failing to destroy Outbound Flight would mean 
  his death, Kinman Doriana desperately tried to salvage the situa-
  tion by convincing Commander Thrawn to destroy Outbound 
  Flight for him. Doriana was able to convince Thrawn that the 
  Jedi would mean trouble for the Chiss Ascendancy, and after a 
  few days of comfortable imprisonment on his own ship, Doriana 
  decided the only way to get his mission back on track was to 
  reveal everything to Thrawn. Kinman Doriana informed Thrawn 
  of a new galactic threat revealed to him by Darth Sidious, the 
  Far-Outsiders, who would later become known as the Yuuzhan-

  THE REPUBLIC
  Vong. Doriana explained how the Republic was ill-equipped to 
  deal with such a threat, and that Darth Sidious was undertak-
  ing a campaign to put the Republic in a position to defeat the 
  Far-Outsiders. Doriana also explained how letting the Jedi-led 
  Outbound Flight continue on its mission would invite contact 
  with the Far-Outsiders too early, causing a galactic invasion long 
  before the Republic would be prepared for it.
  Then Doriana did the unthinkable, he contacted Darth Sidi-
  ous in Thrawn's presence. Sidious confirmed everything Kinman 
  Doriana had said, and Thrawn seemed convinced, Outbound 
  Flight would not pass. Unfortunately for Doriana, Thrawn had 
  devised an entirely different plan for dealing with Outbound 
  Flight. Instead of destroying the vessel outright, he merely 
  disabled every weapon system while launching his main assault 
  against the Vagaari, a militant expansionist species that had 
  been at war with the Chiss for years. Doriana realized that the 
  Chiss Ascendancy had already had contact with the Yuuzhan 
  Vong, and because it was tactically unsound to fight a battle on 
  two fronts, needed to fully eliminate the threat of the Vagaari. 
  However, Doriana's mission was saved when Thrawn's miscal-
  culation of the power of the Force bore fruit. Thrawn contacted 
  Master C'boath to accept his surrender, when the mad Jedi 
  Master began Force choking Thrawn. Desperate, Doriana hit a 
  red button on the console where he noticed Thrawn's finger 
  had been hovering. In response, modified droid starfighters 
  outfitted with radiation bombs crashed into Outbound Flight, 
  killing nearly all onboard, and releasing the dark grip on Thrawn's 
  throat.
  Doriana was then brought before Chiss nobility, who wanted 
  to charge Doriana, Thrawn and Jorj Car'das with a number of 
  crimes, and negotiate who would claim the wreckage of Out-
  bound Flight. Doriana watched with awe as Thrawn proved to 
  be as adept in negotiation as he was in tactical command. Out-
  bound Flight suddenly jumped into hyperspace, not to be heard 
  from for over half a century. Doriana, Thrawn and Car'das were 
  allowed to go free. Vicelord Kav was intent on killing Thrawn, as 
  he clearly knew far too much to be allowed to live. While Kav, 
  Thrawn and Doriana were alone, Kav pulled Doriana's blaster 
  and tried to kill Thrawn. Unfortunately for Kav, a reverse-polar-
  ity shield had been erected, and the blaster bolt killed Vicelord 
  Kav instead of his intended target. Alone, Thrawn revealed 
  to Doriana that he had battled the Far Outsiders already, and 
  provided him with a set of tactical readouts on Outsider craft 
  to bring to Darth Sidious. Doriana returned to the Republic with 
  Jorj Car'das, whom he worked with to set up a vast information 
  network that would later be inherited by Talon Karrde.
  A month before the Clone Wars erupted, Doriana made 
  an appearance on Amberdawn, a popular morning talk show 
  focused on political commentary on Coruscant. There, he was 
  responding to comments made by Brookish Boon, who asserted 
  that the Loyalist Committee was nothing more than a shadow 
  government. Doriana laughed the comment off, stating that 
  it was not very deep in the shadows if someone as myopic as 
  Brookish Boon had managed to spot it. Two weeks later he was 
  at a Refugee Relief Movement fundraiser on Alsakan with Chan-
  cellor Palpatine and fellow Aide Sly Moore.
  As the Clone Wars spread their fire throughout the galaxy, 
  Kinman Doriana found himself thrust into the middle of the 
  conflict by both of his masters. Palpatine frequently sent him to 
  negotiate on his behalf or observe various assets and battle-
  grounds throughout the Republic, while Sidious often provided 
  him with additional objectives to further his own manipulation 
  of the war. The largest such mission came one year into the 
  Clone Wars, when Doriana was sent to Cartao under the false 
  mission of investigating the loss of a private citizen's company 
  due to a poorly worded local law on behalf of Palpatine's office, 
  to show the Chancellor was a man of the people, even during 
  wartime. Covertly, however, Doriana's mission focused around 
  Spaarti Creations, a special factory that, because of the indig-
  enous alien Cransoc, was able to completely retool overnight. 
  This unique trait made the factory a potentially major asset to 
  either side in the Clone Wars.
  Doriana was led on a tour of the facilities, and after infecting 
  some workers with a harmless bug, was able to call a quaran-
  tine on the factory due to an "outbreak" of Plyridian Plague. It 
  was easy for Doriana to then strong-arm Lord Binale and Jedi 
  Knight Jafer Torles into allowing a small group of Clones and 
  Republic workers to covertly take over the plant for four weeks 
  to construct several thousand new cloning cylinders, capable of 
  growing clones in a tenth the time of their Kaminoan predeces-
  sors. Two weeks after the Republic began production of their 
  new clone tanks, the Separatists attacked en force. The tide of 
  battle changed hands several times as both sides fought without 
  allowing any actual harm to come to the plant itself. Doriana 
  kept in contact with Darth Sidious throughout the nearly three-
  week ordeal, working with him to manipulate both sides into 
  exactly the position their plan required. During the final pitched 
  battle, the Republic troops fell back on order of an assault 
  shuttle crewed by several Jedi. However, both sides watched in 
  horror as the shuttle, instead of attacking the Separatist posi-
  tions, attacked the factory itself and then crashed directly into 
  it. The resulting explosion killed all the skilled native Cransoc, 
  and destroyed the factory, putting an end to the threat posed by 
  Spaarti Creations.
  In addition to destroying the factory, the Jedi were blamed 
  for its needless destruction, which was sure to cause untold 
  economic devastation for the entire Prackla Sector. The clone 
  tanks themselves found their way to Palpatine's storehouse on 
  Wayland and a Separatist stronghold on Saleucami. Kinman 
  Doriana continued to serve Palpatine throughout the Clone

  very little change to his position, remaining at the right-hand

  bear the name "Emperor's Hand," a role that, after his untimely 
  death sometime leading up to the Galactic Civil War, was filled 
  by many other beings, namely Mara Jade.

  Dar Wac – Executive Administrator
  Executive Administrator Dar Wac was one of many of Chan-
  cellor Palpatine's loyal aides. As with most of Palpatine's aides 
  and advisors, Wac was often charged with controlling access to 
  Palpatine by visitors to the Office of the Supreme Chancellor. 
  Dar Wac was fiercely loyal to Palpatine, but it is believed he had 
  no idea the man was actually a Sith Lord. Just prior to the Clone 
  Wars, Dar Wac held the recently formed Loyalist Committee 
  outside the Chancellor's office while he took a meeting with 
  the Jedi. After a small measure of diplomatic stalling, Dar Wac 
  interrupted the meeting to inform the Chancellor of his visitors. 
  Palpatine ordered Wac to send them in, another typical day on 
  Coruscant.
  Twenty-two months into the Clone Wars, Senator Onaconda 
  Farr of Rodia was accused of corruption when he bungled the 
  defense of the Corellian Trade Spine. As a result of this, many 
  Rodians in Coruscant politics were questioned and investigated, 
  including Dar Wac. Fortunately, the loyal Executive Administra-
  tor was absolved of any wrongdoing, and was able to return to 
  work shortly afterward. Fourteen months later, at the end of 
  the Clone Wars, Dar Wac would be working in Palpatine's front 
  office when Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, and Agen Kolar 
  would barge in to arrest the Chancellor. Dar Wac muttered a 
  feeble protest before the Jedi called upon the Force, smashing 
  him into a wall and knocking him unconscious for the duration 
  of the attempted arrest.
  Dar Wac maintained his position only shortly after the birth 
  of the Galactic Empire. It is believed that, eventually, the advent 
  of Human High Culture in the Core Worlds drove him back to his 
  home world of Rodia. Executive Administrator Dar Wac's fate, 
  however, is uncertain.

  Sate Pestage - Advisor
  Sate Pestage is perhaps the one man trusted by Darth Sidi-
  ous, also known as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Of all the 
  aides and advisors with access to Palpatine, Sate Pestage has 
  been with him since before he became Senator of Naboo. Very 
  few secrets were withheld from Pestage, and he was one of the 
  very few to know of Palpatine's dual life. Pestage often was sent 
  on assignment as a cleaner to maintain Palpatine's secret iden-
  tity and prevent anyone from tracking the activities of Darth 
  Sidious back to the Chancellor.

  THE REPUBLIC
  One of many such assignments was undertaken nearly eleven 
  years before the eruption of the Clone Wars. A Sando Aqua 
  Monster had beached itself on Naboo, and in its fury at finding 
  land, it uncovered one of Sidious' secret strongholds, which was 
  soon discovered by Kroke Modbom and a man named Veermok, 
  local to Naboo. In order to cover up the incident, Sate Pestage 
  was sent to Naboo to strong-arm King Veruna and the Royal 
  Security Forces into doing his bidding. An arrest order was put 
  out for Kroke, who was then officially extradited to Coruscant, 
  but mysteriously died during transit. Before taking off, however, 
  Pestage went to the underground bunker himself to remove any 
  connection to Sidious, as well as a few important Sith artifacts. 
  During his covert activities, he stumbled across Veermok, who 
  was trying to escape from then Lt. Panaka of the Royal Naboo 
  Security Forces. Happy at the opportunity to tie up the final 
  loose end, Pestage shot Veermok in seeming self-defense. While 
  Panaka protested the incident, Pestage was able to apply lever-
  age to King Veruna, and Sidious secret lair was destroyed by a 
  flight of Naboo N-1 Starfighters before a proper investigation 
  could be performed.
  Less than a year later, Pestage had returned to Coruscant 
  and accompanied Senator Palpatine to most functions, while 
  continuing to do his dirty work. He would stand by Palpatine at 
  varied senate gatherings, such as Orn Free Taa's private viewing 
  box at the Coruscant Opera, where he was able to check for 
  listening devices, or a secret meeting with terrorist organization 
  Nebula Front leader, Havac, to arrange the slaughter of Trade 
  Federation delegates, which would put the Neimoidians firmly in 
  control of the vast trade organization. Pestage was even present 
  next to his master alongside Kinman Doriana at the Eriadu Trade 
  Summit, where the assassination took place. Pestage person-
  ally was responsible for setting up "baseless" accusations of 
  corruption against Supreme Chancellor Valorum when he sliced 
  Orn Free Taa's personal computer and planted circumstantial 
  evidence that Valorum had arranged the theft of several auro-
  dium ingots.
  After the Battle of Naboo, Pestage's patron had positioned 
  himself to be elected new Supreme Chancellor of the Republic 
  Senate. With this promotion for Palpatine, came the title of 
  Controller of the Senate's Executive Agenda for Sate Pestage. 
  This allowed him a longer arm with which to help Palpatine 
  manipulate the Senate, but Pestage remained close to Palpatine, 
  managing much of his day to day schedule over the following 
  ten years. He even made public appearances and statements on 
  the Chancellor's behalf, often to deny rumors on the Holonet 
  about Palpatine's political policies or supposed declining health.  
  Pestage served Palpatine loyally over the course of the Clone 
  Wars, buying him time in his agenda when he had to make 
  contact with minions as Darth Sidious, and running much of the 
  day to day bureaucracy of the Republic. Pestage most contrib-
  uted to Palpatine's cause, however, by expanding the emergency 
  powers granted to him by the Senate at the onslaught of the 
  Clone Wars. Pestage was renowned for his silver tongue, and 
  persuaded many senators who were initially against central-
  izing any more power to the Office of the Chancellor to become 
  whole-hearted supporters. 
  A month before the end of the Clone Wars, Pestage had the 
  unenviable position of trying to keep many members of the Loy-
  alist Committee from seeing the Chancellor. The Committee was 
  hoping to convince Palpatine to lay down most of his emergency 
  powers and restore democracy. Palpatine and Pestage often 
  worked together to play small power games with those wishing 
  to speak with the Chancellor. Pestage was more than willing 
  to be seen as a bureaucratic roadblock while the Chancellor 
  appeared friendly and more than willing to help. During many of 
  these delaying tactics, Palpatine would suddenly happen across 
  the waiting party, and act pleasantly surprised to see them 
  before inviting them back to his office and telling them that he 
  did not know they were waiting. Of course, after a day of wait-
  ing, even bodies as determined as the Loyalist Committee grow 
  weary and are not at their most sharp. 
  A month later, Pestage was in a high level meeting with 
  the Chancellor and the Jedi Council, and pointed out what a 
  stalemate the war had become. Of all Palpatine's aides, Pestage 
  tended to side with the Jedi most publicly, while siding against 
  the Republic Senate. This was but one of the many subtle ploys 
  Pestage performed for Sidious to further the divide between the 
  Jedi and the people of the Republic. When Coruscant was finally 
  assaulted by General Grievous, Pestage begged Chancellor 
  Palpatine to accept the Jedi protection even as he protested its 
  need to the Jedi. Days later, Mace Windu suspected Pestage of 
  possibly being Darth Sidious, completely unaware it was actually 
  Palpatine until Anakin Skywalker informed him a few days later. 
  Barely a week after the Battle over Coruscant, the Jedi were 
  eliminated and Palpatine was declared Emperor for life. Pestage 
  himself received another promotion alongside his master, and 
  was named Grand Vizier, and given personal stewardship of the 
  Ciutric Hegemony, a small cluster of planets. During the first 
  week of the Galactic Empire's existence, Pestage was instrumen-
  tal in transitioning elements of the Old Republic. He performed 
  duties that varied widely, getting involved in matters as small 
  as Squib attempts at salvaging Clone Wars orbital wrecks, to 
  getting a full accounting of the death of each Jedi, and making a 
  There were many other Senators in the Old Republic that 
  served in office during the Clone Wars, some of which are 
  listed here.
  Senator Eeshrin Ot'Hyne: This Caamasi Senator from 
  Caamas was vehemently opposed to the Military Creation 
  Act, going so far as to debate via article on the Holonet with 
  Judicial Terrinald Screed.
  Senator Galen Derlin: Father of future Alliance Major 
  Bren Derlin, Senator Derlin served his homeworld of Tiisher-
  aan as Senator during the Clone Wars.  He was a known 
  associate of Senator Bail Organa, and withdrew from politics 
  as soon as the Galactic Empire was Declared.  He was assas-
  sinated soon afterward.
  Senator Aregram Tashrikam: Both Prince and Senator 
  of his homeworld of Grizmallt, Tashrikam and his father were 
  close associates of both Chancellor Palpatine and Senate 
  Vice-Chair Mas Amedda.  Senator Tashrikam’s support con-
  tinued throughout the reign of the Empire.  He was killed be 
  Palpatine years later after asking to be elevated to the rank 
  of Moff.
  Senator Zafiel Snopps: Consummate businessman and 
  Senator of Corulag, representing the entire Bormea Sector, 
  Senator Snopps was a staunch supporter of Palpatine.  His 
  loyalty earned Corulag an Imperial Academy as soon as the 
  Empire was declared, and a promotion to Governor.

  list of those whose fate was unknown. He also reported updates 
  on ongoing projects to Palpatine, including the elimination of 
  anti-imperial officers taken in from the Old Republic, and the 
  dispatch of 501st Stormtrooper Legion troops to New Plympto 
  to decimate the rebellion forming there. 
  Of course, with the rise of the Empire, there was a new Sith 
  Apprentice, Lord Vader. Grand Vizier Pestage took his public 
  demotion to Palpatine's third in command rather well, even 
  serving alongside Vader in some instances, though this was 
  perhaps because Pestage remained Palpatine's most trusted 
  confidante. In one instance, Pestage was sent to Alderaan 
  alongside Lord Vader to ensure the death or capture of Senator 
  Fang Zar, and to evaluate both Bail Organa's loyalty, and Vader's 
  emotional state. Pestage reported on all three matters directly 
  to the Emperor. 
  For well over the next two decades, Pestage served Palpatine 
  ably, and to protect his most trusted aide, Palpatine had a clone 
  decoy grown from a Spaarti cloning cylinder. The Clone was 
  considered rather insane, and was kept in stasis for a time until 
  just before the destruction of the second Death Star at Endor. 
  Upon the death of Palpatine, the true Pestage followed his 
  master's spirit to Jeng Droga on Kaal and brought Jeng Droga to 
  the Emperor's Sanctuary on Byss in the Deep Core. There he was 
  able to follow arcane rituals to transfer Palpatine's spirit into 
  one of the Emperor's prepared clone bodies. 
  Together, the two watched as Pestage's clone took over the 
  remnants of the Empire alongside Director of Imperial Intel-
  ligence Ysanne Isard. Pestage's clone had several run-ins with 
  Rogue Squadron, and was eventually killed by Admiral Krennel 
  after trying to defect to the New Republic, who had granted 
  him asylum after he found out Isard was trying to supplant him. 
  Then, six years after the apparent death of Emperor Palpatine, 
  Pestage and Palpatine brought the Empire back in full force 
  with a new super weapon, the Galaxy Gun. Sate Pestage was 
  finally killed when the galaxy gun destroyed Byss due to rebel 
  sabotage.

  Finis Valorum – Former Supreme Chancellor of 
  the Republic
  Finis Valorum came from an ancient lineage of noblemen and 
  government officials. During his political career, Valorum served 
  as the senator of the Lytton sector for a number of years before 
  being appointed to the cabinet of Chancellor Kalpana some 
  twenty years before the Clone Wars began. He held a number of 
  political achievements, including acting as a negotiator during 
  the Stark Hyperspace War. Like those in his family before him, 
  Valorum lacked initiative and opted to follow procedure even 
  when it may have not been the best course of action.
  When Chancellor Kalpana’s term in office had expired a year 
  later, Valorum ran for office and with the help of those such as 
  the Tarkin family and the Core Faction of senators he won the 
  election, becoming Kalpana’s successor as Supreme Chancellor 
  of the Republic. Many believed that Finis attained this position 
  based solely on his heritage and connections, not his actual 
  political acumen. Despite lacking a charismatic demeanor and 
  neglecting to deflect a myriad of negative claims against his 
  person, Valorum was re-elected and served two four-year terms 
  consecutively. It was in the beginning of his second term that 
  Chancellor Valorum was first introduced to Senator Palpatine of 
  Naboo, and the two quickly became allies. This allegiance would 
  falter years later, however.
  Ten years before the Clone Wars gripped the galaxy after a 
  fierce struggle between the Trade Federation and the Nebula 
  Front, Palpatine and Valorum devised a bill that would instate 
  heavy taxes on free trade routes throughout the galaxy in an 
  effort to appease the Front while also assisting in the reduc-
  tion the Republic’s galactic debt. Outraged, the Trade Federation 
  established an embargo on Palpatine’s home planet of Naboo in 
  effort to establish negotiations to eliminate the trade tax. One 
  of Valorum’s trusted Jedi political advisors, Adi Gallia, learned of 
  this incident very early on and Valorum dispatched Jedi Master 
  Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi to Naboo 
  to force a settlement with the Trade Federation. In a startling 
  move, the Trade Federation attempted to kill the Jedi and

  THE REPUBLIC
  promptly invaded the planet, occupying its capital of Theed and 
  imprisoning the Naboo people.
  The resident Queen of Naboo, Amidala, managed to escape 
  with the help of the Jedi and retreated to Coruscant to plead 
  their case to the Senate. Valorum understood her plight and was 
  eager to help. However, when the case was brought before the 
  Senate the delegates of the Trade Federation demanded a com-
  mission be sent to Naboo to verify the Queen’s claims, possibly 
  delaying the motion for weeks or even months. Valorum being 
  a stickler for procedure agreed to the Trade Federation senator’s 
  demands, but Amidala would have nothing of the sort. The 
  Naboo Queen, acting on the suggestion from Senator Palpatine, 
  called for a vote of no confidence in Valorum’s leadership. 
  Unable to reach a dissolution, and unwilling to see his 
  cabinet members forced from their positions by an election 
  process, Valorum took the only remaining option and resigned 
  as Chancellor. For over two years Valorum lived in seclusion 
  from the galaxy at large. After emerging from his isolation, Finis 
  began work with the Refugee Relief Movement on Alderaan 
  and came to know Bail Organa. He also wrote and published his 
  autobiography, entitled Holding Back the Tide. 
  Sixteen months after the Battle of Geonosis gave way to the 
  Clone Wars, an attack was made on Bail Organa’s life by space 
  pirates. Valorum returned to Coruscant to provide council to his 
  old friend Bail Organa while voicing his concerns for the state of 
  the Republic. The former Chancellor had come to believe that it 
  was Palpatine that was ultimately behind the attacks on Organa 
  - hoping that with Organa out of the way, the newly proposed 
  Security and Enforcement Act would more easily be made 
  into law. Upon conclusion of his meeting with the Alderaanian 
  senator, he took his leave onboard his private transport the Star 
  of Iskin. Mere moments after take-off, the transport exploded, 
  killing Valorum and all onboard. The Confederacy was publicly 
  blamed for Valorum’s death, although Organa began to have his 
  suspicions about Palpatine. Shortly after his death, Finis Valorum 
  was honored by the Republic with the Finis Valorum Memorial 
  that was erected in Monument Square.

  Ask Aak – Republic Senator of Malastare
  The representative of the planet Malastare, Ask Aak was 
  sworn into office after his predecessor Senator Aks Moe was 
  killed in a horrific traffic accident that was perpetrated by 
  Separatist assassins two months before the Clone Wars began. 
  Ask Aak was quickly counted among those of the Loyalist Com-
  mittee, heavily supporting Palpatine. Like his predecessor, Ask 
  Aak was an extremely vocal member of the senate, passionately 
  speaking on his views on the Senate floor. Ask Aak was a major 
  proponent of the Military Creation Act in the few months he 
  held his position before the Clone Wars.
  While attending the funeral of his forerunner, Ask Aak and 
  the other members of the procession were ambushed by a mob 
  of Dug activists, protesting the treatment of the native Dugs on 
  Malastare. Ask Aak was whisked away by his security team as 
  the protestors flew pod racers through the memorial tapestry, 
  desecrating the procession as the family and friends of Aks Moe 
  looked on in horror. Malastare had long been mired in disputes 
  between the original inhabitants of the planet and the Grans 
  who laid settlement the world. Aks Moe had been seen as a 
  butcher to many Dugs on Malastare. This reputation unequivo-
  cally rubbed off on his successor as members of the Dugs-
  for-Democracy movement stood outside the Senate Rotunda 
  protesting his appointment to the Senate.
  The following month, Ask Aak was forced to deal with 
  increasing hostility on his homeworld. Several bomb threats had 
  been made on a major starport in Pixelito. To quell any possible 
  act of violence, Ask Aak ordered that all Dugs employed at Port 
  Pixelito to be laid off from work. In order to offset the shortage 
  in laborers from the void created by over sixty percent of their

  workers being put on suspension, Ask Aak negotiated a deal with 
  the Trade Federation. In a public display of good will, the Trade 
  Federation donated forty-five thousand surplus PK droids to 
  assist the Port Pixelito Authority.
  In the days leading up to the Clone Wars, Ask Aak accom-
  panied his fellow Loyalist Committee members to a private 
  meeting with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. A transmission 
  from Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi had been received by the Jedi 
  Council attesting to a massive droid army being assembled by 
  the Separatists on Geonosis. Ask Aak insisted that there was no 
  other course of action but to force the Military Creation Act into 
  law. Unfortunately the Senate was still split on the matter and 
  the majority would most likely oppose it. Senate Speaker Mas 
  Amedda proposed that Chancellor Palpatine be granted emer-
  gency powers so that he could approve the Military Creation 
  Act uncontested. Ask Aak was fully in favor of this move, but it 
  came to Representative Jar Jar Binks of Naboo to propose the 
  Emergency Powers Act.
  During the Clone Wars, much of Ask Aak’s time was occupied 
  by military matters conducted by the Senate Oversight Commit-
  tee. Although he was in favor of the Military Creation Act and 
  the utilization of a clone army in the name of the Republic, Ask 
  Aak had reservations about the Jedi and their part in the war. 
  The senator felt that the Jedi vow as peace keepers had nothing 
  to do with partaking in military matters and that appointing 
  them as commanders in the war was a poor decision. Ask Aak 
  was already particularly vocal about his views and was very 
  opinionated at how the war with the Separatists should be 
  fought, which only worsened after the midpoint of the war.
  The Jedi led a campaign on the planets of Jabiim and 
  Parcelus Minor and suffered horrendous defeats at the hands 
  of the Confederacy and its allies throughout the fifteenth and 
  sixteenth months of the Clone Wars. This merely served as fuel 
  to Ask Aak’s argument that the Jedi were out of their league and 
  took particular skepticism towards Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis. In 
  the seventeenth month of the war, former Supreme Chancellor 
  Valorum was assassinated in a starship bombing on Coruscant 
  and Ask Aak saw it as the last straw. In response to the increas-
  ingly daring moves being made by the Separatists on the lives 
  of political members of the Republic the Security and Enforce-
  ment Act was proposed, and Ask Aak became champion to this 
  proposed amendment.

  Bail Organa – Alderaan Viceroy and Republic 
  Senator
  This senator was born Bail Prestor Organa some forty-seven 
  years before the onset of the Clone Wars. From an early age Bail 
  had been groomed and prepared to take a seat in the Republic 
  Senate for his home planet. When Bail was a young politician 
  the position of Alderaan’s Viceroy became open and controversy 
  over the lineage of ascendancy to the throne. Several Royal 
  families held claims to the Alderaanian Royal throne but even 
  through political maneuvering and lobbying of each family, the 
  planet’s government was unable to decide on a candidate to the 
  throne. 
  The Jedi Order was forced to step in at the behest of 
  Chancellor Finis Valorum to help resolve the matter. Jedi Master 
  Jorus C’baoth was dispatched and after much deliberation, the 
  tribunal decided that the Royal House of Organa was chosen to 
  assume the throne. As Prince of the House Organa, Bail Organa 
  became the Viceroy and First Chairman of the planet Alderaan 
  with his wife Breha serving by his side as Queen. He also suc-
  ceeded his father-in-law, Bail Antilles, as Senator of Alderaan in 
  the Republic’s Galactic Senate.
  Bail Organa served Alderaan on the Galactic Senate for 
  nearly a decade when the threat of the Clone Wars emerged. 
  During his term in the Senate he fought hard for the rights of 
  immigrants and refugees. He heavily supported the Refugee 
  Relief Movement and it was here that he came into contact 
  with like-minded individuals such as Senators Padmé Amidala 
  of Naboo, Mon Mothma of Chandrilla, and Silya Shessaun of 
  Thesme. Over the years, Bail had established himself as a senator 
  of the highest caliber, and was appointed to the Loyalist Com-
  mittee by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

  THE REPUBLIC
  Approximately one year before the Clone Wars, Bail Organa 
  had managed to loosen the immigration restriction on his 
  homeworld to ease the increasing numbers of refugees coming 
  to the Republic for aid when the Separatist crisis began forcing 
  them from their homes. He was champion to the less fortunate 
  citizens of the Republic and defended their rights in the Senate 
  by strictly opposing any bill that was brought to the table that 
  took advantage of the impoverished. Organa was extremely 
  vocal in his opposition of the Military Creation Act, which called 
  for the formation of a standing Republic army in case the Sepa-
  ratist conflict erupted into war. Bail was convinced that the scis-
  sion wouldn’t lead to outright conflict and that the creation of 
  such an army would only escalate tension between the Republic 
  and the newly formed Separatist group.
  When the Separatist’s intentions to secede from the Republic 
  forcibly became apparent, Bail quieted his concerns on the 
  Military Creation Act. He was an avid supporter of Chancellor 
  Palpatine and didn’t object when Representative Jar Jar Binks 
  of Naboo called for the vote on the Emergency Powers Act, an 
  amendment that would grant the Chancellor more authority 
  over the Republic without question from the Senate. Before he 
  knew it, the Clone Wars were under way, and military strategy 
  had become part of his day-to-day agenda as a member of the 
  Senate Oversight Committee. Bail began spending less of his 
  time in the Senate on matters of state, and more on fleet coor-
  dination and strategy with Palpatine and the Jedi Order.
  As the Clone Wars progressed, a greater number of decisions 
  on the war were placed by Chancellor Palpatine as the voices 
  of the Senators were slowly stripped away by amendment after 
  amendment. Bail Organa was appointed to oversee collateral 
  effects of the war by devoting his attention to the increasing 
  amount of pirate activity that had been taking advantage of 
  the Republic’s focus on battling with the Confederacy. During 
  the seventeenth month of the Clone Wars, Bail Organa was 
  ambushed by pirates and his ship was boarded. He was able to 
  send out a distress signal, and it was answered by Jedi Masters 
  Adi Gallia and Plo Koon. Through their combined efforts they 
  were able to defeat the pirates and continue their mission bat-
  tling pirates near Varonat. 
  Due to this personal attack on Organa’s life, the Senate 
  passed the Security and Enforcement Act, yielding more powers 
  to the Supreme Chancellor. Organa protested this amendment 
  but his voice was drowned out by the thousands of senators that 
  were in favor of the bill, claiming Organa was skirting on treason 
  for his words. Following the session Organa was counseled by 
  the former Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum and was urged 
  to be mindful of Palpatine, and that the residing Chancellor 
  was not to be trusted. Shortly after their meeting, Valorum was 
  killed in a shuttle bombing that was covered by the media as 
  a terrorist bombing. Organa began to grow wary of Chancellor 
  Palpatine.
  In the thirty-second month of the Clone Wars, Bail Organa 
  received a distress call onboard his warship Intervention from 
  General Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. The two had 
  just encountered the Separatist commanders Asajj Ventress and 
  Durge and escaped with information that could prove vital to 
  the Confederates’ whereabouts. After an analysis of the infor-
  mation the Jedi had obtained they learned that the Separatists 
  had a fleet of warships stationed on the graveyard planet of Boz 
  Pity. The warship needed to jump in closer to the planet to avoid 
  an outright confrontation with the enemy vessels so Anakin 
  Skywalker plotted the hyperspace jump. However, Skywalker 
  made a minor mistake in the calculations and the Intervention 
  jumped out of hyperspace too close to the planets atmosphere 
  and the Republic ship was forced to crash land on the surface. 
  Bail joined in on the fighting with the Jedi against the Con-
  federate forces. While the Jedi suffered heavy losses including 
  Jedi Masters Adi Gallia and Soon Baytes, Boz Pity was won and 
  became a staging point for the Republic’s Outer Rim Sieges.
  Organa was among a group of senators that had grown wary 
  of the Clone Wars as well as Palpatine and his emergency pow-
  ers. A petition was created pleading the Chancellor to relinquish 
  his emergency powers and reopen diplomacy with the Confed-
  eracy so that a peaceful resolution could be met. The petition 
  was signed by nearly two-thousand senators of the Republic 
  and was aptly named the Petition of Two-thousand. Those who 
  had signed this document were considered the Delegation of 
  Two-thousand. This delegation was looked on by the other sena-
  tors of the Republic as traitors. When Palpatine refused to the 
  terms of this petition opting to stay the course and see the war 
  with the Confederates through to the end, Bail began meeting 
  secretly with several members of the Delegation of Two-thou-
  sand in his apartment named Cantham House to discuss the 
  possibility of breaking away from the Republic and siding with 
  neither the Republic nor the Confederacy. No conclusions were 
  met, and Amidala warned Organa to tread lightly about the 
  matter.
  When a full-scale assault was launched by the Confederacy 
  on the Republic capital of Coruscant in the final days of the 
  Clone Wars, Bail was staying in his apartment at the Senate 
  Apartment Complex. During the chaos he accompanied the 
  Chandrillan senator Mon Mothma, and Padmé Amidala to the 
  Senate’s bomb shelters located deep within the bowels of the 
  city-planet. On their way they ran into Jedi Masters Shaak-Ti and 
  Stass Allie who were attempting to locate the Chancellor, and

  the Jedi lent their speeder to the senators. Bail piloted the air 
  speeder through the skyways of Coruscant towards the shelter, 
  but they were ambushed by Confederate vulture droids. Their 
  transport was hit by enemy fire and Bail was forced to crash 
  land the speeder in an isolated square. Amidala and Organa took 
  up arms against a swarm of battle droids, strategically retreat-
  ing and taking cover to bring their attackers out into the open. 
  Once Bail and Padmé had achieved their goal, an air strike from 
  Republic gunships decimated the droids allowing the senators 
  to make it to the safety of the shelters for the remainder of the 
  battle.
  In the days following the Second Battle of Coruscant, the 
  Jedi Temple on Coruscant came under siege from an unknown 
  attacker. Bail Organa raced to the temple to provide whatever 
  assistance he could. When he arrived he discovered that the 
  501st clone trooper legion were the aggressors and claimed 
  that the Jedi were staging a revolt. Organa watched helplessly 
  as Republic clone troopers gunned down Padawan Zett Jukassa 
  in his attempt to flee the carnage. Organa fled the scene under 
  duress and vowed to do what he could to prevent any more Jedi 
  from falling into this catastrophe. 
  Organa took flight in his personal courier ship, Tantive IV, in 
  search of any Jedi survivors. He successfully located and rescued 
  Jedi Master Yoda after the miniature Jedi Master escaped from 
  his own troops attempting to kill him on Kashyyyk. The pair then 
  came into contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi who had evaded similar 
  events on Utapau. Organa informed the two Jedi of the mas-
  sacre at the Jedi Temple and Kenobi and Yoda devised a plan to 
  infiltrate the temple to disable the emergency beacon calling all 
  Jedi back to Coruscant where they’d be falling into a trap. 
  While in orbit over Coruscant, Organa was informed of a spe-
  cial convening of the Senate. While Obi-Wan and Yoda gained 
  entrance to the Jedi Temple to modify the beacon to warn any 
  surviving Jedi away from the capital, Organa headed to the Sen-
  ate Rotunda. In this session, Chancellor Palpatine claimed that 
  the Jedi Order had attempted to assassinate him. He deemed 
  all Jedi as enemies of the Republic and ordered their immediate 
  extermination. With his vast emergency powers obtained during 
  the course of the Clone Wars, he then declared himself Emperor 
  and the Republic as the Galactic Empire.
  Bail Organa was then contacted by Yoda and informed that 
  Palpatine was in fact a Sith Lord and must be eliminated at all 
  costs. However, Yoda failed in his attempt to defeat Palpatine 
  and was forced to flee. Organa facilitated Yoda’s escape from 
  the Senate Rotunda where he had faced the newly crowned 
  Emperor by swooping in on his personal airspeeder and ferrying 
  Yoda off to safety. Organa then smuggled Yoda off world once 
  more.
  It seemed that Kenobi was more successful in his task to 
  eliminate his former Padawan turned Sith Apprentice, Anakin 
  Skywalker. Although senator Padmé Amidala was caught in the 
  middle of the conflict and suffered Skywalker’s wrath. Injured 
  and weak, Padmé was spirited away by Kenobi to the Polis Mas-
  san medical center deep within an asteroid field and Organa 
  and Yoda hurried to Amidala’s side. However, Amidala’s injuries 
  compounded by her grief were too much and she succumbed 
  to them. The Polis Massans induced labor on the dying senator 
  in effort to save her unborn child. Much to the surprise to all 
  those involved, Padmé gave birth to twins. Bail Organa, Obi-Wan 
  Kenobi and Yoda conversed to determine the best course of 
  action on keeping the twins – Leia and Luke – out of harm’s way. 
  Bail volunteered to take Leia as his own daughter, as he and his 
  wife Breha had been attempting to conceive a child and had 
  been unsuccessful. The two Jedi decided that Luke would be best 
  placed with his family on Tatooine. Organa also came into the 
  ownership of Amidala’s droids: See Threepio and Artoo Deetoo.
  From this point on, Bail heeded the warning Padmé had told 
  him months earlier and played the part of the ‘good little sena-
  tor’. Openly he supported Palpatine and the Republic, but behind 
  closed doors he supported the formation of an Alliance to 
  Restore the Republic between several worlds including Alderaan, 
  Chandrilla and Corellia. Various members of the Delegation of 
  Two-thousand were now looked at as possible traitors of the 
  Empire and began seeing treatment as such. One such instance 
  was Sern Prime’s senator Fang Zar. Zar had been under suspicion 
  of acts of treason, was under investigation by the Empire, and 
  restricted from leaving Coruscant until the so-called investiga-
  tion was completed. Organa saw to it that Zar was smuggled off 
  of Coruscant and brought to Alderaan to seek refuge until such 
  time he could be ferried back to Sern Prime. One month after 
  the creation of the Empire, however, Organa received a guest 
  from the Empire: Darth Vader – Dark Lord of the Sith and emis-
  sary to Emperor Palpatine. Vader had discovered Zar’s where-
  abouts and came to Alderaan to collect the fugitive. Organa had 
  already arranged for a group of smugglers to sneak Zar back to 
  his home planet and were in the process of loading their secret 
  cargo when Vader arrived on Alderaan. The Dark Lord assaulted 
  the senator and his couriers on a landing platform of the Royal 
  Palace on Alderaan. The crew members of the smuggler vessel 
  Drunk Dancer were successful in escaping with their lives. Fang 
  Zar, however, was not so fortunate and was struck down by Lord 
  Vader before he could board the ship. Organa was questioned 
  heavily regarding the matter of harboring a fugitive of the 
  Empire, but was ultimately dismissed as being uninformed of 
  Zar’s criminal status and therefore not at fault.
  For over a decade Bail Organa worked to bring the Alliance 
  to Restore the Republic to reality. He envisioned a day when his 
  There were many other Senators in the Old Republic that 
  served in office during the Clone Wars, some of which are 
  listed here.
  Senator Canny Mandary Bertar: This cagey Mrlssi 
  Senator represenated her homeworld of Mrlsst as well as 
  the entire Tapani Sector during the Clone Wars, and was the 
  Chairbeing of the Senate Dispensation Committee, overlook-
  ing Republic, and later Imperial, expenditures on freelance 
  agents on a variety of assignments. 
  Senator Elsah'Sai'Moro: A Devaronian Co-Senator to the 
  planet Devaron with friend Vien’Sai’Malloc, Elsah was close 
  friends with Jedi Master T’ra Saa.  When Elsah found out her 
  fellow delegate was supporting a Separatist base on Devaron 
  in secret, she contacted her Jedi friend, but not before being 
  assassinated by Aurra Sing at Vien’Sai”Malloc’s order.
  Senator Havriso Looruya: Representative of Yir Tangee 
  and member of the Loyalist Committee, Senator Looruya was 
  later accused of corruption by Senator Onaconda Farr.  The 
  allegations were confirmed by the Judicial Department, who 
  found the Senator guilty of funding cessessionist movements 
  on Ando and Sluis Van.

  Rebel Alliance could publicly renounce the Empire and have the 
  military might to defend themselves from the consequences. 
  Organa forged as many bonds with surviving Jedi as pos-
  sible, including the former Caamasi Jedi Knight Ylenic It'kla. 
  The Caamasi Jedi had become a Trustant to his people when 
  Palpatine destroyed their home planet in an act of retaliation for 
  supposed treasonous acts against the Empire. It’kla served as a 
  personal advisor to Bail Organa in the Royal Palace in Alderaan’s 
  capital city of Aldera.
  Fourteen years after the Clone Wars had ended, Bail Organa, 
  former Chandrillan senator Mon Mothma, and former Corel-
  lian senator Garm Bel Iblis finalized their preparations and the 
  Rebel Alliance was officially created. The fledgling militant group 
  began conducting hit and fade operations on key locations of 
  the Galactic Empire. After several atrocities had occurred at 
  the hands of the Empire such as the Massacre of Ghorman, the 
  Rebel cause was bolstered by the defection of several high-
  ranking officials in the Imperial military such as Jan Dodonna 
  and Carlist Rieekan. The first great victory for the Rebellion 
  came at Toprawa in the Outer Rim when a Rebel guerilla team 
  led by Commander Bria Tharen managed to successfully obtain 
  detailed construction plans to the Empire’s super-weapon – the 
  Death Star.
  Bail’s adoptive daughter Leia had long been a member of 
  Organa’s secret cause and obtained the transmission of the 
  Death Star plans. Bail sent Leia on a mission to recruit former 
  Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi to the Rebel’s cause and deliver 
  the Death Star plans to the Alliance high command so it could 
  be analyzed for a possible attack. Unfortunately Leia was cap-
  tured by Darth Vader and the crew of the Tantive IV, including 
  Bail’s brother-in-law Raymus Antilles, were slaughtered. Leia had 
  succeeded in stowing the technical read-outs of the Death Star 
  into Artoo Deetoo’s memory banks and facilitated the droids’ 
  escape.
  In retaliation for Leia Organa’s treachery, and as an intimi-
  dation tactic for her to divulge the location of the Rebel base, 
  Grand Moff Tarkin brought the Death Star to Alderaan and 
  threatened to destroy it if Leia did not talk. Even though Leia 
  relinquished a location that was ultimately bogus, Tarkin had 
  no intention of sparing her home planet. Tarkin planned on 
  demonstrating the might of the Empire by making an example 
  of Alderaan which had been long suspected as a world of Rebel 
  sympathizers. Tarkin gave the order and Leia was forced to 
  watch her home and everyone she knew, including her father 
  Bail Organa, be destroyed. Tarkin’s plan backfired in the end, as 
  Alderaan became a symbol of the tyranny of the Empire and Bail 
  Organa a martyr of the Rebel Alliance cause.

  Bana Breemu – Republic Senator of Humbarine
  Bana Breemu served as senator to the Humbarine sector 
  in the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars. She was one of 
  the members of the Loyalist Committee before the Clone Wars 
  began, and had hoped to find a diplomatic solution to the Sepa-
  ratist threat rather than resorting to large-scale conflict. Hum-
  barine was one of the founding planets of the Republic some 
  twenty-five millennia ago and bolstered massive local military 
  forces along its borders near the Hydian Way. It came as no 
  surprised that Humbarine bared the impact of the Confederacy’s 
  might during the Clone Wars. Two years into the Clone Wars, 
  the sector’s capital planet of Humbarine was assaulted by the 
  Confederacy. General Grievous led his fleet of warships, beating 
  back Humbarine’s defense fleet and bombarded the planet for 
  over an hour until every single inhabitant of the world perished 
  and the very crust of the planet itself had become molten metal 
  and rock.
  Bana Breemu pleaded her territory’s case to the Galactic 
  Senate, desperately looking for disaster relief and military 
  assistance for the off world survivors of Humbarine and the 
  displaced residents of the planets that made up the rest of the

  Humbarine sector. Despite Humbarine’s former importance 
  to the Republic, with its fleets demolished and its industries 
  crushed, Humbarine was of little concern to Senate. Breemu 
  found the planets which she served pushed to the waste side. 
  Simply too many of her worlds had been overtaken by the 
  Separatists and the Republic was unwilling to dedicate military 
  strength to what was widely considered as a lost cause.
  In the final weeks of the Clone Wars, Breemu found herself 
  as one of the signatories of the Petition of Two-thousand 
  and became one of the members of its delegation. She began 
  attending covert meetings at Bail Organa’s Cantham House on 
  Coruscant to discuss the formation of an organization that came 
  to be known as the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Bana was a 
  cautious woman, however, and urged her peers to tread lightly 
  on what could easily be construed as treason. When Senator 
  Padmé Amidala of Naboo entertained the idea of bringing the 
  Jedi Order into their assemblies, Breemu felt it was too risky. 
  She felt the best course of action was to present the Petition of 
  Two-thousand to Chancellor Palpatine and vie for his accep-
  tance to its terms and relinquish his emergency powers. 
  Bana Breemu’s whereabouts are currently unknown, but it 
  is assumed she continued to serve in the Galactic Senate on 
  behalf of Humbarine when the Republic was restructured into 
  the Galactic Empire. It is also likely that by signing the Petition 
  of Two-thousand, Breemu had effectively signed her own death 
  warrant. Many senators who made their mark on the document 
  were later seen as traitors of the Empire and were put under 
  investigation. The majority investigated were found guilty and 
  were imprisoned and/or died under questionable circumstances.

  Chi Eekway – Republic Senator of Wroona
  Senator Chi Eekway was known for her incredible empathy 
  toward all beings, which was thought to border on the super-
  natural. She was close friends with fellow Senator and mentor 
  Terr Taneel of Neelanon and the enigmatic Baron Papanoida, and 
  had a taste for Aqualish Hoi-Broth. She was the elected senator 
  of the sector containing Wroona and Bestine IV, and was able 
  to lead her people ably; a shock, considering most of those she 
  represented were pirates and vagabonds. She carefully balanced 
  her time between her home sector and Coruscant, not wanting 
  to lose touch with her constituents. 
  Throughout the Clone Wars, Chi Eekway served on Palpa-
  tine's Loyalist Committee, a group of trusted senators chosen to 
  help advise the Chancellor on the events sweeping the galaxy. 
  She served proudly, but had exponentially growing concern 
  for the consolidation of power in the office of the Chancellor. 
  A month before the end of the Clone Wars, she traveled from 
  her isolated home sector to Coruscant, risking much danger as 
  she flew through CIS controlled space along the Corellian Trade 
  Spine. There, Chi and the Loyalist Committee gathered and met 
  with the Chancellor in effort to help convince him to give up 
  some of his emergency powers, particularly the Enhanced Secu-
  rity and Enforcement Act, now that Count Dooku was dead. 
  Chi Eekway, along with Senators Bail Organa, Padmè 
  Amidala, Mon Mothma, Terr Taneel, Fang Zar and Bana Breemu, 
  were initially shut out of the Chancellor's office by Sate Pestage. 
  Fortunately, the Chancellor caught site of them in the hall and 
  invited them in. Bail Organa spoke on behalf of the Committee, 
  but Chi Eekway managed to express some concerns as well. The 
  Chancellor disagreed that Count Dooku's death signaled the 
  end of the Clone Wars, but promised to abide by any measured 
  agreed upon in the Senate. Chi Eekway and her fellow commit-
  tee members became disheartened, realizing that Palpatine's 
  control of the super-majority in the Senate would see to it that 
  any vote they brought up would be squashed in the Senate. 
  So it was that Chi Eekway dedicated her time to bringing all 
  of her personal resources to bear to bringing a swift end to the 
  violence, in order to hasten a return to democracy. She often 
  met with information broker Baron Papanoida, who passed 
  along intelligence of dubious origin, which she then made cer-
  tain found its way to the Jedi Council. Mere days before the end 
  of the Clone Wars, Chi was contacted by Papanoida to meet at 
  the Coruscant Opera House. She brought along her confidante 
  and fellow Senator, Terr Taneel, and met the Baron in his private 
  box to watch the Mon Calamari show. The Baron informed her

  that his contacts suggested that General Grievous and the 
  Confederacy were not in fact on Utapau. Chi Eekway quickly 
  passed this information along, though she soon discovered that 
  it had turned out to be false after reports of Obi-Wan Kenobi's 
  successful mission to the sinkhole planet. 
  Chi Eekway was also present in Padmè Amidala's apart-
  ment during the signing of the Petition of the 2000, which was 
  presented to Chancellor Palpatine later that day. During the 
  meeting, Padmè wished to inform the Jedi Council of their peti-
  tion and seek their support, but Chi Eekway cautioned against it, 
  urging patience. Her hope was that a show of solidarity among 
  two-thousand Senators would curb Palpatine's power-hoarding 
  and restore a modicum of dignity to the Senate, as their power 
  had recently been stripped due to the Direct Governance Bill. 
  Chi Eekway was concerned of reports of Republic Governors 
  being sent to most Republic planets along with a full Regiment 
  of Clone troopers. She feared martial law in the galaxy's future, 
  and hoped the petition would put a stop to it. 
  When Palpatine declared himself Emperor and Chi Eekway 
  watched as sixty-three fellow delegates that signed the Petition 
  of two-thousand were arrested, she continued to stress patience 
  even as she swore loyalty to the Emperor. She became even 
  more determined to undermine the Empire from within, and 
  worked in secret alongside Bail Organa, Mon Mothma and Garm 
  Bel Iblis. Senator Eekway contributed much in the form of intel-
  ligence, primarily from Baron Papanoida. Her fate is unknown.

  Fang Zar – Republic Senator of the Sern Sector
  Fang Zar was the long-standing Senator representing the 
  Sern Sector of the Colonies Region, and hailed from the political 
  capital of the sector, Sern Prime. Zar was a man of his sector, 
  and in addition to his apartment on Coruscant, he maintained 
  estates on Sern Prime and Ghorman within his home-sector. He 
  was considered gruff and outspoken, but exceedingly idealistic. 
  Senator Zar found a close friend in the like-minded Senator 
  Garm Bel Iblis of Corellia, and the much more subtle Senator Bail 
  Organa of Alderaan. During the years leading up to the Clone 
  Wars, he was appointed to the Loyalist Committee, and also 
  grew close with Mon Mothma and Padmè Amidala. 
  When the Clone Wars erupted, Senator Fang Zar did his best 
  to support democracy and the constitution, but was saddened 
  as he watched amendment after amendment get shredded as 
  the Chancellor gained more direct control over the government. 
  The Clone Wars also separated him from his good friend, Garm 
  Bel Iblis, when the Corellian Senator invoked an ancient clause 
  that allowed him to withdraw his sector into isolationism. 
  Just less than two years into the Clone Wars, when Duro 
  fell to Durge's Lance, Senator Zar was asked by Garm to plead 
  for Republic military aid. Senator Zar was opposed by Senator 
  Orn Free Taa of Ryloth, and his motion to send aid to defend 
  Corellia was not passed. Fang Zar felt the Republic foolish not to 
  defend its own doorstep, as Corellia was a very short hyperspace 
  jump from Coruscant itself, but the Republic felt that Corel-
  lia deserved what it had coming, since they went into hiding 
  as soon as the war started. Fortunately for Senator Zar, the 
  Confederacy had no interest in taking the Corellian Sector, and 
  instead consolidated their holdings along the Corellian Trade 
  Run. 
  A month before the end of the Clone Wars, Senator Zar 
  worked with Bail Organa and Padmè Amidala to convince the 
  Chancellor to give back some of his emergency powers. The 
  group was given the run-around by the Chancellor's office, but 
  eventually was able to meet with him. They asked Palpatine 
  specifically to lay down the Enhanced Security and Enforcement 
  Act, but Palpatine suggested they raise such motions in the Sen-
  ate Hall, and let the people decide. Fang Zar specifically asked if 
  the remaining Outer Rim Territories occupied by the Separatists 
  might just be ceded to them to end the hostilities and return to 
  negotiation, but Palpatine thought such an idea villainous, citing 
  his compassion for the loyal Republic citizens in the Outer Rim 
  being crushed under Separatist boots. 
  Fang Zar spent the next month meeting with several sena-
  tors in Bail Organa and Padmè Amidala's apartments on Corus-
  cant. There they discussed possible ways to reign in the powers

  of the Chancellor, ranging from petitions to open rebellion. 
  The group finally settled to first try a petition, which they had 
  signed by two-thousand senators who also opposed the new 
  Direct Governance Act. Fang Zar was present when the petition 
  was delivered to Palpatine, who, again, rebuffed the concerned 
  Senators. However, before they group of politicians could con-
  sider further options, the Clone Wars were declared over, and 
  Palpatine crowned himself Emperor. 
  Fang Zar was declared an enemy of the Empire and arrested 
  alongside sixty-two fellow delegates. Fortunately, former-sena-
  tor Zar was able to be released on a technicality. He was strictly 
  told to remain on Coruscant, now known as Imperial Center, 
  but he fled to Alderaan regardless, seeking political asylum. 
  Weeks after the end of the Clone Wars, fighting also ended on 
  Sern Prime. Unwilling to risk Bail Organa's favor with the Empire 
  further, he contacted Jula Shryne of the Drunken Dancer, a 
  smuggling vessel, to contract passage off of Alderaan. During 
  his attempt to flee the planet, Darth Vader and Commander 
  Appo's 501st Stormtrooper Legion hunted the surly man down. 
  Lord Vader's lightsaber was thrown through the air, nearly cut-
  ting Fang Zar in half as he scrambled up the boarding ramp onto 
  the Drunken Dancer. He died soon after.

  Garm Bel Iblis – Republic Senator of Corellia
  Senator Garm Bel Iblis was considered one of the more 
  famous Corellians of all time, and was the Senator representing 
  the entire Corellian Sector during the time leading up to the 
  Clone Wars. Bel Iblis was outspoken and brash as most Corellians 
  were, and he frequently opposed Chancellor Palpatine's policies, 
  well aware that the former Senator from Naboo was slowly 
  consolidating power in the office of the Chancellor. With the 
  Separatist Crisis looming large in the minds of all the Senate, it 
  was no surprise to Bel Iblis when the Military Creation Act was 
  proposed. 
  Senator Bel Iblis vocally opposed the act alongside Sena-
  tors Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, Padmè Amidala, Fang Zhar 
  and others, hoping instead that any armed conflict could be 
  contained by local security forces. Unfortunately, after months 
  of campaigning, it became clear in Garm's eyes that the Military 
  Creation Act would be passed. After careful consultation with 
  Diktat Shyla Merricope and Bel Iblis' chief aide Sena Leikvold 
  Midanyl, Bel Iblis agreed to the only course of action left to 
  Corellians. 
  Desperate to avoid Corellian entanglement in a galaxy-
  spanning war, Bel Iblis invoked an obscure clause that allowed 
  Corellia to shut down its borders and isolate itself with neutral-
  ity during the Clone Wars. Garm Bel Iblis feared that any army 
  created would have been composed largely of his constituents, 
  causing many Corellians to die defending planets far from 
  home. He also hoped that with Corellia no longer available to 
  draw experienced troops, pilots or funding from, the vote would 
  flounder. 
  Of course, no one could have foreseen that a scant two 
  months later, a battle-ready Clone Army would be made avail-
  able to the Republic and emergency powers would be granted 
  to the Chancellor to allow him to activate the army and begin 
  a war. During the two months of isolation, Garm Bel Iblis spent 
  much of his time visiting schools and making tours of various 
  government installations and sector landmarks. Immediately 
  after the Battle of Geonosis, Bel Iblis realized that he had mis-
  stepped, and took immediate steps to bring Corellia back into 
  the Republic fold without losing face. 
  Garm's first offering to the Republic came when he discov-
  ered Tendir Blue had been contracted by the Techno Union to 
  capture Ratri Tane, a defecting scientist, who had come to Corel-
  lia seeking asylum and safe transport to the Republic. Bel Iblis 
  worked with Corellian Jedi Neeja Halcyon and CorSec's Rostek 
  Horn to formulate a plan that would help soften Corellian atti-
  tude toward the Republic. When the plan was complete, Senator 
  Bel Iblis had Neeja secretly contact Jedi Master Mace Windu, 
  and put the plan in motion. The end result vilified the Confed-
  eracy on Corellia, brought the Corellian Jedi fully into the Jedi 
  Order to participate in the Clone Wars, got Ratri Tane into safety, 
  and sabotaged a prototype for a future battle droid generation 
  produced by the Techno Union. 
  This action allowed Senator Bel Iblis to slowly bring Corellia 
  back into the Republic, and by the twenty-second month of the 
  Clone Wars, Corellia was back to trading with Sern Prime and 
  producing Corellian Dreadnaughts and various transports for the 
  Grand Army of the Republic, as well as distributing medical sup-
  plies and providing humanitarian aide. Unfortunately, Garm Bel 
  Iblis was unable to convince his government to launch a military 
  response to a distress call sent from Duro, which was taken over 
  that same month.  
  With the Separatists operation known as Durge's Lance obvi-
  ously stabbing its way toward Coruscant, Corellia was well aware 
  There were many other Senators in the Old Republic that 
  served in office during the Clone Wars, one of which is listed 
  here.
  Senator Bogg Tyrell: This female Aleena represented 
  her homeworld of Aleen, though she spent much of her time 
  partaking in what nightlife Coruscant had to offer, even 
  dating Dug holovid star Seboca.  She bumped into Jedi Obi-
  Wan Kenobi twice, once in her speeder while the Jedi was 
  dangling from an assassin droid, and again in Dex’s Diner as 
  she was exiting, both times just days before the outbreak of 
  the Clone Wars.

  that their system would be the next conquest on the road to 
  the galactic capital. Garm pleaded with his close friend Senator 
  Fang Zhar to speak on Corellia's behalf to send military aide to 
  blunt the Confederate advance. Fortunately, Garm was again 
  incorrect, as the CIS made clear their lack of desire to snatch up 
  neutral worlds such as Corellia, and Garm Bel Iblis, outplayed, 
  returned to the Republic with far less influenced than he left 
  with. 
  What little support Iblis had left to give, he gave fully to 
  Senators Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, who were assembling 
  what would become the Delegation of 2000; a list of 2000 sena-
  tors opposed to the Chancellor's emergency powers as the Clone 
  Wars neared their inevitable end. The petition was presented 
  to the Chancellor shortly after the death of Count Dooku, the 
  famous Separatist leader. Of course, not long after the presen-
  tation, the Jedi Order was wiped out and Palpatine declared 
  himself Emperor. 
  During his short time as a member of the Imperial Senate, Bel 
  Iblis put a friend named Irenez into the Imperial Academy, aware 
  that military forces to oppose the Empire that were aware of 
  their procedures would be valuable in the future. Garm remained 
  an aak dog in nerf's clothing in the Senate, undermining Imperial 
  policy as much as possible while seeming compliant. However, 
  while spending over a decade in the Imperial Senate, Senator Bel 
  Iblis was also building contacts and keeping in touch with Irenez. 
  Eventually Mon Mothma convinced him to sign the Corel-
  lian Treaty, Garm's assets with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma's 
  resources to undermine the Empire. 
  Shortly after the signing of the Corellian Treaty, Garm went 
  to the planet of Anchoron to deliver a speech. Imperial assassins 
  had planted a bomb, but Garm was lucky to be delayed by a 
  rebel agent who informed him of the discovery of plans for the 
  Death Star. Regardless, the Senator's family was killed in the 
  blast. With nothing else to lose, Bel Iblis was put in charge of 
  the Alliance Military. Garm Bel Iblis frequently clashed with Mon 
  Mothma over ideology, and it was usually Bail Organa who paci-
  fied the pair and made it possible to achieve anything. So when 
  Bail Organa was killed during the destruction of Alderaan, it was 
  no surprise that Garm Bel Iblis and Mon Mothma had a falling 
  out shortly afterward over an attack on the planet Milvayne. 
  Garm Bel Iblis took a sizable chunk of his military forces back 
  and struck out against the Empire on his own. Irenez acted as his 
  second in command, and soon Garm had a sizable armada led by 
  six Corellian Dreadnaughts from the Katana Fleet. He established 
  Peregrine's Nest as his mobile command base and conducted a 
  hit-and-run campaign against the Empire for years, funded by 
  Borsk Fey'lya and his clan. The group’s greatest accomplishment 
  was the utter destruction of an Ubiqtorate Headquarters on the 
  planet Tangrene. 
  Even after the Rebellion killed the Emperor and defeated 
  the second Death Star, Bel Iblis kept his forces hidden, helping 
  to mop up Imperial Warlords and building his forces for the day 
  when Mon Mothma showed her true colors and declared herself 
  Empress. Fortunately, Garm Bel Iblis was wrong again, Mon 
  Mothma proved a fair Chief of State, and twenty-seven years 
  after the Clone Wars, Bel Iblis was reluctantly coaxed to join the 
  New Republic by Han Solo, a fellow Corellian. 
  Garm was appointed to the rank of General and put in 
  charge of Coruscant's defense during a siege by Grand Admiral 
  Thrawn. Garm showed he had true military genius, and was 
  given his own task force that allowed him to do much the same 
  thing he had been doing from Peregrine's Nest for years. He 
  was saddened when Mon Mothma died, but proud of the job 
  Bail Organa's stepdaughter did as Chief of State in her place. It 
  wasn't until Borsk Fey'lya's rise to power as Chief of State that 
  Bel Iblis saw warning signs.  
  Garm Bel Iblis soon became fed up with corruption in the Sen-
  ate, reminded of the time just before the Clone Wars. He feared 
  that with the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, history could repeat itself 
  all over again, plunging the galaxy into darkness for decades. 
  Already seventy years old, Garm Bel Iblis helped to evacuate 
  Coruscant during the Vong invasion, and then promptly broke 
  away from the New Republic, commanding three fleets of his 
  own against the Vong from Tallaan shipyards. 
  Luke Skywalker was able to eventually bring him back under 
  the banner of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. Bel Iblis' 
  ships along with the fleet of the Smuggler Alliance were able to 
  turn the tide of the war, and eventually retake Coruscant. Garm 
  Bel Iblis served as one of the occupation commanders on Corus-
  cant, but his role during future conflicts is unknown.

  Giddean Danu – Republic Senator of Kuat
  Giddean Danu was considered among the most incorrupt-
  ible and pragmatic of all the Senators in the Republic. However, 
  it was not those traits that convinced Director Onara Kuat to 
  appoint him as Senator Risi Lenoan's replacement on Coruscant. 
  Onara felt that Giddean would be easily manipulated because 
  of his idealism and lack of experience in large-scale politics. 
  However, Senator Danu proved to be anything but controllable, 
  and as a result Onara Kuat nearly had him removed from office 
  twice. 
  Giddean Danu was in favor of an end to the Clone Wars, and 
  a cessation to the Emergency Powers granted to Supreme Chan-
  cellor Palpatine. Unfortunately, his home-world of Kuat wanted 
  anything but an end to hostilities. Kuat Drive Yards had ben-
  efited greatly from wartime contracts for their shipyards, and 
  their subsidiary company on Rothana held exclusive contracts to 
  much of the Republics war material. Giddean Danu believed in 
  serving the greater good instead of his home world’s destructive 
  interests, and he found himself allied with Senators Bail Organa, 
  Mon Mothma, Garm Bel Iblis and Padmè Amidala. 
  Senator Danu was present at meetings in Bail Organa's 
  office as well as Padmè Amidala's apartment to discuss both the 
  Petition of two-thousand and the possibility of open rebel-
  lion against the Chancellor. Giddean Danu was a great friend 
  to the Jedi Order, and firmly agreed with Padmè Amidala that 
  no rebellion could succeed without the moral authority of the 
  Jedi Order. Chi Eekway and Bail Organa managed to convince 
  them to be patient, and wait to see what reaction the Chancellor 
  would have to the show of solidarity represented by the Petition 
  of two-thousand. 
  Unfortunately, by the time it was made clear that the sup-
  port of the Jedi would be needed, Chancellor Palpatine had 
  already declared himself Emperor, and destroyed the entirety of 
  the Jedi Order. Giddean Danu was shocked at the horrors that 
  corruption in the senate had allowed, but his voice was soon 
  silenced after Onara Kuat made a deal with Tannon Praji, who 
  set up what is believed to be Senator Danu's assassination.

  Jannie Ha’Nook – Republic Senator of Glithnos
  Jannie Ha’Nook was the senator representing the planet of 
  Glithnos in the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars. She was 
  often seen as cold and overly-skeptical but became a valued 
  member of Chancellor Palpatine’s council during the war. In spite 
  of her cynical outlook and independent nature, she was one of 
  the first senators to vote in favor of the Emergency Powers Act. 
  In the early days of the three year long conflict, she was placed 
  as one of the senior members of the Security and Intelligence 
  Council. Frequently she would meet with Supreme Chancellor 
  Palpatine regarding matters of galactic security throughout the 
  course of the war.
  In the thirtieth month of the Clone Wars, Ha’Nook was 
  called into a secret meeting by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to 
  discuss an extremely time-sensitive matter. A massive Separatist 
  fleet had secured the planet Praesitlyn, dampening communica-
  tions to the Outer Rim for the Republic. The Confederacy also 
  poised a significant threat to the Seswenna sector from Prae-
  sitlyn which would easily allow them access to the Rimma Trade 
  Route almost uncontested all the way into the Core Worlds. The 
  Republic’s Grand Army had been stretched too thin and the only 
  forces that could be spared were a single legion of clone troop-
  ers that were stationed on one of Coruscant’s moons at Centax 
  One. Ha’Nook thought taking units away from capital security 
  to devote to reclaiming Praesitlyn was unwise, but promised the 
  Chancellor she would consider providing her support to sway 
  other members of the Senate.
  After their meeting, Jannie was contacted by a mysterious 
  individual that she mistook for Armand Isard from the Senate 
  Bureau of Intelligence. Very quickly she realized her mistake as

  Lexi Dio – Republic Senator of Uyter
  Lexi Dio was the elected representative of the agri-world 
  of Uyter, a planet in Mid-Rim. With the threat of the Confed-
  eracy looming over the Republic, Lexi Dio was among those ten 
  senators appointed to the Loyalist Committee, formed six weeks 
  before the Battle of Geonosis, to advise Chancellor Palpatine 
  during the Separatist Crisis. Three weeks later, Senator Dio was 
  able to push through a critical piece of legislation that aided her 
  home world. The Abrion Sector seceded from the Republic, tak-
  ing with it two-hundred agri-worlds. To stop the hemorrhaging 
  of food from the Republic, Senator Dio's legislation suggested an 
  emergency subsidy package that would benefit agri-worlds that 
  stayed with the Republic, including Uyter. Her bill was a success, 
  and the loss of food-producing worlds was limited largely to the 
  Abrion Sector. 
  The next major object of contention came days before 
  the Battle of Genosis over the Military Creation Act. Lexi Dio 
  sided with Padmè Amidala in opposing the Act, feeling it was 
  alarmist and overkill, while many of the other members of the 
  Loyalist Committee were strongly for it. The vote on the act 
  was cancelled, however, when Jar-Jar Binks of Naboo voted 
  the Chancellor Emergency Powers that allowed him to create 
  a Grand Army of the Republic on his own. As a member of the 
  Loyalist Committee, Lexi Dio spent much of her time in Chancel-
  lor Palpatine's office with her fellow committee members. She 
  was in Palpatine's office when Obi-Wan Kenobi sent a message 
  from Geonosis, watching the seemingly small events spin out of 
  control toward war. 
  Lexi Dio remained a staunch supporter of the Republic, and 
  spent much of the Clone Wars being a proponent of Sector 
  Rights of Autonomy. To this end, she spent much time with 
  Senator Padmè Amidala, who had similar views on strong central 
  government, specifically the consolidation of power in the 
  Office of the Chancellor. When Duros fell to the Separatists in 
  twenty-first month of the Clone Wars, Lexi Dio was shocked to 
  discover that two corrupt Senators on the Action SubCommit-
  tee were responsible. However, she spoke to the Holonet News 
  alongside Senator Padmè Amidala, arguing that just because of 
  this isolated incident, power should not be removed from Sen-
  ate Action SubCommittees and put directly in the hands of the 
  Office of the Chancellor. Shortly after her speech, Senator Lexi

  Male-Dee – Republic Senator of Uyter
  Appointed to the Galactic Senate by Uyter during the third 
  year of the Clone Wars, Male-Dee was a replacement for the 
  recently assassinated Lexi Dio. It was thought by the Uyter 
  electorate that Male-Dee would be less outspoken than the late 
  Senator Dio, and less likely to give reason to be assassinated. 
  Male-Dee hailed from the Visdic Territories, a region on Uyter, 
  and Senator Male-Dee could often be seen wearing traditional 
  Visdic robes. He wore his hair in a bright red Mohawk, which was 
  a sign of a plea for peace on his home world. 
  The soft-spoken uyterrian soon found himself allied with 
  Senator Padmè Amidala through his close friend, as he found he 
  agreed with her on several of the same issues his predecessor 
  did. It wasn't long before he introduced his close friend, Senator 
  Nee Alavar, to Padmè Amidala, and they were two of the first 
  people invited to sign the Petition of the two thousand, and 
  were present in Chancellor Palpatine's office when Padmè Ami-
  dala and Bail Organa issued the petition. Palpatine was polite, 
  but dismissive, and a few days later he named himself Emperor. 
  It is unknown if Male-Dee was apprehended with the initial 
  sixty-three members of the Delegation of Two-Thousand after 
  the Clone War ended or if he remained as a Senator or went into 
  hiding.

  Mar Rugeyan – Head of Senate Public Affairs
  As head of the Senate Public Affairs Office, Mar Rugeyan 
  was a man wholly concerned with image; specifically, media 
  image. His primary task was to spin the news to portray the 
  Senate and Republic government in the best light possible, 
  and act as a liaison between the Senate and the media. Mar 
  Rugeyan was outfitted with an office that would make many 
  senators jealous. It was a large office on the 391st floor of the 
  Public Affairs Office of the Support Services Center. From here, 
  assisted by an attractive female named Jayl, Rugeyan exhausted 
  his contacts in the defense and journalism industries to keep 
  up image of the Senate throughout the Republic. He arranged 
  several press conferences and interviews for senators with the 
  public, as well as received advance copies of several holonet 
  broadcasts, giving him time to perform damage control and 
  issue statements when negative items made their way onto the 
  nets. When the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, this posi-
  tion became critical to the morale of Republic citizens, and even 
  helped influence many planets to remain within the Republic 
  instead of willingly seceding to the Confederacy. 
  Four months into the Clone Wars, Mar Rugeyan gained 
  access to the Senate landing platform, where six people had 
  been taken hostage by four Haruun-Kal natives, including Mon 
  Calamari Senator Meena Tills. There were several hover-cams 
  and journalists present, though held back by a CSF line. However, 
  that did not stop them from getting plenty of imagery when 
  Twi'lek Jedi Master Kaim was killed and then thrown out into the 
  passageway with explosives attached to him. Luckily, the hover-
  cams also saw a Republic Commando jump onto the explosive 
  device heroically, absorbing the blast with his armor, which 
  protected him. Rugeyan immediately got on his comlink to 
  discuss strategy, and accidentally referred to the Commando as 
  a grunt. Training Sergeant Kal Skirata took offense to the com-
  ment, and made it known rather violently by twisting Rugeyan's 
  groin painfully before asking the Head of Senate Public Affairs 
  to leave the scene, which he did.

  THE REPUBLIC
  Fortunately, the situation resolved itself in a satisfactory 
  manner, when all four terrorists were killed by the Republic 
  Commandos and all hostages safely extracted. Mar Rugeyan 
  returned to the scene with several journalists and hover-cams, 
  holding an impromptu press conference. CSF scene commander 
  Jaller Obrim made negative comments about the results, but 
  Mar Rugeyan rebuffed him, making it seem like a clear and per-
  fect victory against terrorism by the Republic. Public confidence 
  in the Senate and the Grand Army of the Republic soared as a 
  result. 
  Eight months later, a terrorist network had Coruscant in 
  the grip of fear, and Mar Rugeyan was suggested to Kal Skirata 
  as a means to help his commandos achieve their mission with 
  stealth. The very next day, the two had a meeting in Rugeyan's 
  luxurious office. Sergeant Skirata met with Rugeyan in his 
  office, and this time Skirata was much more accommodating 
  of the Senate Head of Public Affairs. In exchange for making a 
  valuable contact out of CSF head Jaller Obrim, Rugeyan would 
  use his clout and call in favors from the Defense Department to 
  arrange for extended leave for several clone troopers from two 
  battalions of the 41st Elite on Coruscant, as well as the crew of 
  the RAS Fearless. Within twenty-four hours, Rugeyan had thou-
  sands of clone troopers wandering Coruscant, allowing Skirata's 
  Republic Commandos to move about the planet freely without 
  attracting undue attention. 
  Ten days after their meeting, Rugeyan was forced to cover up 
  for Skirata's men when they caused ten deaths in a very public 
  manner in the under levels of Coruscant. Rugeyan was able to 
  convince the media that the death and destruction was a result 
  of an erupting gang war, and was able to keep the press satisfied 
  with that answer. A week later, the Republic Commandos were 
  successful, and the entire terrorist network on Coruscant had 
  been violently shut down. Jaller Obrim's CSF got all the credit for 
  the ninety-seven deaths and arrests, as well as the seizure of a 
  large amount of explosives. Rugeyan was able to spin the news 
  further to increase confidence in the Senate, and got a great 
  soundbyte out of Senator Ihu Niopua about the excellent police 
  work being done by the CSF. 
  It is unknown what happened to the well-dressed Rugeyan, 
  but he was quite ruthless in his work. It is possible he continued 
  on as a spin-doctor for the Galactic Empire, helping Imperial 
  HoloVision cow the populace. Few in the galaxy would under-
  stand Emperor Palpatine's need for control of the media and 
  know how to execute it as well as Mar Rugeyan.

  Meena Tills – Republic Senator of Mon Calamari
  Senator Meena Tills of Mon Calamari was known for her calm 
  demeanor and great compassion. Her election to the position 
  of Senator was unorthodox, as emergency elections were held 
  after Senator Tikkes was revealed to be responsible for creat-
  ing the Quarren Isolationist League. The war between the Mon 
  Calamari Knights and the Q.I.L. raged on for months until Kit 
  Fisto was able to blunt their main attack force and discover their 
  field commander, a local organism previously unknown to have 
  a powerful hive mind, the Moappa. 
  Five months into the Clone Wars, Meena Tills and Tundra 
  Dowmeia led peace talks between the Quarren and Mon Cala-
  mari in order to establish a new, lasting peace between their 
  two cultures, as well as the newly discovered Moappa. The peace 
  talks were a great success, and resulted in a sharp increase in 
  the popularity of both Meena Tills and Tundra Dowmeia. It was 
  no surprise when the two were both elected to jointly represent 
  the planet, one for each species. 
  Unfortunately, Senator Tikkes' presence was still felt on Mon 
  Calamari, and both newly elected Senators' administrations were 
  filled with spies and informants. One such spy was responsible 
  for selling Senator Tills' travel schedule to the Separatists, who 
  provided it to a group of Haruun Kal terrorists, desperate to hurt 
  the Republic. Meena Tills was on his first trip to Coruscant after 
  being sworn into office when he was kidnapped along with a 
  member of the Corporate Sector Authority Direx Board and a 
  few other passengers. Senator Tills watched as Jedi Master Kaim 
  was sent in to negotiate, and was killed for his efforts. The sena-
  tor was eventually rescued by Omega Squad, a team of Republic 
  Commandos, averting two major political scandals, as the death 
  of a CSA Direx Board member would undoubtedly bring the CSA 
  into the conflict on the side of the CIS, and the death of Meena 
  Tills would spark conflict on Mon Calamari again. 
  Senator Tills worked closely with Senator Dowmeia, and 
  though the two had vastly differing opinions on issues local 
  to Mon Calamari, they soon happily discovered their stances 
  were similar on galactic-scale politics. Toward the last days of 
  the Clone Wars, Meena Tills and Tundra Dowmeia both signed 
  the Petition of the Two-Thousand, and Meena Tills made sure 
  he was present when the document was presented to Chancel-
  There were many other Senators in the Old Republic that 
  served in office during the Clone Wars, some of which are 
  listed here.
  Senator Ister Paddie: After his predecessor committed 
  suicide, Ister Paddie ascended to the role of Senator to his 
  homeworld of Sermeria.  Shortly afteward, he was put on 
  Chancellor Palpatine’s Loyalist Committee.  He was very vocal 
  when speaking out against Corellia’s withdrawal from the 
  Republic prior to the Clone Wars.
  Senator Streamdrinker: This Tynnan represented his 
  homeworld of Tynna during the Clone Wars, and was a 
  member of the Delegation of 2000, speaking out against the 
  consolidation of power by Chancellor Palpatine.  When the 
  Empire was formed, Streamdrinker was one of 63 Senators 
  from the Delegation of 2000 to be arrested and was never 
  heard from again.

  alongside Tundra Dowmeia, and her planet was enslaved by the

  Mon Mothma – Republic Senator of Chandrilla
  Mon Mothma was born on the planet Chandrilla twenty-six 
  years before the Clone Wars. Her family was heavily involved in 
  Republic politics – her mother was the Governor of Chandrilla 
  and her father was an arbiter-general for the Republic. It came 
  as no surprise to her family and friends when she began to 
  pursue a life in politics. Five years before the Battle of Geonosis 
  prompted the Clone Wars; Mon Mothma was elected to serve as 
  representative to the entire Bormea sector in the Republic Sen-
  ate, becoming the youngest senator to ever hold a seat in the 
  galactic government at the age of just twenty-one years.
  As tension enveloped the galaxy in the midst of the Separat-
  ist crisis, Mon Mothma proved herself amongst her colleges as 
  a firm individual when it came to her beliefs. She sternly fought 
  for the rights of all of the citizens of the Republic at a time when 
  the government had proven to be riddled with corruption and 
  shady agreements. Mon Mothma was among the first of the 
  senators to realize the dwindling values of the Republic, and 
  found like-minded beings in Bail Organa of Alderaan and Padmé 
  Amidala of Naboo. In the Republic’s time of turmoil, Mothma 
  was appointed to the Loyalist Committee. 
  Due to events that transpired in the Senate during the Clone 
  Wars consisting mainly of Chancellor’s mounting political power, 
  Mon Mothma grew skeptical of Palpatine and his motives. 
  Mothma cooperated with a number of senators including Bail 
  Organa and Padmé Amidala to put forth a series of legislations 
  that could reign in Palpatine’s ever-encompassing authority. At 
  the initiative of the trio, a petition was drafted and signed by 
  two-thousand members of the Senate. This document, dubbed 
  the Petition of Two-thousand, called for Supreme Chancellor 
  Palpatine to relinquish his emergency powers gained through-
  out the Clone Wars. The group had hoped this act would allow 
  diplomacy to resume and potentially bring an end to the war. 
  Unfortunately Palpatine had amassed too much uncontested 
  power and refused to acknowledge the document, providing 
  only his reassurance that he would uphold his word when the 
  crisis was finally over. 
  With Palpatine’s refusal to agree to the terms of the Delega-
  tion of Two-thousand’s petition, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa 
  began organizing secret meetings to discuss the formation of an 
  organization to promote the restoration of the Republic to its 
  former glory. While several senators such as Bana Breemu and 
  Fang Zhar took part in these clandestine assemblies, none of 
  them were under any illusions that what they spoke of could be 
  construed as treason. Senator Amidala advised extreme caution, 
  urging Mothma and Organa to publicly support Palpatine but 
  to continue their plans. This would prove as keen advice when 
  Palpatine addressed the Senate citing the Jedi had betrayed 
  the Republic and as such was restructuring the Republic into a 
  Galactic Empire.
  With their worst fears now a reality, many members of the 
  Delegation of Two-thousand now found themselves under the 
  scrutiny of the Imperial Security Bureau. Mon Mothma pleaded 
  with Bail Organa and the others to publicly dispute Palpatine’s 
  actions, but instantly reconsidered one month after the Clone 
  Wars had ended when the Emperor ordered the enslavement 
  of both Kashyyyk and Mon Calamari. Instead Mothma began 
  organizing rebel cells that would independently oppose the 
  Emperor’s reign. Over the next fourteen years she would con-
  tinue gaining sympathy all throughout the galaxy.
  At this time, Mon Mothma negotiated an alliance between 
  the rebel factions commanded by Bail Organa and Corellian 
  Senator Garm Bel Iblis in the Corellian Treaty. This document 
  proclaimed the formerly individual organizations to assume 
  operating under the banner of the Alliance to Restore the 
  Republic. Mon Mothma was appointed as the Chief of State of 
  the Alliance performed her duties with great diligence, all the 
  while continuing her participation in the Imperial Senate on 
  behalf of Bormea. During this period, Mothma took Bail Organa’s

  adopted daughter Leia under her wing, coaching her on matters 
  of politics and swaying her to the Alliance’s cause.
  Eventually Leia succeeded her father and became the new 
  senator for Alderaan in the Imperial Senate, breaking Mothma’s 
  record of the youngest senator ever to be appointed in the gov-
  ernment when she was only eighteen years old. Leia continued 
  to work with Mon Mothma by supporting the Rebel Alliance in 
  whatever ways necessary. Unfortunately Mon Mothma’s healthy 
  relationship with Leia was not universal with all members of the 
  Alliance council. Founding members Garm Bel Iblis questioned 
  the upper workings of the Alliance, stating Mothma’s amount 
  of control over the military group mirrored that of Palpatine’s. 
  Mothma instated a policy that at any time a simple major-
  ity vote by the Alliance council could see her ejected from her 
  position, but this amendment was never enacted in her entire 
  career. Bel Iblis was still unsatisfied and broke away from the 
  Rebel Alliance. 
  Two years later, Mothma signed into action the official Dec-
  laration of Rebellion and the conflict between the Alliance and 
  the Empire began spilling out into the media. This conflict came 
  to a head three years later when Palpatine dissolved the Imperial 
  Senate, cementing his total control over the galaxy. At that time, 
  Mon Mothma had already dedicated herself full-time towards 
  the anti-Imperial efforts of the Alliance. Even her daughter Lieda 
  and son Jobin actively supported the Rebel cause. Her efforts 
  were then doubled when the destruction of Alderaan and the 
  death of millions, including Bail Organa occurred at the hands of 
  Grand Moff Tarkin and the largest war machine ever created by 
  the Empire: the Death Star. A Rebel group under the leadership 
  of General Jan Dodonna launched an assault on this battle sta-
  tion and succeeded in destroying the war platform. This upped 
  the stakes and the Emperor declared all-out war against the 
  Rebel Alliance.
  The war waged on for four years and saw the death of 
  thousands, including both of Mon Mothma’s children. The 
  Rebel Chief-of-state was unshaken in her resolve, however, and 
  personally gave a briefing at what would become the Alliance’s 
  most important mission. Information had been stolen by Bothan 
  spies on the creation and whereabouts of a new Death Star even 
  more powerful than the first. To compound the importance of 
  this mission, the Emperor himself was personally overseeing the 
  final stages of the behemoth construction. Rebel soldiers under 
  the command of Admiral Ackbar and General Madine flung 
  forth a heavy offensive. Even though the entire scenario was a 
  trap perpetrated by the Emperor, the Rebels were successful in 
  their goal: the Death Star was destroyed and with it Emperor 
  Palpatine.
  Mon Mothma worked hard to turn the militant Rebel Alliance 
  into a fully functioning government. Her efforts would pay off 
  in the form of the New Republic. Mothma served as Chief of 
  State to this governing body for seven years. At that point she 
  fell ill from a sickness brought about by a pro-Imperial ambas-
  sador from Carida named Furgan. In her absence she appointed 
  Leia Organa Solo as the acting Chief of State. Even though 
  she eventually recovered from her illness thanks to the Mon 
  Calamarian Jedi Chilghal, she refused to reclaim her seat in the 
  New Republic. Instead she guided the councilers of the New 
  Republic to elect Leia Organa Solo as the new Chief of State. 
  Mothma then retired to her estate on Coruscant, providing Leia 
  with advice as she requested it. The mother of the Rebel Alliance 
  as well as the New Republic lived out a peaceful life for the next 
  eighteen years before dying of natural causes in her sleep on 
  Coruscant.

  Nee Alavar – Republic Senator of the Kanz Sec-

  Nee Alavar was the elected representative of the Kanz 
  Sector, which included her home world of Lorrd. As Lorrdians 
  are famous for their mastery of reading body language, it was 
  thought that sending a Lorrdian as their senate representative 
  would give their sector an advantage in negotiations over oth-

  corrupt liars, beings she wished to have no association with.

  Onaconda Farr – Republic Senator of Rodia
  Senator Onaconda Farr could be considered representative of 
  the corruption that had taken root deeply in the Senate. He was 
  known to line his own pockets and take maximum advantage of 
  every perk afforded him as a senator. However, he was fiercely 
  loyal to the Republic. Eleven years prior to the Clone Wars, he 
  was summoned along with several other senators about taking 
  action against the Yinchorri, who had begun a campaign of con-
  quest. Senator Farr supported Valorum’s blockade and embargo, 
  pending an owed favor. Shortly afterward, just after the disaster 
  that was the Eriadu Trade Summit, met with Senators Orn 
  Free Taa, Tikkes, and Mot Not Rab to discuss how best to take 
  advantage of the recently politically weakened Valorum, hoping 
  to maintain the corrupt status-quo. 
  More than a decade later, Onaconda Farr was still the Rodian 
  representative to the Senate, and his son had even visited the 
  core to vote on the Military Creation Act in a mock-up voting 
  held on Chandrilla by a legislative youth program. Senator Farr 
  was proud to see his son create a narrow victory for what he 
  considered to be an act vital to the survival of the Republic dur-
  ing the Separatist crisis. Onaconda Farr was considered one of 
  the loudest proponents for instituting the Military Creation Act 
  immediately. He spent much of his time as a verbal opponent to 
  Chancellor Palpatine, who wanted to continue to try to negoti-
  ate with Count Dooku first. Farr felt it folly to negotiate when 
  "your house is on fire." 
  A week after those inflammatory statements, the Loyalist 
  Committee was created by Chancellor Palpatine to help advise 
  him during the Separatist Crisis. Senator Farr accused Palpatine 
  of partisanship, putting only his close political allies in the com-
  mittee in hopes of watering down the Military Creation Act, or 
  avoiding having to vote on the Act at all. A week later he spoke 
  out against the Chancellor again when he put Armand Isard in 
  charge of completely restructuring Republic Intelligence. Farr 
  claimed Palpatine would use the branch to increase his personal 
  power. 
  Three weeks after the formation of the Loyalist Committee, 
  Onaconda Farr came into possession of a list of 245 Senators 
  and Judicial Officers that had deep Separatist ties, one of which 
  was Senator Havriso Looruya, a member of the Loyalist Com-
  mittee. Senator Farr took the floor and would not relinquish it, 
  despite Mas Amedda's call for order, until he was granted an 
  audience with the newly revamped Senate Bureau of Intel-
  ligence. Farr made as much noise as possible, claiming the SBI 
  was merely a tool of the Loyalist Committee, but was eventually 
  granted audience. 
  A month after the formation of the Loyalist Committee, SBI 
  validated Senator Farr's claims against Havriso Looruya, as well 
  as twelve other senators. Further, Senator Farr was asked by 
  Chancellor Palpatine to fill the now vacant spot on the Loyalist 
  Committee. Senator Farr's excitement over the news was tainted, 
  however, having received news of the death of his brother and 
  his wife in a house fire back on Rodia. Despite his personal loss, 
  his career continued to shine. He was talked about often on the 
  Coruscant talk show Amberdawn, where he was held up as an 
  example of the epitome of a Loyalist. 
  His name was a common site in the Holonet News, and his 
  pro-Military Creation Act stance was well known and regarded 
  all over Coruscant. It was also well known that he was interested

  in chairing or at least sitting on a committee to help steer the 
  military. He was so pro-Military Creation Act, in fact, that he 
  financed a Holo-Drama called The Trickery of Vosdia Nooma 
  which, in a very heavy-handed way, showed the dangers of 
  voting against the Military Creation Act. Farr went so far as to 
  perform the part of an oracle in the play on opening night via 
  hologram. 
  Less than a month later, the Loyalist Committee was called 
  into Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's office to view a mes-
  sage recorded by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who informed them of 
  the Separatist plot on Geonosis before he was captured by 
  destroyer droids. Hours later, Representative Jar-Jar Binks of 
  Naboo motioned for the Chancellor to gain Emergency Powers, 
  and the Grand Army of the Republic was created out the Clone 
  Army prepared on Kamino. Onaconda Farr applauded the turn 
  of events, eager to strengthen the weakening Republic. Sena-
  tor Farr was quickly placed in charge of Corellian Trade Spine 
  Defense, in charge of allocating resources and military oversight. 
  Twenty months into the Clone Wars, Asajj Ventress of the 
  Confederacy posted a number of bounties on various members 
  of the Jedi Order and Senate. Senator Farr had a bounty posted 
  for twenty-five thousand credits. The bounty forced Senator 
  Farr to remain safely on Coruscant, as returning home to Rodia 
  would expose him to far too many bounty hunters. 
  A month later, Senator Farr realized that his home-world's 
  involvement in the fighting on Ando was posing a threat to his 
  planet from the entire Confederacy. Convinced his home world 
  was in great danger, he re-routed three newly hulled Venator-
  Class Star Destroyers from Duro to the Ando-Rodia battlefront, 
  and bribed Senator Ronet Coor several million credits as well as 
  exclusive rebuilding contracts for his home world of Iseno on 
  the war-torn planet of Ando for additional ships to be moved 
  to Rodia from Iseno. Two weeks later, the Separatist Operation 
  known as Durge's Lance pushed up the entire Corellian Trade 
  Spine and decimated Duros defenses, taking the planet in short 
  order. 
  Twenty-two months into the Clone Wars, Senator Onaconda 
  Farr resigned from the Senate Action Subcommittee for Corel-
  lian Trade Spine Defense, and was put under investigation by 
  SBI Agent Ingleman Berezz. The investigation took a month, but 
  they found accurately that three Venator-Class Star Destroyers 
  were re-routed from Duros defense by Onaconda Farr him-
  self, and Duros reinforcements from Iseno were bribed to be 
  relocated. Both Senator Onaconda Farr and Ronet Coor were 
  removed from office, and a groundswell movement began in the 
  senate suggesting that the military be controlled directly by the 
  Chancellor instead of by Senate Action Subcommittees. This, of 
  course, was counter to everything Onaconda Farr believed in, 
  and he made it possible. It is unknown what the former Rodian 
  Senator did for the remainder of the Clone Wars or afterward.

  Orn Free Taa – Republic Senator of Ryloth
  Senator Orn Free Taa was an incredibly obese Rutian Twi'lek 
  that represented the world of Ryloth in the Galactic Senate. 
  Senator Taa was one of the more recognizable faces in the 
  Senate because of his immense girth, uncharacteristic for most 
  Twi'leks. His indulgence had ballooned his body along with his 
  personal taste for graft, bribes and corruption to the point of 
  limited mobility, and Senator Taa's hoverchair was a common 
  sight around the Senate Hall. More than a decade before the 
  Clone Wars, Senator Taa shared the responsibility of Senator 
  with Senator Chom Frey Kaa, another similarly obese Twi'lek. 
  After Senator Kaa was removed from office after a scandal 
  involving kidnapped Jedi, he was replaced with Connus Trell, 
  who likewise proved too overt in his corruption and was killed by 
  Jango Fett. 
  Mere months before the Battle of Naboo, Orn Free Taa had 
  risen to the position of leader of the Rim Faction, which was 
  opposed by Bail Antilles of Corellia, who represented the Core 
  Faction. Orn Free Taa also sat on both the Senate Appropriations 
  Committee and the Senate Allocations Committee. As a former 
  Tax Collector on Ryloth, his creative bookkeeping skills served 
  him well on both political bodies. He had a circle of consorts,

  most often rare Lethan Twi'lek females trained as dancers, as 
  well as a green-skinned Twi'lek named Pampy as a personal aide. 
  He was a staunch militarist, and was opposed to Chancellor 
  Valorum's rule, as it limited the boundaries of his greed. Taa was 
  a very vocal member of the senate, opposing Valorum at every 
  opportunity. 
  Six months before the Battle of Naboo, the Galactic Senate 
  was focused on a major bill that would tax goods in the Outer 
  Rim to limit the growth of the Trade Federation. Orn Free Taa 
  was at a Coruscant Opera House taking in a Bith rendition of 
  "The Brief Reign of Future Wraiths" along with fellow Sena-
  tors Toonbuck Toora, Passel Argente and Edcel Bar Gane as well 
  as Senator Palpatine and his two aides, Kinman Doriana and 
  Sate Pestage. The box was personally bowed to by Chancellor 
  Valorum before the beginning of the opera. Senator Taa's box 
  discussed the meaning behind the personal nod from the Chan-
  cellor, listening to Palpatine's explanation closely. The tax bill 
  was delayed until after a Trade Summit to be held on Eriadu. 
  After a failed assassination attempt on Valorum, Orn Free Taa 
  stopped by to visit the fallen chancellor in the hospital, seeking 
  support for legislation. Taa hoped to convince the Chancellor to 
  cease blocking his attempts to reduce tariffs on the exporta-
  tion of Ryll spice from his native Ryloth. While at the hospital, 
  however, Palpatine's aide Sate Pestage planted information that 
  would implicate Chancellor Valorum in being in league with the 
  trade federation to invest stolen credits in Valorum Shipping and 
  Mid Rim Region Senators Sidebar: There were many other Senators in the Old Republic that served in office during the Clone 
  Wars, some of which are listed here.
  Senator Darsana: This Anselmi Senator from Glee Anselm was a supporter of the Loyalist Committee, and a sympathizer with 
  the plight of the Wookiees and their dealings with the neighboring Trandoshans.
  Senator Garlan Limoth: A human senator to the entire Trans-Nebular Sector, and was a suppoerter of Palpatine until he 
  declared himself Emperor.  The Senator was almost immediately assassinated while riding in his speeder.
  Senator Gorothin Vagger: An Aqualish Senator who represented not only his homeworld of Andosha II, but the entire Andoan 
  Free Colonies.  When Ando seceded from the Republic, Senator Vagger kept the Andoan Free Colonies a part of the Republic.
  Senator Gume Saam: This Ishi Tib represented his homeworld of Tibrin during the Clone Wars.
  Senator Jollin Resbin: This Sneevel Senator represented his homeworld of Sneeve and the rest of the Kastolar Sector.  He was 
  a suppoter of the Military Creation Act, going as far as hiring Sneevel Podracer Boles Roor to help him campaign in favor of the 
  Act.
  Senator Lavina Durada-Vashne Wren:  Senator of the Cularin Sector, Senator Wren found herself accused of collusion with 
  the Separatists.  She was placed in jail awaiting trial and the Cularin Sector was placed under Republic martial law.  The Senator 
  later escaped, and her fate is unknown.
  Senator Mousul: This Senator represented Ansion and the Ansion Sector, and was loyal to Commerce Guild President Shu Mai.  
  His plot to cede Ansion to the Separatists failed due to the intervention of Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, as 
  well as their Padawans, keeping the Ansion Sector and Senator Mousul in the Republic.  His loyalty, however, remained with Shu 
  Mai and the Separatists.
  Senator Polo Se'lab: Se’lab was a Bothan Junior Senator representing Bothan Space during the Clone Wars, and found himself 
  often disagreeing with Palpatine’s policies alongside close friend Barrister Sayer Mon Neela.  The two would eventually join the 
  Rebel Alliance.
  Senator R'shinnos Sh'neel: This M’shinn native of Genassa represented the M’Shinni Sector and respected the subtlety of 
  Chancellor Palpatine’s political prowess, commenting such during Palpatine’s bid for negotiation to Count Dooku just prior to the 
  official outbreak of the Clone Wars.
  Senator Silvu Donte: This Advosze represented his homeworld of Riflor, and was a member of the Zorzsin family, noted for 
  their ties to organized crime and the criminal underworld.
  Senator Tendau Bendon: An Ithorian Senator representing the Ottega Sector, Tendau Bendon was a vocal opponent of the 
  Military Creation Act, and a member of the Delegation of 2000.  He was one of 63 Senators of the Delegation of 2000 that were 
  arrested after Palpatine’s ascension to Emperor.
  Senator Yarua: A Wookiee representative of Kashyyyk for over one-hundred years, Yarua had many troubles with the Republic 
  during Palpatine’s tenure as Chancellor, nearly cedeing from the Republic on more than one occasion.  He was a great friend of the 
  Jedi, and shortly after Palpatine was declared Emperor, Yarua and his delegation were placed under arrest and never heard from 
  again.
  Senator Yudrish Sedran: Senator Sedran represented Chalacta and was a practitioner of the Chalactan faith, and friend of the 
  Chalactan Jedi Sar Labooda and Depa Billaba, who persuaded her to oppose the Military Creation Act.
  Senator Zurros: A corrupt Falleen Senator representing his homeworld of Falleen, Zurros attempted to play the Confederacy 
  against the Republic while maintaining his official Republic Senator status.  After nearly being assassinated by Quinlan Vos at 
  Dooku’s order, Zurros became a spy and puppet of the Separatists.

  THE REPUBLIC
  Trade, a shipping company on Eriadu owned by the chancellor's 
  relatives. When he discovered the information, Senator Taa 
  brought it first to Palpatine, wondering how best to use it. At 
  Palpatine's suggestion, Taa gave the information to Bail Antilles, 
  who was the chair of the Internal Investigations Committee. The 
  resulting scandal weakened Valorum's chancellorship consider-
  ably, much to the delight of Senator Taa, who threw a lavish 
  party after the proposed taxation of Outer Rim planets bill was 
  voted to go through. 
  Over the next several months, Orn Free Taa continued to 
  influence galactic events. With the chancellor weakened, Taa 
  suggested Mas Amedda as Vice-chair, well aware that the 
  Chagrian was a slave to procedure and bureaucracy. This further 
  tied the Chancellor's hands, making him largely ineffective. The 
  taxation of outlier trade routes resulted in a blockade of protest 
  by the Trade Federation, and events spiraled to culminate in a 
  vote of no confidence being taken on Chancellor Valorum. In the 
  blink of an eye Valorum lost his chancellorship, and Orn Free Taa 
  nominated Senator Palpatine of Naboo, believing him to be of a 
  similar mind and controllable. Little did Senator Taa realize the 
  events had all been manipulated by Palpatine himself. 
  Eleven months before the Clone Wars, the Separatists 
  declared themselves as a movement under the leadership of 
  Count Dooku. This threw the entire senate into disarray, as new 
  party lines were drawn up between the militarists and pacifists. 
  Orn Free Taa remained powerful, though he was no longer a 
  party leader. His attitude remained the same, however, and he 
  spared no opportunity to needle his political opponents in the 
  newsnets. He also took on a new advisor in fellow Rutian Twi'lek 
  Supi. 
  Two months before the Clone Wars, when Corellia decided 
  to turn to isolation instead of combat, Senator Taa joined with 
  Senator Ister Paddie to bash Corellia. Taa carefully pointed out 
  how much isolation is like secession, and reminded everyone 
  how Corellian Senator Garm Bel Iblis had recently spoken out 
  about the illegality of secession, both senators felt the move 
  selfish, as many worlds with far fewer war resources were 
  standing by the Republic. 
  A week later, Taa applauded Chancellor Palpatine's holo-
  net-wide offer to negotiate with Count Dooku to avoid war. 
  However, Taa expressed grave concern that none of the Senators 
  were first consulted on the content of the message and method 
  of delivery. Because Count Dooku did not respond to the offer 
  for peace, and because of Taa's statements, Palpatine created 
  the new Loyalist Committee a week later. The Loyalist Commit-
  tee was made up of ten Senators, including Orn Free Taa, which 
  would advise Palpatine on how to deal with the Separatist Crisis. 
  A week after the formation of the Loyalist Committee, Sena-
  tor Taa spat venom as his fellow corrupt senators. Four senators, 
  including close friend Senator Tikkes, were accused of having 
  ties to slavery and removed from office pending a trial. Taa told 
  the holonet news that he was horrified, and that the four sena-
  tors should have a taste of slavery themselves as punishment. A 
  week later Senator Tikkes escaped to join the Separatist Move-
  ment. Taa was desperate for necks to hang as a result, wonder-
  ing how a Senator could have bypassed all the security holding 
  him. His disgust with some of his fellow Senators was even more 
  apparent when a scandal was brought to light revealing two 
  senators had been gambling on which planets would be next 
  to secede from the Republic. However, Taa did support Senator 
  Simon Greyshade's failed attempt to generate tax revenue by 
  taxing casino's such as the many he owned on Vorzyd V. Taa felt 
  it was a voluntary tax for the stupid, and was dismayed that the 
  bill failed to pass. Taa spent the following two weeks keeping his 
  name in the holonets by making inflammatory statements and 
  appearing on newsnet shows such as Amberdawn. 
  Days before the Battle of Geonosis, Orn Free Taa was devoted 
  to getting the Military Creation Act passed, so that the Republic 
  would have an army with which to defend itself with. The same 
  day as the vote, there was an assassination attempt on Padmè 
  Amidala, Senator of Naboo. She was believed dead just as the 
  vote was about to be made, causing many who were against 
  the act to be swayed toward its creation. However, her sudden 
  appearance moments before the vote swung things rapidly 
  the other way. Senator Taa quickly motioned for the vote to be 
  deferred to slow the momentum against the act. 
  Voting on the Military Creation Act ultimately proved unnec-
  essary when a report from Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi revealed that 
  the Separatists had created a gigantic droid army on Geonosis. 
  The Chancellor was given emergency powers and immediately 
  formed a Grand Army of the Republic. The Clone Wars had 
  begun. 
  A year and two months later, the issue of defending the 
  contested planet Jabiim was brought before the Senate. As the 
  world was rich in ore, both sides of the conflict wanted to con-
  trol the otherwise useless planet. Orn Free Taa was outspoken 
  on the need to control Jabiim by supporting a sizable minority 
  that was loyalist. By this time in the war, Taa's most outspoken 
  political rival had become fellow Loyalist committee member 
  Bail Organa of Alderaan. 
  Orn Free Taa spent much of the next six months on Cor-
  uscant serving on the Loyalist Committee, advising Palpatine. 
  He noted that while Palpatine normally argued in favor of Bail 
  Organa, his actions usually ultimately reflected Orn Free Taa's

  wishes. After the battle on Jabiim ended, Orn Free Taa was 
  present to listen to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker's report on the 
  events. After most senate sessions the elite of the Senate would 
  congregate in a reception hall and discuss politics in a less 
  formal setting. Orn Free Taa took to making many deals at such 
  meetings, including one with the Senator from Chad, represent-
  ing the Chadra-Fan. 
  However, a year and seven months after the clone wars 
  began, much of Orn Free Taa's carefree lifestyle changed. 
  CIS Commander Asajj Ventress placed a bounty for a paltry 
  sixteen-thousand credits on his head, dead or alive. Senator Taa 
  was well aware that several successful assassination attempts 
  against Republic Senators had been made on Coruscant since 
  the Separatist crisis, including those on Senator Aks Moe, 
  Former-Chancellor Valorum, and Senator Viento. Taa feared both 
  Coruscant and his home world of Ryloth, and took to riding in 
  his hoversled, which he had equipped with a shield generator, 
  exclusively when out of his home. 
  Two months after the posting of the bounty, Senator Taa 
  lashed out against Corellia once again. Senator Fang Zar was 
  trying to rally support for defending isolationist Corellia, hoping 
  it could serve as a bulwark against a Separatist incursion after 
  the fall of Duro. Taa felt that Corellia deserved to be overrun, 
  since they did nothing to help the Republic when the Separatist 
  Crisis began. Taa maintained an angry and paranoid demeanor 
  through much of the remainder of the Clone Wars. 
  Six months before the end of the clone wars, in the wake 
  of what was thought to be Master Yoda's death, Orn Free Taa 
  suggested the formation of a security and counter-intelligence 
  force to be controlled directly by the office of the Chancellor. 
  While Yoda reports of Yoda's death were later revealed to be 
  incorrect, the act still passed. The security force would eventu-
  ally become the Internal Security Bureau (ISB) during the time of 
  the Galactic Empire. Ryloth was overrun by the Separatists dur-
  ing the Clone Wars and used as a droid reclamation plant, some-
  thing Orn Free Taa protested heavily until, eventually, Ryloth was 
  liberated during the Outer Rim Sieges. Fortunately, little harm 
  was done to the planet. While Orn Free Taa's fate is unknown, it 
  is possible that he was arrested by the Empire on charges of cor-
  ruption, and replaced with a senator more loyal to the Galactic 
  Empire. Ryloth itself remained Imperial aligned officially, while 
  secretly aiding the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

  Padmé Amidala – Republic Senator of Naboo
  This native of the planet of Naboo was born Padmé Naberrie, 
  the youngest daughter of Ruwee and Jubal Naberrie, twenty-
  four years before the Clone Wars began. As a child, Padmé 
  lived with her family in the mountain lake country of Varykino 
  near Theed with her older sister Sola. Padmé spent much of her 
  early life volunteering for the Refugee Relief Movement like her 
  father. However, Padmé admired the lifestyle of her grand-
  mother Winama, and also became a member of Naboo’s Legisla-
  tive Youth Program. When she was eight years old, Padmé was 
  accepted into the Apprentice Legislature. During her time there, 
  she met Thesme senator Silya Shessaun who became her men-
  tor. Within just three short years, Padmé became a full-fledged 
  Youth Legislator.
  By the age of twelve, Padmé had been appointed as Princess 
  of Theed. A year later, King Veruna renounced his throne, 
  and Padmé was persuaded by those around her to run in the 
  impending election. Because her platform opposed many of 
  the former King’s unfavorable standpoints on key issues, and 
  her natural popularity, she was elected Queen of Naboo at age 
  fourteen. Upon her appointment she took on the stately name, 
  Amidala, and was the youngest Queen ever elected in Naboo’s 
  history. As Amidala, she trained in martial combat with her new 
  Chief of Security, Captain Panaka. She also agreed to take on 
  several handmaidens to act as decoys, and sometimes allow 
  her handmaiden Sabé pose as Queen while Amidala took on the 
  personae of the handmaiden Padmé to help insure the Queen’s 
  safety. As her first official act as queen, she amended the Naboo 
  constitution to allow monarchy to only serve a maximum of two 
  terms.
  Not long after becoming Queen, Naboo came under blockade 
  by the Trade Federation. Despite her formidable talents with 
  diplomacy and negotiation, the Neimoidians that monopolized 
  the Trade Federation were in cahoots with the Dark Lord of the 
  Sith, Darth Sidious, who had no intentions of allowing such 
  debate to take place. Naboo had little in the way of natural 
  resources or industry, so it depended heavily on imports.

  THE REPUBLIC
  Amidala worked feverishly with Naboo’s senator, Palpatine, to 
  reach a satisfactory resolution to the matter. Supreme Chancel-
  lor Valorum even secretly dispatched two Jedi as delegates to 
  settle the dispute quickly and quietly. The Viceroy of the Trade 
  Federation attempted to have the delegates killed and acting 
  under the orders of Sidious, invaded Naboo – effectively ending 
  all possibilities for a diplomatic end to the situation.
  The Queen and her advisors were taken captive by Viceroy 
  Nute Gunray and his army of droids. They were about to be 
  imprisoned in a detention facility with the rest of the planet’s 
  inhabitants when the two Jedi delegates, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-
  Wan Kenobi, came to their rescue. With the Jedi’s help, Amidala 
  was able to escape the planet with Captain Panaka, the Royal 
  Handmaidens, and a small crew in the Queen’s sleek N-1 Nubian 
  transport. The ship was damaged during the escape, however, 
  and the group was forced to make a lay way on the desert 
  planet of Tatooine. 
  While the Jedi worked to acquire replacement parts for the 
  Queen’s ship, Amidala came across a young boy named Anakin 
  Skywalker who was enslaved to one of the junk dealers. She 
  became very close to this young one. After assisting the Queen 
  and her companions in obtaining the components needed to 
  repair the Queen’s vessel, Anakin was awarded his freedom 
  thanks to the dealings of Qui-Gon Jinn with his slave master, 
  Watto. Anakin accompanied the group to Coruscant, capital 
  of the Republic, to plead Naboo’s case to the Senate. During 
  their journey, Anakin and Padmé shared a moment where they 
  connected and Anakin gave her a necklace carved from a Japor 
  snippet. 
  Queen Amidala joined with Senator Palpatine to address the 
  Senate on Naboo’s invasion by the Trade Federation. Supreme 
  Chancellor Valorum was sympathetic to Amidala’s plight, but 
  was politically outmaneuvered by the delegates of the Trade 
  Federation. Senator Lott Dod of the Trade Federation demanded 
  a team of representatives be sent to Naboo to verify the Queen’s 
  claims, delaying the liberation of the Queen’s people. Acting 
  on Palpatine’s advice, Queen Amidala called for a vote of no 
  confidence in Valorum’s leadership of the Senate. When the 
  motion was seconded, Valorum had no choice but to resign from 
  his position. Proceedings were then set in motion to elect a new 
  Supreme Chancellor, but Amidala had grown impatient. 
  The Queen gathered her comrades and the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn 
  and Obi-Wan Kenobi and set a course back to Naboo to forcibly 
  free the citizens of her world. With the help of the Gungan Jar 
  Jar Binks, Amidala formed an alliance with the native Gungans 
  and launched an assault on Theed. An army of Gungans led by 
  Jar Jar Binks and Captain Tarpals faced off with the droid forces 
  of the Trade Federation. The battle served as a diversion while 
  the Queen and her security forces stormed the Royal Palace. 
  Queen Amidala and the Jedi were successful in capturing the 
  Viceroy and his aide Rune Haako while Naboo starfighter pilots 
  and Anakin Skywalker destroyed the droid control ship in orbit. 
  The Naboo crisis had come to an end, and the Trade Federation 
  leaders were sent back to Coruscant in chains, seemingly sure to 
  pay for their crimes.
  Having successfully liberated the Naboo and cementing an 
  alliance between the Naboo and Gungan race, Amidala gained 
  immense favor with her people. When the completion of her 
  second term as Queen approached, the Naboo tried to have the 
  constitution amended so Amidala could hold a third term, but 
  she refused and relinquished her throne to her successor, Queen 
  Jamilla. One of Jamilla’s first acts as Queen was the appoint-
  ment of Padmé Amidala as Senator of Naboo. Padmé graciously 
  accepted the honor and went on to serve Naboo and the rest of 
  the Chommell sector from the Galactic Senate.
  Two years before the Clone Wars when Amidala became a 
  member of the Senate, Count Dooku of Serenno began a seces-
  sionist movement and many star systems began breaking away 
  from the Republic. Many senators feared outright conflict and 
  proposed the Military Creation Act, allowing the Republic to 
  assemble and maintain a standing army as a precaution to war 
  with the newly formed Confederacy of Independent Systems. 
  Amidala was one of the most vocal oppositions to this proposi-
  tion and formed the Campaign Against Republic Militarization 
  to combat the Military Creation Act and its supporters. She was 
  then appointed to the Loyalist Committee, a group of select 
  senators that acted in an advisory capacity directly for the 
  Supreme Chancellor. 
  For two years, Amidala fought to oppose the Military 
  Creation Act, and during that time, two attempts had been 
  made on her life. It was believed that disgruntled spice miners 
  from one of the moons of Naboo were to blame, but Amidala 
  was convinced that Count Dooku was behind the assassination 
  attempts. She believed that Count Dooku wanted the struggle 
  to lead to all out war. To quell the pleas from the Chancellor, 
  Amidala accepted additional security from the Jedi Order. As 
  the Force would have it, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his 
  Padawan Anakin Skywalker were assigned to fulfill the task. 
  On their first night watch, Obi-Wan and Anakin foiled a third 
  assassination attempt on Padmé while she slept. This caused 
  the Chancellor to strongly urge Amidala to go into hiding until 
  the crisis was abated. Amidala blatantly refused because she 
  wished to be present when the fate of the Military Creation Act 
  was decided. However, it took the words from Padawan Anakin 
  Skywalker to ease her mind. 
  Skywalker escorted Amidala back to her home planet of 
  Naboo where she stayed with her family in the lake country. 
  It was then that Amidala began noticing her strong feelings 
  for Anakin, which her sister Sola realized immediately. Anakin 
  was deeply in love with Amidala, and confessed his feelings to 
  Padmé. Being a senator, a relationship could draw unwanted 
  attention to Padmé and Anakin’s adopted Jedi heritage forbade 
  relationships of an intimate nature. They contemplated begin-
  ning an intimate relationship and keeping it a secret, but Padmé 
  thought it would be too difficult for both of them. 
  Not long through their stay, Anakin began having horrid 
  nightmares about his mother, so Amidala agreed to accompany 
  him back to Tatooine. Upon their arrival, the pair tracked down 
  Shmi Skywalker’s last known whereabouts to a small homestead 
  near Mos Eisley where Shmi had married a man named Cliegg 
  Lars. Anakin and Padmé learned from the Lars family that Shmi 
  had been captured by Tusken Raiders one morning while she was 
  picking mushrooms from the moisture vaporators. Padmé stayed 
  at the Lars home while Anakin set out to find his mother.
  Skywalker returned to the Lars homestead absolutely 
  devastated. His mother had perished from wounds sustained 
  from the Sand People. Amidala attended Shmi’s modest funeral 
  and consoled Anakin over his loss. However, Anakin and Padmé 
  didn’t have long to grieve when Amidala’s droid R2-D2 received 
  a distress call from Obi-Wan Kenobi on Geonosis. Kenobi had 
  uncovered the Separatists preparing machines of war to launch 
  against the Republic, but was captured. Amidala and Anakin left 
  Tatooine and headed to Geonosis to come to Kenobi’s aid.
  
  THE REPUBLIC

  Anakin and Padmé arrived on Geonosis but their presence 
  was quickly detected and they were captured. They joined 
  Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Geonosian execution arena after being 
  sentenced to death by Count Dooku. Padmé’s strong will and 
  modest military training served her well and allowed her to sur-
  vive long enough for a contingent of over two-hundred Jedi to 
  arrive to rescue the trio. Padmé armed herself and participated 
  in the conflict, but the droid forces of the Separatists over-
  whelmed the Jedi and the survivors were cornered. 
  Just then, an entire army of clones led by Jedi Master Yoda 
  swooped in to save the day. An all out battle ensued between 
  the droid armies of the Confederacy and the newly discovered 
  Clone armies of the Republic. During the struggle Padmé was 
  knocked from one of the Republic gunships and separated from 
  Obi-Wan and Anakin. She hurried back to the bulk of the Repub-
  lic forces to gather reinforcements to help the Jedi pursue the 
  escaping Count Dooku. By the time she caught up with them, 
  however, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Yoda had already confronted 
  Count Dooku and the Serannoan noble managed to escape, not 
  before severing Anakin’s arm. The resulting battle at Geonosis 
  sparked a three-year long conflict that would come to be known 
  as the Clone Wars.
  After surviving the brush with death on Geonosis, Anakin 
  and Padmé were married in secret on Naboo, with the couples’ 
  droids C-3P0 and R2-D2 as witnesses to the nuptial. The union 
  proved extremely difficult for both of them, however, as Anakin 
  was thrust off to battle. Anakin began to sink farther and farther 
  towards the Dark Side from the bitterness of his separation from 
  Padmé. Padmé worried for her husband’s safety during the war 
  and for his sanity as she witnessed his slow descent to the Dark 
  Side. 
  Throughout the Clone Wars, Padmé continued her message 
  of peace, but it fell on deaf ears as most were in outrage over 
  the Confederacy and all but begged for conflict. In the fourth 
  month of the Clone Wars, Padmé had her own share of the 
  action while doing a favor for Master Yoda by ferrying him back 
  to Coruscant. During their journey Yoda felt that Jedi were in 
  danger. Padmé agreed to escort Yoda to the planet of Ilum to 
  provide assistance. When they arrived Yoda carried on to the 
  Jedi Temple present on the planet while Padmé and the droids 
  stayed behind with the ship. In Yoda’s absence, Padmé was 
  attacked by Confederate chameleon droids. Using her ingenuity, 
  and Threepio as a diversion she managed to defeat the droids 
  even though she was completely unable to see them.
  At the start of the second year of the Clone Wars, Padmé 
  accompanied Senator Bail Organa and his personal assistant 
  Sheltay Retrac to a luxurious gala on Coruscant hosted by 
  Senator Bezz Drexx. Organa was convinced that Drexx had been 
  receiving bribes from the Confederacy and urged Amidala to 
  keep an eye out for any suspicious activities that he could use as 
  proof of Drexx’s treachery. Padmé had also suspected misdoings 
  on Drexx’s part and had smuggled a small holo-recorder into 
  the event on C-3P0. Padmé and Sheltay slipped away from the 
  party when Drexx was called away on a private matter. The two 
  stealthily made their way to Drexx’s private tower where Padmé 
  witnessed a transaction between Bezz Drexx and the uncle 
  of Passel Argente - the Koorivar Magistrate of the Corporate 
  Alliance. Amidala was able to capture the bribe on her holo-
  recorder but was spotted while trying to make her exit. She was 
  forced to square off with one of Drexx’s brutes, but with the 
  help of Sheltay she was able to escape with the evidence intact. 
  Padmé and Sheltay delivered this evidence to Bail Organa and 
  Drexx was brought before the Senate on charges of treason.
  In the twenty-ninth month of the Clone Wars, Padmé had 
  an opportunity to reunite with her husband for a mission to the 
  planet Genian. A slicer by the name of Talesan Fry had created 
  a device that was capable of cracking Confederacy encryption 
  schemes and Amidala was opted to speak with Fry to negotiate 
  obtaining the device for the Republic. She succeeded in convinc-
  ing Fry to hand over the device, but the group was attacked by 
  the Bounty Hunter Magus. Talesan traveled with Amidala and 
  the Jedi back to the world of Azure where more conflict had 
  began. Magus followed the group to Azure and attempted to 
  steal the device for the Separatists. Amidala accompanied Jedi 
  Siri Tachi to apprehend Magus after he launched an attack on 
  Republic forces with his Corporate Alliance-supplied droids. Siri 
  Tachi leapt from their starfighter and confronted Magus, but 
  was ultimately killed in the struggle. Padmé piloted the ship to 
  safety while the Jedi succeeded in winning the battle on Azure.
  For three years Padmé sought to put an end to all of the 
  bloodshed of the Clone Wars, barely seeing her husband for 
  more than a few hours at a time over the course of months. 
  But the fighting drew closer and Coruscant was besieged by the 
  Confederacy. Chancellor Palpatine was captured, and Padmé 
  accompanied by Mon Mothma and Bail Organa were forced 
  to evade several Confederate Tri-fighters on their way to the 
  shelter with the other senators in deep under-city bunkers. This 
  attack had a silver lining, however, as it brought her husband 
  Anakin home. His homecoming gave her the opportunity to tell 
  Anakin that she was pregnant with his child. 
  The war had taken its toll on both Anakin and Padmé. Ami-
  dala had joined with a group of senators calling themselves the 
  Delegation of Two-Thousand, and pleaded with Palpatine to put 
  an end to the war and let diplomacy resume. In this faction of 
  the Senate, rumblings of Rebellion began to surface, but Padmé 
  distanced herself from the individuals while saying nothing 
  to Palpatine about the matter or doing anything to quell the 
  treasonous talk. Padmé had other matters on her mind. During 
  Anakin’s stay on Coruscant, Padmé began to see just how far 
  towards the Dark Side Anakin had slipped.
  Days after the attack on Coruscant, General Grievous was 
  tracked down and eliminated, all but ending the Clone Wars. 
  Unfortunately when that happened, the Jedi Temple went up 
  in flames. Padmé feared for Anakin’s safety, but the situation

  was far worse than she had realized. Anakin had apprenticed 
  himself to Chancellor Palpatine – secretly the Dark Lord of the 
  Sith – and under Sidious’ orders, stormed the Jedi Temple with 
  a legion of clone troopers and slaughtered its residents. Anakin 
  came to Padmé and told her that he was being sent on a mission 
  to neutralize the Separatist Council and put an end to the Clone 
  Wars once and for all. 
  Shortly after Anakin’s departure, Padmé was approached by 
  her old friend Obi-Wan Kenobi. She confided in Obi-Wan that 
  Anakin was the father of her unborn child, and he informed 
  her that Anakin had fallen to the Dark Side. Although she knew 
  in her heart that his words were true, she refused to betray 
  Anakin’s trust and would not tell Obi-Wan of Anakin’s where-
  abouts. Instead Padmé ran to Anakin to see for herself what her 
  husband had become, and to plead with him to turn away from 
  the Dark Side before it was too late. 
  When she arrived on Mustafar she discovered the man she 
  loved was no more, Anakin’s fall from the light was too severe. 
  Obi-Wan Kenobi had stowed away onboard her ship, and Anakin 
  thought Padmé had betrayed him. In a fit of rage, he used the 
  Force to choke the life from his beloved wife, but Kenobi goaded 
  him to direct Anakin’s anger onto himself to spare Amidala. She 
  fell to the ground unconscious. 
  By the time Padmé regained consciousness; she had been 
  taken to the Polis Massan medical center. Padmé’s vital signs 
  were dropping rapidly and the doctors discovered that Padmé 
  was carrying twins. They were forced to induce labor to insure 
  the survival of the infants. Padmé gave birth to a boy whom 
  she named Luke, and a girl whom she named Leia. She urged 
  Obi-Wan to care for her children and insisted that Anakin could 
  still be saved from the Dark Side before the last breaths of life 
  slipped from her lips. 
  The birth of the twins was kept a secret by the Polis Mas-
  sans, Obi-Wan, Yoda and Bail Organa. Obi-Wan spirited Luke 
  away to his family on Tatooine while Organa adopted Leia as his 
  own child on Alderaan. Padmé’s body was transported back to 
  her home planet of Naboo and was prepared in a manner as to 
  appear that the infants died with her. Amidala was honored in a 
  massive funeral precession led by her family, her colleges, and 
  Queen Apailana. She was laid to rest clasping the necklace given 
  to her by her husband in her hands.

  C-3PO – Protocol Droid
  C-3PO began his true existence in humble surroundings. 
  He was pieced together from various junk parts by nine year 
  old Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine some thirteen years before 
  the Clone Wars began. The majority of his AA-1 Verbobrain 
  was originally manufactured 90 years prior to the Clone Wars 
  from an assembly line on the planet of Affa. The circumstances 
  involving the dismantling of the original model is a mystery, 
  however, Anakin still managed to fashion a fully functional droid 
  brain from three separate ones that had various damage. The 
  droid was very proper and also possessed a finicky and often 
  worrisome personality. 3PO no doubt inherited these traits 
  uncommon to a droid by the means from which his brain was 
  cobbled together.
  3PO was assembled by the boy to assist his mother in her 
  daily duties for their slave owner Watto. Much to his embar-
  rassment, although fully functional, 3PO lacked cover plating. 
  He came to this realization the day he was introduced to Padmè 
  Naberrie and her astromech droid R2-D2 when he was first fully 
  activated. 3PO fought back his humiliation and assisted Padmè’s 
  feisty little astro droid with putting the finishing touches on 
  Anakin’s podracer. Anakin had volunteered his piloting skills for 
  the Boonta Eve race the following day to assist the Jedi Master 
  Qui-Gon Jinn who was stranded on the planet with his charge 
  Queen Amidala.
  Flying his master’s banner at Boonta Eve in Mos Espa, 3PO 
  watched on as Anakin beat the odds and won the race. Unbe-
  knownst to all but Watto and the Jedi Master, by winning the 
  race Anakin had inadvertently won his own freedom. 3PO was 
  forced to part company with his maker as young Anakin traveled 
  to Coruscant to train as a Jedi Knight. The droid stayed behind 
  on Tatooine to carry out his original function by assisting Shmi 
  Skywalker in her activities.
  For nearly ten years C-3PO was companion to Anakin’s 
  mother. When Watto sold Shmi to a moisture farmer near 
  Anchorhead, the protocol droid accompanied her. The moisture

  farmer, a human named Cliegg Lars, freed Shmi from slavery 
  and married her. Shmi used her new freedom to protect her 
  son’s invention from the coarse sands of Tatooine. She used 
  money to finally complete the droid by purchasing and installing 
  his long-missing cover plating. Although the plating was worn 
  and mismatched, it gave 3PO a sense of pride in at last being 
  completed.
  Threepio worked on the moisture farm for his masters up 
  until the days before the Battle of Geonosis gave way to the 
  Clone Wars. The droid’s maker, Anakin Skywalker, finally returned 
  to his home planet seeking out his mother. Unfortunately, Shmi 
  had been abducted by Tusken raiders nearly a month earlier 
  when she ventured out one morning to collect mushrooms 
  off of the vaporators. 3PO was deeply saddened when Anakin 
  returned with the lifeless body of Shmi in tow. After a brief 
  funeral ceremony, 3PO’s visitors received a distress call and Ana-
  kin reclaimed Threepio. The protocol droid accompanied Anakin, 
  Padmè and R2-D2 to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi from 
  the clutches of the wicked Count Dooku.
  From this point on, C-3PO and R2-D2 were nigh inseparable. 
  When Anakin and Padmè made their way into the Geonosian 
  catacombs, the droids were left behind to guard the ship. 
  However, Threepio bellyached all the way when Artoo was too 
  concerned with Padmè’s welfare and followed. Upon entering 
  the droid foundries of Geonosis, one false step landed Threepio 
  face down on the droid assembly lines. As he attempted to make 
  his escape, his head was knocked off and ejected into a bin con-
  taining the heads of battle droids. In a comical turn of events, 
  Threepio’s head was fastened to a battle droid chassis and his 
  body was adorned with the head of a battle droid. Both halves 
  of C-3PO then marched into the Geonosian arena propelled by 
  the battle droid counterparts to confront the Jedi Knights who 
  had rushed to Kenobi’s aid. During the conflict, Threepio’s head 
  was knocked free from the battle droid frame and the battle 
  droid controlling his body was destroyed. The pieces of 3PO 
  were quickly gathered up by Artoo Deetoo and reunited as the 
  battle around them spilled out of the arena and into the desert 
  plains of Geonosis. 
  After the fighting subsided on Geonosis, the Clone Wars 
  were under way. Threepio accompanied his master Anakin on 
  his mission to escort Senator Padmè Amidala back to her home 
  planet of Naboo. During his stay on Naboo, Threepio and Artoo 
  bore witness to the secret marriage of Anakin and Padmè. After 
  Outer Rim Region Senators Sidebar: There were many other Senators in the Old Republic that served in office during the Clone 
  Wars, some of which are listed here.
  Senator Fema Baab: This female senator of the Bajic Sector was a loyal supporter of Palpatine, and was one of the senators to 
  greet him on the landing platform after being rescued from General Grievous by Anakin Skywalker.  She was believed to be a spy 
  for Palpatine by Mon Mothma and Bail Organa.
  Senator Han Olbeg: Senatorial representative of Pitann and the Kathol Sector, Senator Olbeg was best known for speaking out 
  against gladatorial games, and the senators that supported the illegal sport.
  Senator Ivor Drake: This woman represented Kestos Minor and the Kwymar Sector during the Clone Wars, and was a mem-
  ber of the Delegation of 2000.  She was one of 63 Senators to be arrested from the Delegation of 2000 after Palpatine became 
  Emperor, and was never heard from again.
  Senator Rasit Brun: This senator of the world Rintoone and the Lambda Sector was a vocal opponent of the Trade Federation 
  and their Senator Lott Dodd in the days leading up to the Clone Wars. 
  Senator Rennimdius B'thog Indriummsegh: This Elomin Senator of Elom was also the leader of the Elomin Council on Elom.  
  During his tenure as Senator, the Elom were granted near-equal rights to the Elomin, much to the Senator’s chagrin.  He had a rela-
  tive who was later a Declaration of the New Republic signitory. 
  Senator Shea Sadashassa: Senator to the planet Herdessa, situated between Hutt Space and the Corporate Sector, Senator 
  Sadashassa was a member of the Delegation of 2000.  Like many members of the Delegation of 2000, she was arrested shortly 
  after Palpatine was declared Emperor along with 62 other Senators.  She was never heard from again.
  Senator Simon Greyshade: Senator Greyshade rose to his station in the Republic representing Vorzyd V and the Commonal-
  ity after his cousin was assassinated.  He was a corrupt young show-off, and one of his many hot-rod speeders was “borrowed” 
  by Anakin Skywalker to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi during a deadly chase on Coruscant.  He resigned after Palpatine declared himself 
  Emperor, and took over as administrator on The Wheel, a space station that doubled as a gambling resort, where he eventually died 
  after running afoul of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo.
  Senator Sweitt Concorkill: This Vurk Senator of the planet Sembla was a member of the Delegation of 2000, and attended a 
  rendition of Squid Lake at the Galaxies Opera House during the same showing as Chancellor Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker.
  Senator Veedaaz Awmetth: Senator Awmetth was formerly of the Sarrish Defense Forces, but eventually was elected Senator 
  of his native homeworld of Sarrish and the Vensensor Sector.  He was one of many former colleagues that attended Senator Padme 
  Amidala’s funeral on Naboo.
  Senator Zo Howler: This Anx Senator represented Gravlex Med and the Raioballo Sector after Senator Horox Ryyder retired.  
  Senator Howler held many of the same political leanings that Ryyder did, and was felt a worthy sucessor by Horox Ryyder.  He was 
  usually accompanied by aide Fo Kuna.

  their return to Coruscant, Threepio stayed with Padmè while 
  Anakin went off to war.
  While Anakin was away taking part in the Clone Wars, 
  Threepio fell under the care of Amidala. Threepio was charged 
  with various diplomatic tasks by the senator. One such assign-
  ment saw him assisting the Naboo Royal Council serving as a 
  liason to the Jedi during the Ohma-D’un crisis during the third 
  month of the war. Though many of his duties kept him anchored 
  on Coruscant or Naboo, the droid saw his fair share of travel and 
  adventure.
  In the fourth month of the Clone Wars Artoo and Threepio 
  accompanied Senator Amidala in escorting Jedi Master Yoda 
  back to Coruscant. While en route, the tiny green Jedi sensed 
  his comrades in danger on the planet Ilum. The band traveled 
  to the icy planet to rescue Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and her 
  apprentice Barriss Offee. Confederacy chameleon droids had 
  succeeded in collapsing the Jedi Temple there, burying the two 
  Jedi under tons of rubble. While Yoda pressed onto the temple, 
  Threepio stayed behind at the ship with Amidala and Artoo. As 
  they waited, the ship came under attack by more chameleon 
  droids. Much to his dismay, Amidala used Threepio as a decoy to 
  lure the chameleon droids out of hiding so she could dispatch 
  the stealthy attackers.
  In the final months of the Clone Wars, Padmè gave R2-D2 to 
  Anakin as a present, and Anakin in turn gifted Threepio to her. 
  Threepio was secretly tasked with watching out for Padmè’s well 
  being. 3PO continued to carry out his normal duties for Padmè 
  in the Senate and occasionally with the Naboo Royal Council. 
  Amidala felt that Threepio’s appearance needed improvement 
  if he was to serve as a protocol droid in the Senate. The Naboo 
  senator had his rusted gray coverings replaced with brand new 
  shiny gold ones. Either by chance or intention, however, the 
  right shin plate was replaced by a contrasting silver covering; all 
  but signifying Threepio’s modest beginning.
  As the Clone Wars came to a close, Threepio became privy to 
  a great deal of Amidala and Skywalker’s secrets. He was aware 
  of the senator’s pregnancy and that his maker, Anakin Skywalker, 
  was likely the father. He had been present at several of the 
  Loyalist Committee gatherings as well as the clandestine meet-
  ings with senators such as Bail Organa and Mon Mothma at the 
  Alderaanian senator’s Cantham House. Threepio even learned of 
  Anakin’s fall to the Dark Side shortly after the Jedi Temple was 
  assaulted by the 501st clone trooper legion, though he refused 
  to believe it. Unfortunately he would witness his maker’s fall 
  from grace first hand in the days following.
  Threepio accompanied Padmè to the volcanic industrial 
  world of Mustafar to confront Anakin about what he had done 
  at the Jedi Temple and to attempt to convince him to reconsider 
  the path he had chosen. When they arrived it became apparent 
  that Anakin was too far gone to be redeemed. Unbeknownst to 
  Amidala and Threepio, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi had stowed 
  aboard their craft in an effort to locate Anakin. The protocol 
  droid watched in horror as Anakin lashed out through the Force 
  and attempted to choke the life out of Amidala for what he 
  believed was her betrayal.
  As Anakin and Obi-Wan crossed lightsabers, Artoo and 
  Threepio carried the unconscious Padmè onboard her ship so 
  that she could receive medical attention. After a short while, 
  Obi-Wan returned to the transport carrying Anakin’s lightsaber. 
  Threepio feared the worst, but unquestionably piloted Amidala’s 
  ship into space. The group made their way to the Polis Massan 
  asteroid field and rushed Padmè to the medical center. Threepio 
  waited with Artoo, Bail Organa, Obi-Wan and Yoda as the sena-
  tor gave birth to twins. He looked on in sadness as his master 
  slipped away into death after naming her offspring: Leia and 
  Luke.
  Threepio and Artoo then came into the ownership of 
  Alderaanian Senator Bail Organa. However, Threepio knew too 
  much about all the things that had transpired such as the secret 
  meetings, the birth of the twins and Anakin’s fall to the Dark 
  Side. Organa put the droids under the care of Raymus Antilles, 
  brother-in-law and captain of Bail’s courier, the Tantive IV. Bail 
  ordered that Threepio memory banks be wiped clean. Dur-
  ing his memory wipe, Threepio was programmed with specific 
  subroutines that prohibited him from revealing any information 
  about his past before the memory wipe to prevent any possibil-
  ity of any erased information being recovered. Antilles then put 
  Threepio to work programming binary load lifters in the Tantive 
  IV’s cargo bay.
  A year later Threepio and Artoo both were still serving 
  onboard the Tantive IV, but Threepio also participated in such 
  duties as assisting the Royal House of Organa on Alderaan. 
  However, one day during an escape pod training drill onboard 
  the Tantive IV the ship was attacked by pirates the Antilles 
  was forced to flee the scene, leaving the escape pods behind. 
  Unfortunately, See-Threepio and Artoo-Deetoo were passengers 
  on one of the escape pods and were accidentally abandoned by 
  their master. Bail Organa placed top priority on their recovery, 
  but Threepio as his companion were thrust into a series of 
  adventures and traded hands amongst dozens of owners over 
  the next eighteen years.
  Approximately one year before the Battle of Yavin took place 
  Threepio and his counterpart were reclaimed by the Royal House 
  of Organa on Alderaan, and the two droids were returned to 
  their post onboard the Tantive IV. Threepio also began secretly 
  working in a diplomatic capacity for the Rebel Alliance, nego-
  tiating coalitions and treaties with various alien worlds. This 
  would go on until the Tantive IV was attacked by Darth Vader’s 
  Star Destroyer Devastator orbiting Tatooine. Threepio accom-
  panied Artoo into an escape pod once more and the pair fled to 
  the desert planet below. 
  Shortly thereafter, Threepio and Artoo were scooped up 
  by a Sandcrawler of Jawas. In due time Threepio was sold to a 
  moisture farmer named Owen Lars, and after a small amount 
  of convincing, succeeded in persuading Owen to purchase 
  R2-D2 as well. Threepio and his little companion were placed in 
  the care of Owen’s nephew, Luke Skywalker. While young Luke 
  was cleaning and preparing the two droids for their duties, he 
  stumbled upon a recorded message from Princess Leia Organa 
  of Alderaan. The message contained pleas for assistance from a 
  former Jedi named Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke surmised that an old 
  hermit named Ben Kenobi who lived out beyond the Dune Sea 
  might be familiar with this Obi-Wan character. However, when 
  Threepio and Luke awoke the next morning Artoo Deetoo was 
  missing. 
  Threepio and Luke set out to locate the feisty little astro 
  droid and after much searching, Artoo was discovered in a can-
  yon several kilometers from the Lars Homestead. While Threepio

  attack, Threepio lost his footing and slipped down the canyon 
  wall. Fortunately Ben Kenobi came to the group’s rescue. When 
  C-3PO was recovered by Luke and Kenobi, he was moderately 
  damaged – his arm having broken off from its joint. The party

  gathered up the worrisome protocol droid and made haste to 
  Kenobi’s dwelling before more Sand People arrived. 
  While in Ben Kenobi’s hut, Artoo revealed the message to 
  Kenobi from Princess Leia. Threepio’s secret programming was 
  forced into play and the droid shut down when the subject of 
  Anakin Skywalker arose between Ben and Luke. After Threepio 
  reactivated, the group headed towards Anchorhead to bring 
  Kenobi, who was actually Obi-Wan, to the nearest star port. 
  While en route they discovered a battered Sandcrawler and Luke 
  recognized it as the same Jawas that sold Threepio and Artoo 
  to his uncle. Luke left Threepio and Artoo with Kenobi and sped 
  home to check on his aunt and uncle. When he returned Luke 
  revealed to the party that his entire home had been destroyed 
  by the Empire. With no ties keeping him on Tatooine, Luke 
  decided to accompany Kenobi to Alderaan.
  Threepio accompanied the group to Mos Eisley where they 
  encountered a smuggler named Han Solo and his Wookiee 
  co-pilot Chewbacca. After a brief run-in with a local platoon of 
  stormtroopers, the fellowship blasted their way out of the Mos 
  Eisley space port in Han’s ship, the Millennium Falcon, and made 
  their way to Alderaan. While en route, Threepio passed the time 
  by watching Artoo and Chewbacca play holo-chess. Threepio 
  advised Artoo to change his tactics with the comment, “Let the 
  Wookiee win”. The mood was more serious when they finally 
  arrived at their destination. Alderaan had been completely 
  obliterated. No sooner had they made this discovery, the group 
  was pulled into a moon-sized space station via tractor beam. 
  To avoid capture, Threepio and the others hid inside smuggling 
  compartments that Solo had installed into the deck of his ship. 
  They all snuck onboard the Death Star and headed into the 
  docking bay’s control room. Threepio and Artoo analyzed the 
  floor plans of the immense battle station and located the power 
  station for the tractor beam. During their search, the droids also 
  discovered that Princess Leia was onboard and scheduled to be 
  executed.
  Threepio and Artoo were left behind in the control room 
  while the rest of the team set out to deactivate the tractor 
  beam and save the princess. While they waited, stormtroopers 
  forced their way into the control room. Threepio managed to 
  convince the shock troops that he was a member of the station’s 
  droid compliment and that he and Artoo were forcibly locked in 
  a storage closet by the infiltrators. He then smooth talked his 
  way out of the control room by persuading a stormtrooper that 
  Artoo was in need of maintenance. 
  The two droids then made their way to a storage room off 
  of the hangar where the Millenium Falcon was docked and 
  attempted to contact his master. Luke, Han, Leia and Chewie had 
  managed to escape an onslaught of stormtroopers by diving into 
  a trash compactor. Only now, the garbage masher had activated 
  and their lives were once again in danger. Threepio instructed 
  Artoo to shut down the trash compactor and unseal the hatch 
  so his master and his companions could escape. Soon afterward 
  the group managed to successfully escape the battle station 
  thanks to Obi-Wan sacrificing himself in a duel with Darth 
  Vader.
  Threepio and his comrades hastily made their way to Yavin 
  IV to deliver technical read-outs of the Death Star to the Rebel 
  Alliance that Artoo had been carrying in his memory banks. 
  Unfortunately the Empire had placed a tracking device on Han’s 
  ship and the massive Death Star hot on their tails. The rebels 
  launched a seemingly doomed offensive on the planet killer. 
  Threepio waited helplessly in the control center of the Rebel 
  base as his master took part in the battle. In a startling turn of 
  events, Luke Skywalker delivered a fatal blow on the Empire and 
  destroyed the entire battle station.
  Threepio continued to serve the core membership of the 
  Rebel Alliance on a number of diplomatic missions for a number 
  of years. After Rebels evacuated Yavin IV, the group erected 
  a new base on the ice world of Hoth and Threepio followed. 
  Darth Vader led a task force specifically formed to root out and 
  destroy the Rebellion, however, and three years after the Battle 
  of Yavin the rebel base was once again discovered. Threepio 
  accompanied Princess Leia, Han Solo and Chewbacca in the Mil-
  lennium Falcon as they made their escape. 
  During their journey the Empire pursued them through an 
  asteroid field. Threepio endured much anxiety from Solo’s prow-
  ess at piloting a starship. Unfortunately, Han’s ship was already 
  in poor shape and they were forced to seek refuge in a gigantic 
  cave to conduct repairs. Han ordered Threepio to plug into the 
  Falcon’s computer system to determine the source of the myriad 
  of problems. When Han and the others ventured outside to 
  chase off mynocks, they made a startling discovery. Without a 
  word the group rushed back inside and took flight to escape the 
  cave as quickly as possible. Only after their escape did Threepio 
  and the others realize they had been in the belly of an enormous 
  space slug. Threepio and the others then had to limp to the 
  planet Bespin where Lando Calrissian, friend of Han Solo, ran a 
  mining operation at a location known as Cloud City.
  No sooner had they arrived at the magnificent floating city, 
  Threepio encountered stormtroopers waiting for the group and 
  he was blasted to pieces. When the others realized he was miss-
  ing, Chewbacca discovered the mangled droid in a junk pile and 
  attempted to reassemble him. Before the Wookiee could finish 
  the repairs, the Empire seized the party and interrogated them.

  THE REPUBLIC
  The Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, experimented on Solo by 
  placing him in carbonite. Threepio, toted on Chewbacca’s back 
  in a sack of parts, instantly realized that provided Solo survived 
  the process that he would be quite well protected. Solo was 
  then carted off by the bounty hunter Boba Fett to be delivered 
  to Jabba the Hutt.
  With the help of Lando Calrissian, Threepio and the others 
  managed to escape Cloud City as well as rescue Luke Skywalker 
  who had come to their rescue. As they fled to the safety of deep 
  space, Artoo worked to reassemble Threepio properly. Threepio 
  and the others then began preparations to rescue Han Solo from 
  Jabba. The protocol droid and his allies traveled to several worlds 
  including Coruscant where Threepio and Artoo were forced to 
  pilot the Millenium Falcon in an attempt to rescue Princess Leia 
  from the clutches of the Black Sun crime lord Xizor when she 
  approached the Falleen for information on Han’s whereabouts.
  A year after the Battle at Hoth, Threepio and Artoo were 
  sent to the palace of Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine as a part of 
  the rescue mission. Threepio was stunned to realize that his 
  master Luke had gifted C-3PO and R2-D2 to the vile gangster 
  and the two were forced to serve the slug-like Hutt. Threepio 
  acted as a translator to Jabba since the crime lord had destroyed 
  his previous one and the position had since been vacant. He 
  mediated the visitation of several guests including Princess Leia 
  posing as the bounty hunter Boussh and Luke Skywalker. After 
  the young Luke managed to survive Jabba’s rancor, he sentenced 
  them all to death and carried them out into the desert to feed 
  them to the Sarlaac in the Pit of Carcoon. During the execution, 
  Luke managed to escape and retrieved his lightsaber from Artoo 
  Deetoo and battled with Jabba’s henchmen to free his friends.  
  In the struggle Threepio tumbled off of the deck of Jabba’s 
  Sail barge and landed head first in the sand. When Skywalker 
  succeeded in liberating his comrades, Threepio and Artoo were 
  gathered up and the group darted away to safety. 
  Threepio and the others rendezvoused with the Rebel Alli-
  ance near Sullust. The Rebels planned to attack the Empire’s 
  construction yard for the second Death Star. Threepio and Artoo 
  accompanied Han Solo, Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Chew-
  bacca, and a team of Rebel commandos to the Sanctuary Moon 
  of Endor. Their mission was to disable the shield generator pro-
  tecting the battle station in orbit. While en route to the shield 
  generator the team was intercepted by the natives to the planet, 
  the short and fuzzy Ewoks. The tribal Ewoks mistook Threepio 
  as one of their deities and worshipped him. After some clever 
  manipulation on Luke’s part, Threepio convinced their captors 
  to release the Rebels. The Ewoks then agreed to assist Threepio’s 
  master and his comrades in their mission. 
  The entire mission was a trap set by the Emperor, however, 
  and an entire legion of stormtroopers ambushed the Rebels on 
  the forest moon’s surface. Threepio and Artoo staged a diversion 
  to throw the Empire’s troops off guard and the Ewoks launched 
  a surprise attack. With the help of the Ewok tribe, the Rebel 
  Alliance was able to defeat the Emperor’s army and gain access 
  to the shield generator. When the shield bunker was destroyed, it 
  allowed the Rebel fleet in orbit to complete their task by enter-
  ing the Death Star’s superstructure and destroying the main 
  reactor. This set off a major chain reaction that destroyed the 
  entire battle station, effectively toppling the Empire and restor-
  ing peace throughout the galaxy.
  Threepio continued to assist the Rebel Alliance as it slowly 
  grew into the New Republic and became the dominant govern-
  ing body in the galaxy. He was involved in an uncountable 
  number of adventures. Five years after the Empire crumbled; 
  Threepio became the assistant caregiver to the Solo twins and a 
  year later to Anakin Solo. All in all he served the Skywalker fam-
  ily in one form or another for decades.

  Jar Jar Binks – Naboo Representative
  Jar Jar Binks was born to George Binks, a powerful military 
  commander in the Gungan Grand Army. Unfortunately, Jar Jar 
  was something of a disappointment, and his antics may have 
  contributed to putting both of his parents into an early grave. 
  He grew up on the streets of Otoh Gunga, surviving by joining a 
  gang led by another Gungan named Tarpals. Eventually, Tarpals 
  joined the Gungan Grand Army himself, and petitioned for a 
  position in the government for Jar Jar tending to a zoo. Natu-
  rally, Jar Jar's clumsiness contributed to the escape of many of 
  the animals, and after he managed to cause Boss Nass' Heyblib-
  ber to crash, the Gungan Grand Council had finally had enough. 
  Jar Jar was banished from Otoh Gunga. 
  Jar Jar spent the next several years wandering Naboo's for-
  est and swampy areas, foraging for food. Ten years before the 
  Clone Wars would engulf the galaxy, Jar Jar happened across 
  Jedi Master Qui Gon Jinn, who saved him from being trampled 
  by a Trade Federation MTT Transport. In return, Jar Jar risked 
  execution to show the Jedi the way to Otoh Gunga. Fortunately, 
  the grateful Jedi used a mind trick to ensure the troublesome 
  Gungan's freedom. 
  Jar Jar's association with the Jedi eventually led him off of 
  Naboo and, by accident, to Tatooine. There Jar Jar met future 
  Jedi Anakin Skywalker, who saved him after Jar Jar upset a bowl

  of food being eaten by podracer Sebulba. In order to help leave 
  Tatooine and get to Coruscant to garner support against the 
  invasion of Naboo, Jar Jar helped Anakin fix his podracer and 
  watched him race it to victory. On Coruscant, Queen Amidala 
  made clear the danger both the humans and the Gungans faced, 
  and Jar Jar let her know about the powerful army the Gungans 
  maintained. 
  Jar Jar's comments sparked an idea in the young queen's 
  mind, and she returned with Jar Jar and the Jedi to Naboo. 
  There, Jar Jar's presence helped broker an alliance between the 
  Gungans and the Naboo. Together, they executed a daring plan 
  to rid Naboo of the Trade Federation invasion army. Eagar to do 
  his part, Jar Jar was made a General in the Gungan Grand Army, 
  alongside General Ceel. Jar Jar proved extremely unskilled at 
  command but lucky in personal combat, and was responsible for 
  the destruction of several battle droids and quite a few battle 
  tanks as well. 
  Luckily, Jar Jar found himself able to extricate himself from 
  a combat posting, and instead became Former Queen and 
  now Senator Padmè Amidala's partner in the Galactic Senate. 
  Officially, he was a junior representative, and was on Coruscant 
  to represent the views of the Gungans to Senator Amidala and 
  provide political council. In reality, Jar Jar merely served as a 
  friend and confidante for Padmè, someone with whom she 
  could be herself and forget about the scrutiny she was under as 
  a Senator. 
  Jar Jar remained a clumsy oaf even during his time in the 
  senate. He attended many fundraisers and galas, but quickly 
  developed the reputation that had made him so unwelcome 
  in Otoh Gunga. Four and a half months before the Battle of 
  Geonosis, during the Endangered Shreebird Aviary grand open-
  ing on Coruscant, Jar Jar accidentally deactivated the sky dome, 
  causing the birds to fly out of the exhibit. Two months later, he 
  accidentally destroyed an ice statue crafted by famous sculptor 
  Kime Enanrum. Two weeks before the Clone Wars, a level five 
  alert was issued by the Senate Guard when Jar Jar Binks was 
  discovered to be missing at a gala fundraiser for the Refugee 
  Relief Movement on Alsakan. He was later found to have locked 
  himself inside a foyer cloakroom by mistake. 
  A little over a week later, when the fate of the Military 
  Creation Act was to be decided by vote in the Senate, Padmè 
  Amidala was the subject of assassination attempts. In the wake 
  of the attacks, she was put under Jedi protection and sent off 
  of Coruscant, leaving Representative Binks in charge. When it 
  was later revealed that Padmè was captured, along with Anakin 
  Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, it was easy for Palpatine to 
  manipulate the simple-minded Gungan into motioning to give 
  the Chancellor emergency powers to bypass voting on the 
  Military Creation Act and instead decide himself. Of course, 
  Palpatine formed the Grand Army of the Republic, and sent it to 
  Geonosis, where the Clone Wars began. 
  Jar Jar spent the rest of the Clone Wars silent at Padmè’s 
  command, and when she died three years later, was made Sena-
  tor. He remained a quiet member of the Senate, and eventually 
  retired. Shortly after retirement, he married and had children. 
  His son, Abso Bar Binks, saw the Galactic Empire for what it was, 
  and joined the Rebellion against the Empire.

  Ronet Coorr – Republic Senator of Iseno
  Ronet Coorr was a vocal Bimm who represented the militant 
  Inner Rim world of Iseno in the Galactic Senate. His small stature 
  belied his great political skill, and he was close friends with 
  Senator Onaconda Farr of Rodia, and he was just as corrupt as 
  his colleague. A month and a half before the Battle of Geonosis, 
  Chancellor Palpatine formed a Loyalist Committee to advise 
  him on matters relating to the Separatist Crisis, which included 
  Senator Coorr as one of the ten committee members. Nearly 
  a month later, Coorr joined his friend Senator Farr in mocking 
  the newly restructured Senate Bureau of Intelligence, picking 
  an argument with Official Vyn Narcassan, who claimed there 
  were transmissions of unheard of stealth coming in and out of 
  Coruscant. Ronet Coorr marked the official a conspiracy theorist 
  and publicly mocked him. 
  Less than a week after his run-in with SBI, Coorr traveled 
  from Coruscant to Alsakan to participate in the Refugee Relief 
  Movement Fundraiser, which was being attended by the big-
  gest political and popular culture names in the galaxy. Coorr 
  spent some time with celebrity gossip columnist Dyslogia 
  Twang regarding traffic on Coruscant, a topic he was unable to 
  extricate himself from all evening. Coorr nonetheless got his 
  name circulating around the Holonet, and it was well regarded 
  by political analysts trying to gauge the results of the upcom-

  ing Military Creation Act that Ronet Coorr would vote in favor, 
  along with his good friend Senator Farr, who was now also on 
  the Loyalist Committee. 
  The Analysts were correct, though it didn't matter as, days 
  later, Chancellor Palpatine was awarded Emergency Powers and 
  created the Grand Army of the Republic on his own, delight-
  ing Senator Coorr. A Republic Naval Fleet had been stationed 
  at Iseno in order to reinforce Duro if necessary, but a bribe by 
  Senator Farr of several million credits, as well as exclusive con-
  tracts for rebuilding on Ando, convinced Senator Coorr to send a 
  large segment of the fleet to the Rodia-Ando battlefront. 
  The act cost Ronet Coorr his political career, as Duro was 
  attacked twenty-one months into the Clone Wars by General 
  Grievous and the CIS forces taking part in Operation Durge's 
  Lance. Twenty-two months into the Clone Wars, Senator Coorr 
  tendered his resignation following the findings of a month-
  long investigation of the mismanagement surrounding the fall 
  of Duro. Senator Coorr was officially censured, and criminal 
  charges were made, though his fate is unknown.

  Shayla Paige-Tarkin – Republic Senator of 
  Eriadu
  Shayla Paige-Tarkin was a female human from the industri-
  ous world of Eriadu who served as senator to the Seswenna 
  sector in the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars. Paige-Tar-
  kin assumed the position of Senator sometime after the death of 
  Senator Ranulph Tarkin some twenty-two years before the Clone 
  Wars. Even though she had married into the Tarkin family, she 
  was no less devout in her support of the Republic and the office 
  of the Supreme Chancellor. In the months preceding the Battle 
  of Geonosis when the Sluis sector seceded from the Republic 
  and allied with the Separatists, Paige-Tarkin made a point to 
  re-double Seswenna’s allegiance to the Republic and express her 
  disdain for the growing chaos in the Outer Rim stemming from 
  the splintering of the Republic worlds.
  Paige-Tarkin was one of the most devoted supporters of 
  Supreme Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars. In the 
  thirtieth month of the war, Shayla was called upon by Palpatine 
  to take part in an extremely sensitive discussion that could 
  have grave consequences for the worlds she represented. The 
  Separatist admiral Pors Tonith had led a fleet onto the planet 
  of Praesitlyn and conquered, taking control of a major Republic 
  hyper-communications node to the Outer Rim. Tonith could 
  then use Praesitlyn as a staging point to begin taking planets in 
  the Seswenna sector which would gain the Confederacy a major 
  foothold to venture Coreward along the Rimma Trade Route. 
  A former pirate named Zozridor Slayke who led a military 
  group known as the Freedom’s Sons and Daughters fought 
  desperately against the Separatist forces occupying Praesitlyn 
  and required assistance from the Republic. Unfortunately the 
  only forces that the Republic could spare were twenty thousand 
  troops stationed at Coruscant on the moon of Centax One. 
  Moving an entire legion of troops away from the capital could 
  be construed as a bad idea by many senators and despite his 
  emergency powers, Palpatine wanted the majority of the Senate 
  to support his decision before moving forward. Palpatine begged 
  those present at the secret meeting to utilize their good stand-
  ing in the Senate to influence more senators to support this 
  strategy. Paige-Tarkin gladly pledged her support to Palpatine 
  and swayed many senators to Palpatine’s side on the issue.

  Silya Shessaun – Republic Senator of Thesme
  Silya Shessaun was an unlikely candidate for Senator, though 
  it was always known she was do great things as a politician. She 
  had been enrolled in political career prep schools and the Legis-
  lative Youth Program since she could talk, even meeting Padmè 
  Amidala at a summit on Alderaan months before the young 
  girl from Naboo was elected Princess of Theed. Despite being 
  five years her senior, the two became fast friends and kept up a 
  relationship through holonet messaging. A year after the Battle 
  of Naboo, just before Silya turned twenty-one, Silya became 
  the first member of Thesme's working class to be elected to the 
  Galactic Senate. It imparted on her a humble compassion that 
  many blue-blood senators lacked. 
  At the time, Senator Shessaun was the youngest human ever 
  to be elected Senator, a distinction she would lose years later 
  to Senator Mon Mothma of Chandrilla. Silya Shessaun's first 
  seven years in office were filled with humanitarian projects and 
  a variety of relief programs throughout the galaxy. Two years 
  before the Clone Wars would sweep across the Galaxy, Silya was 
  delighted to find that her good friend Padmè Amidala would 
  be moving to Coruscant. Padmè's term as Queen of Naboo had 
  ended, and the new Queen Jamilia had immediately appointed 
  her Senator from Naboo. Silya took great care to once again act 
  There were many other Senators in the Old Republic that served in office during the Clone Wars, some of which are listed here.
  Senator  Boganni Hrul: Senator Hrul represented his homeworld of Ord Thoden, and was in office when the infamouse Baby 
  Ludi was taken into the Jedi Order after a major groundquake on his planet against the mother’s wishes. 
  Senator Candabrine Bu: This strong female represented Lansono, and was a devout militarist, speaking against Palpatine’s

  Senator Edcel Bar Gane: A Roonan representing his homeworld of Roona, Senator Bar Gane was a noticed speciest, and was 
  best known for seconding the Vote of No Confidence in Chancellor Valorum.  He allied himself politically with other corrupt sena-
  tors such as Orn Free Taa and Toonbuck Toora, and was a Palpatine supporter.
  Senator Farazzish: Senator Farazzish co-represented Virujansi along with Senator Templeton, both were outspoken against 
  Palpatine’s declaration of a Galactic Empire, and were taken into custody on Virujansi’s moon Captivity.  They were later rescued by 
  the Rebel Alliance.
  Senator Gopple: A corrupt senator representing Erigorm, Gopple was on the Procurement Panel of the Senate Navy Subcom-
  mittee famous for cutting corners when it came to military equipment to line his own pockets.  He was often vocally attacked by 
  Admiral Jerjerrod.
  Senator Grebleips: This Child of the Green Planet represented Brodo Asogi, and was best known for sending an expedition to 
  another galaxy.  Senator Grebleips was also a member of the Delegation of 2000, and was arrested when the Empire was formed 
  and never heard from again.
  Senator Rhya Taloon: This senator from Agridorn was a vocal opponent of Palpatine’s centralized power, and discovered she 
  was marked for assassination as soon as the Empire was officially declared.  She escaped to Coruscant’s lower levels to become a 
  member of “the erased” only to be killed in a stormtrooper raid of their base.
  Senator Solipo Yeb: Senator Yeb represented his homeworld of Andalia, and was known to have expensive taste in wardrobe, 
  typically fancy cloaks that covered him head to toe.

  2000, which subsequently got him and 62 other senators arrested after the Empire was formed.  He was never heard from again.
  Senator Templeton: Senator Templeton co-represented Virujansi along with Senator Farazzish, both were outspoken against 
  Palpatine’s declaration of a Galactic Empire, and were taken into custody on Virujansi’s moon Captivity.  They were later rescued by 
  the Rebel Alliance.
  Senator Iridik'k-stallu: She belonged to a race known for having multiple hearts, though the planet she represented is 
  unknown.  She was respected by Senators Organa and Mothma, and was a member of the Delegation of 2000.
  Senator Neb Creip: This dark-skinned man represented an unknown planet during the Clone Wars.
  Senator Seti Ashgad: This outspoken Senator had dreams of one day being Chancellor, and opposed many of Palpatine’s poli-
  cies.  When he spoke out against cam droids in the Senate, he mysteriously vanished, in reality taken by Palpatine and exiled to 
  Nam Chorios.  He would later find a secret to longevity and plauge Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker, who eventually killed him.
  Senator Viento: Senator Viento was a known Separatist collaborator, and helped arrange for the assassination of Former-
  Chancellor Valorum.  He was found out and placed under guard of the Jedi while he was being interviewed for evidence and 
  dangled as bait for Count Dooku, who sent Quinlan Vos to assassinate him.  He was killed by Vos despite the protection of Master 
  K’kruhk, and buried beneath the Senate Hall in the Senatorial tombs.

  THE REPUBLIC
  as Padmè’s mentor, and showed her the ropes of the Galac-
  tic Senate. The two spent much of their time working on the 
  Refugee Relief Movement together, and an assortment of other 
  peaceful initiatives. 
  A few short months after being reunited with her friend, 
  Senator Shessaun was called back to the Thesme Sector, offi-
  cially to settle local border disputes. The reality of the situation 
  was far worse. Some factions on one side of the border dispute 
  were seeking military aid from the Separatists. If given, the 
  Separatists would take the undefended sector quickly. Being 
  located in the Outer Rim at the junction of many key hyperspace 
  routes, including the Hydian Way, Thesme's secessionist status 
  would cut off the Republic from trade with the Corporate Sec-
  tor Authority, a major supplier of raw materials to the galaxy. 
  Desperate to avoid such an outcome, Silya Shessaun tirelessly 
  politicked for remaining a part of the Republic, and after more 
  than a year and a half, was able to settle the border disputes and 
  keep her entire sector within the Republic. Of course, by then 
  the Clone Wars had begun. 
  Senator Shessaun returned to Coruscant before the end 
  of the first year of the Clone Wars, and latched on to Senator 
  Amidala to catch her up on current events and alliances. Silya 
  was brought in to the Loyalist faction, and was introduced to 
  Senator Bail Organa, who also became a close friend. Senator 
  Shessaun remained focused on refugee programs and other war 
  relief efforts, and it was no surprise when, toward the end of 
  the Clone Wars, she was invited to sign the Petition of the Two 
  Thousand. However, despite how much she might agree with 
  Padmè and Bail, Silya could not bring herself to sign the peti-
  tion, as she felt undermining the Chancellor during this critical 
  point in the war was tantamount to treason. 
  Very shortly after her refusal, Palpatine declared himself 
  Emperor, and Padmè Amidala died before Silya could get a 
  chance to tell her friend she was wrong not to sign the petition. 
  Silya pushed for a detailed investigation into Padmè’s death, but 
  the Emperor blocked it handily. Senator Shessaun's days in office 
  were numbered, and it wasn't long before she was replaced by a 
  senator with a more pro-Imperial galactic view. She went quietly 
  and retired to Alderaan, where she quietly helped Senator Bail 
  Organa flame seeds of rebellion and collect intelligence against 
  the Empire. She even helped raise young Leia Organa, who 
  reminded her so much of the twelve year old girl from Naboo 
  she met on Alderaan almost thirty years past. 
  Silya Shessaun returned to Thesme thirteen years after the 
  end of the Clone Wars, where she was barely remembered by 
  the public, but embraced by the family she had lost to politi-
  cal service. She grew close to her family members who had 
  almost been strangers to her over the next seven years, and was 
  shocked when Alderaan was destroyed, and her good friend Bail 
  Organa was killed. Silya died of unknown causes shortly after 
  the destruction of the second Death Star.

  Terr Taneel – Republic Senator of the Senex 
  Sector
  Terr Taneel was born of the noble House Taneel, ruling house 
  of Neelanon in the Senex Sector. The Senex Sector had a long 
  history of slavery, and thus was previously not granted Republic 
  membership or trading rights. However, in a deal negotiated by 
  Palpatine's office and Lord Crueya Vandron, the Senex-Juvex 
  Sectors were brought into the Republic fold after cracking down 
  on Nebula Front strongholds in the Senex-Juvex Sectors. Terr 
  Taneel was appointed as the Senex Sector's Senator, and Lord 
  Crueya Vandron took up a position as Palpatine's aide during his 
  days as chancellor. 
  Terr Taneel was close friends with Senator Chi Eekway, from 
  Wroona. She felt the naive young Senator was far too trusting 
  to be effective as a senator in the corruption rife throughout the 
  Senate. Nonetheless, a month before the end of the Clone Wars, 
  both were invited to meetings with Bail Organa, Mon Mothma,

  Padmè Amidala and others to discuss the erosion of liberty 
  facing the Republic as the Chancellor's office gained more and 
  more emergency powers. 
  Terr Taneel was present a month later to welcome the 
  Chancellor back to Coruscant after his daring rescue by Anakin 
  Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. She was again present with her 
  friend Chi Eekway, and the two were relieved to see the Chan-
  cellor had survived his ordeal no worse for the wear. Meanwhile, 
  the secret meetings continued at either Bail Organa or Padmè 
  Amidala's apartments, where various options were discussed 
  ranging from simple petitions to open rebellion. The least violent 
  of options was decided on first, and Terr Taneel signed the Peti-
  tion of the Two-Thousand. 
  Taneel began to fear her young colleague would accidentally 
  reveal the existence of the secret group and the petition before 
  it was served to Palpatine, and thus made certain to spend as 
  many waking moments as possible with Chi Eekway, making 
  certain the Twi'Lek Senator didn’t say anything accidentally. 
  Senator Taneel went so far as to accompany Eekway to the 
  opera house where she was to meet with Baron Papanoida, an 
  infochant. Terr did her best to listen in to their conversation, 
  but was constantly interrupted by marriage overtures by Son 
  Halliikeenovich, a lowly noble from House Halliikeenovich in the 
  Juvex Sector. Marriage proposals to increase a house's prestige 
  were common in the Senex-Juvex Sectors, and Terr Taneel did 
  her best to politely rebuff him.

  Tundra Dowmeia – Republic Senator of Mon 
  Calamari
  Tundra Dowmeia was a Quarren politician from Mon Cala-
  mari that came from a wealthy family in possession of a vast 
  estate. He had great ambition, but as the Separatists began to 
  grow their movement throughout the galaxy, he turned down a 
  chance to join the Quarren Isolation League, trusting in democ-
  racy and the Republic. A little over two months before the Battle 
  of Genosis, Senator Tikkes was implicated in a slavery ring, and 
  Tundra Dowmeia found himself thrust into the position of act-
  ing Senator. Much of the Q.I.L. left Mon Calamari as Tikkes fled 
  Coruscant, and rendezvoused with the Confederacy. Senator 
  Dowmeia pledged that the Mon Calamari government would do 
  everything in its power to assist in his recapture. 
  Senator Dowmeia was a devout loyalist, but also an ideal-
  ist. He believed in helping those who were most in need. So it 
  was no shock to the media when, a month into office, Sena-
  tor Dowmeia spat criticism toward Commenor's First Minester 
  when the man was upset Commenor was being denied regular 
  shipments of exotic vegetables and breads to his planet. Tundra 
  Dowmeia quickly poked at the politician's priorities, pointing out 
  that the Arkanis Sector regularly went without food shipments 
  for months, and that all would make sacrifices as a result of the 
  Separatist crisis. 
  Two weeks later Senator Dowmeia was present with his mys-
  terious aide, Cellheim Anujo, to watch Chancellor Palpatine get 
  voted emergency powers, heralding the beginning of the Clone 
  Wars. Hostilities broke out on Mon Calamari almost immediately 
  between a new influx of Quarren isolationists and the Mon Cal 
  Knights. Jedi Master Kit Fisto and a full battlegroup was sent 
  to the planet five months into the war at Senator Dowmeia's 
  urging, citing that Mon Calamari was one of the few worlds 
  with robust shipyards not working for the Confederacy, an asset 
  worth protecting. Kit Fisto's mission was a success, driving the 
  isolationists to switch to guerilla tactics. Master Fisto managed 
  to put a stop to that as well when he discovered the Moappa 
  at the top of their chain of command. A tense cease-fire was 
  formed between the two groups and negotiations were opened. 
  The negotiations moved very slowly, and Tundra Dowmeia 
  divided his time between Mon Calamari and Coruscant. A year 
  and three months after the cease-fire, a slicer team managed 
  to steal vast amounts of shipbuilding data from Mon Calamari 
  Shipyards in a slicer raid. Senator Dowmeia assisted Republic 
  Authorities in tracking down the slicers and checking on security 
  measures in place to protect such data. The timing of the raid 
  served to implicate it might have something to do with the 
  Senator's visit, an accusation that threatened to break down 
  peace talks, which were on the verge of a major breakthrough.

  THE REPUBLIC
  Master Kit Fisto was sent back to Mon Calamari for a week, 
  where the Jedi Nautolan oversaw the drawing up and signing of 
  a formal treaty. Diplomacy won out, and a new Mon Calamari 
  Council was formed, which struck more of an equal balance in 
  governance between the Mon Calamari and the Quarren. From 
  then on, the Galactic Senate would host two senators from the 
  Quarren home world; Tundra Dowmeia and Meena Tills, a Mon 
  Calamari. Senator Dowmeia signed the peace accord in his own 
  ink, but still drew criticism from a small sect of Quarren, who 
  feared he would eventually sell out the people of Mon Calamari. 
  Tundra Dowmeia found he got along quite well with Meena 
  Tills, who was a fellow political idealist. Days before the end of 
  the Clone Wars, they both signed the Petition of Two-Thousand, 
  hoping to get the Chancellor to lay down some of his emer-
  gency powers and restore democracy. The petition was largely 
  sidestepped by the Chancellor, who days later declared himself 
  Emperor and outlawed the Jedi Order. Tundra Dowmeia was 
  promptly arrested on the grounds of treason. While his fate 
  is unknown after his capture, Mon Calamari would eventually 
  become enslaved by the Galactic Empire.

  Crueya Vandron – Lord to House Vandron
  In the years prior to the Clone Wars, Crueya Vandron was 
  Lord of one of the most ancient and powerful houses in the 
  Senex Sector, half of the noble-ruled Senex-Juvex region in the 
  Mid Rim, nestled between the Corellian Trade Spine and the 
  Rimma Trade Route. A little over a decade before the Battle of 
  Genosis, Lord Vandron married Theala Vandron, who became 
  Lady of the House Vandron. Lady Vandron was nearly as active 
  in galactic-scale politics as her husband, and was the Senex 
  Sector representative to the Eriadu Peace Summit talks. At this 
  time, the Senex-Juvex Sectors were actively seeking member-
  ship and trade within the Republic, but were routinely rebuffed, 
  due to the fact that the Nebula Front, a terrorist organization 
  that had recently attempted to assassinate Chancellor Valorum, 
  had taken up residence in the sector with little action from 
  the ruling houses, for fear of reprisal, as well as sentient rights 
  violations. 
  Lord Vandron communicated with Senator Palpatine of 
  Naboo and the nearby Chommel Sector, explaining his dilemma. 
  Fortunately, the canny senator was able to provide a solution, 
  based on the Republic's fear for Valorum's safety during the 
  Eriadu Peace Summit, and a need for legislation regarding the 
  taxation of outlying trade routes be pushed through. House 
  Vandron aided a Joint Task Force comprised of Republic Judicials 
  and Jedi Knights to wipe out the Asmeru, as well as agreed to 
  assist with silence, rather than arrest with protest, the passing 
  of the key legislation in exchange for a much more favorable 
  stance toward Senex Sector membership status in the Republic.
  Shortly after the events that led to the ascendancy of 
  Palpatine to lead the Republic, Crueya Vandron was appointed 
  as an Advisor to the Office of the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. 
  One year and four months into the Clone Wars, Crueya Vandron 
  was able to push his high-human culture view on Palpatine, and 
  established the Commission for the Protection of the Republic 
  (COMPOR). This organization was dedicated to guarding the 
  Republic, and was used by Palpatine mostly for domestic intel-
  ligence collection, propaganda, and military recruitment. 
  Perhaps the most successful branch of COMPOR was 
  SAGroup, or Sub-Adult Group. This branch took promising young 
  children in their teens and brainwashed them to be blind follow-
  ers of the Republic and its Chancellor. SAGroup consisted almost 
  entirely of pure humans, with less than 5% merely near-humans. 
  The children enrolled in SAGroup were considered to get a very 
  high-level education, and enrolling a child in SAGroup typically 
  increased your political pull in the Galactic Republic. Thus, many 
  members were heirs to noble titles throughout the galaxy, or 
  the children of various senators and other political functionar-
  ies. SAGroup also nurtured a disdain for non-humans, though 
  this prejudice was kept tightly under wraps from the media by 
  Vandron himself.

  THE REPUBLIC
  
  Mere weeks after the end of the Clone Wars and the declara-
  tion of a Galactic Empire, with Palpatine as Emperor, Vandron 
  reformed COMPOR into COMPNOR, the Commission for the 
  Preservation of the New Order. Vandron personally oversaw the 
  ceremony that cemented Imperial Culture in the galaxy for the 
  next two decades. COMPNOR took over domestic spying, full 
  control of the media through both propaganda and extreme 
  censorship, and the lowering of many sentient species to slave 
  race status.
  Vandron would continue to grow COMPNOR, taking many 
  of the best and brightest of humans in the galaxy and indoctri-
  nating them in the ways of being a loyal Imperial Agent. Lord 
  Vandron enjoyed great success with COMPNOR, which was 
  largely responsible for many people forgetting the Old Repub-
  lic altogether, and believing in the unyielding strength of the 
  Galactic Empire. He maintained Emperor Palpatine's ear until his 
  death of unknown circumstances, nearly thirty-one years after 
  the end of the Clone Wars.

  Doolb Snoil – Republic Barrister
  Doolb Snoil was a Vippit born on Nal Hutta. He like so many 
  other Vippits came from a long line of lawyers and negotia-
  tors. His family in particular was noted as one of the most 
  skilled legal-minded families on all of Nal Hutta: his grandfather 
  negotiated a variety of tax benefits for the Vippit under Republic 
  law. When he was young, Snoil was studied at a prestigious 
  law school on Mrlsst and later earned an apprenticeship with a 
  prominent law firm in the Gevarno cluster. Soon afterwards he 
  was appointed as a barrister by the Coruscant College of Law.
  Ten years before the Clone Wars gripped the galaxy, Snoil 
  was sent on a mission to Rijel-12 to negotiate terms and quell 
  a potential rebel uprising. For all his legal and negotiate skill he 
  was unable to halt the chaos that ensued and would have surely 
  perished in the riot had a young Jedi named Obi-Wan Kenobi 
  not stepped in and rescued him. The two maintained a close 
  relationship for years, all the while Snoil vowed to repay Kenobi 
  for his actions. According to Vippit traditions, those who save 
  the life of a Vippit enter into an agreement that the Vippit that 
  was saved must repay their rescuer before taking on a mate.
  In the twelfth month of the Clone Wars, Kenobi and Snoil 
  were reunited for a mission on the planet of Ord Cestus. The 
  inhabitants of the planet, the insect-like X’Ting, had been 
  contracted to create a new type of droid capable of countering a 
  Jedi in combat. These new droids were dubbed the Jedi Killers or 
  JK-series droids. He and Obi-Wan arrived at the capital ChikatLik 
  to begin their discussions with the ruling Five Families and the 
  regent. The talks did not go as well, the ruling council refused 
  to stop production of their new droids. Secretly Jedi Master Kit 
  Fisto and a group of clone troopers had been laying in wait in 
  the outlying desert to perform a contingency mission if diplo-
  macy fell through. Fisto disguised himself as a mercenary under 
  the employ of the Confederacy named Nemonus and staged a 
  kidnapping of the Five Families. Obi-Wan played his part and 
  stepped in to rescue the council from him which ultimately 
  persuaded the Five Families to agree to the Republic’s terms.
  As Snoil was overseeing the completion of the appropriate 
  documentation for the agreement, the head of mining produc-
  tions named Quill stepped in and provided evidence that the 
  fight between Nemonus and Kenobi was a ruse. The Republic 
  representatives were discredited and were ordered to leave the 
  planet immediately. As the group headed into orbit Obi-Wan 
  ordered the pilot to return Snoil to Coruscant while he returned 
  to the planet in an escape pod, hidden from sensor detection by 
  atmospheric phenomenon. Almost as soon as Kenobi launched 
  from the craft, the transport carrying Snoil was struck by an 
  orbital attack and destroyed. 
  Snoil was believed dead. Obi-Wan continued his mission and 
  uncovered that Asajj Ventress was present on the planet and

  they were ambushed by a group of JK-series droids. Obi-Wan 
  managed to escape but was being targeted by an enemy infiltra-
  tion droid. Before the would-be assassin could get a shot off, 
  it was blasted to pieces by Snoil who had survived the crash. 
  Kenobi and Snoil shared a brief reunion that was cut short 
  by loose rock that fell from the ceiling of the cave from the 
  fighting and crushed Snoil. Doolb Snoil died moments later in 
  Obi-Wan’s arms.

  Griff Takel – Governor of Gargon
  Griff Takel came from the planet Gargon in the Mandalore 
  Sector along with his brother, Miltin. The two joined the military 
  and while Miltin excelled at naval combat and tactics, Griff was 
  just as adept, but not nearly as eager as his brother for warfare. 
  After over a year of military service, Takel was removed from 
  the front lines and sought a career in politics for unknown 
  reasons. A year and four months into the Clone Wars, Griff was 
  appointed as Governor of Esseles in the Darpa Sector of the Core 
  when a local uprising ousted the planet's separatist presence. 
  Governor Takel was a fairly easy-going man, and perhaps 
  because he was appointed by the Republic during the Clone 
  Wars, he was very different from the Imperial Moffs and 
  Governors that were installed on other planets. Governor Takel 
  largely allowed Esseles to govern itself through its president and 
  congressional body known as the Hall, rarely, if ever, ruling over 
  the planet with the iron fist his fellow governors were known 
  for. His chief concern was the timely export of industry, which 
  helped fuel the Grand Army of the Republic, and later the Impe-
  rial War Machine. When the Clone Wars ended, there was very 
  little change to Governor Takel's position. He now answered to 
  Moff Graffe, and his troops were renamed Imperial Stormtroop-
  ers. Meanwhile, his brother, Militin Takel, rose to the rank of 
  Grand Admiral, one of only twelve in the Imperial Navy. 
  Almost twenty years to the day, Governor Takel was informed 
  that Gabrial Atanna, former Senator of Esseles prior to Griff 
  Takel's governorship, had proven ties to the Rebel Alliance. Moff 
  Graffe ordered Takel to hold his family prisoner, which he did, 
  though rebel operatives were able to free the family. Governor 
  Takel begrudgingly set up a detailed customs inspection for 
  every ship leaving Esseles, frustrated that the wheels of industry 
  should be disrupted for an insignificant rebel extraction. In spite 
  of his security measures, or perhaps because of Takel's lack of 
  passion for their capture, the rebels escaped with the former 
  senator's family. 
  Governor Takel was well liked by the local populace, and the 
  New Order Party had a substantial following. However, President 
  Galle, a hero of the Clone Wars, was still extremely popular with 
  the locals and held the majority of the Hall. Most from Esseles 
  felt that their loyalty was to their own planet first, and then the 
  Galactic Empire. Interested in changing that, Moff Graffe set up 
  several straw-man operations on Esseles, where Imperial troops 
  carried out acts of sabotage in the name of the Rebel Alliance to 
  promote good faith in the Empire. Governor Takel was ignorant 
  of such operations, and captured as many Imperial saboteurs as 
  he did rebel ones. He became little more than a pawn of Moff 
  Graffe, investigating incidents that were ultimately Graffe's 
  doing, but were framed up to remove key anti-imperial leaders 
  on Esseles. 
  A year and a half after the destruction of the Death Star, 
  Graffe's planning and Takel's ignorance resulted in Esseles voting 
  the New Order Party into majority control of the Hall, and leader 
  Jamson Freller into the presidency. Takel's remaining career as 
  Governor went smoothly despite an alien worker strike, which 
  was resolved within a week, and the death of Emperor Palpatine. 
  When Palpatine was killed, the New Republic sent a fleet to

  Jerrod Maclain – Governor of Brentaal
  A greedy bureaucrat, Jerrod Maclain, after spending long 
  months working with the Loyalist faction of the Senate, man-
  aged to get himself installed as regional governor of Brentaal 
  in the Bormea Sector sixteen months into the Clone Wars. 
  The world was forcefully taken back from the Separatists five 
  months into the Clone Wars after Jedi Master Shaak Ti defeated 
  Separatist Commander Shogar Tok. The Ruling House in the city 
  of Cormond was quickly rebuilt by the Republic eleven months 
  later, and Governor Maclain took up residence. 
  Guilds and shipping houses control most of the commerce 
  on Brentaal, and all were eager to make the best of the situa-
  tion and secure Republic contracts. The greedy Maclain quickly 
  adapted to this new lifestyle, and spent the next twenty years 
  accepting stock tips and bribes. When not amassing or catalogu-
  ing his vast fortune, Maclain was busy protecting himself from 
  his own subordinates and rivals. Because of the easy fortunes 
  associated with his position, there was a horde of individuals 
  obsessed with usurping his governorship, particularly the mem-
  bers of Imperial Customs, who he frequently butted heads with. 
  The insider trading and bribes were so tempting, that many 
  of his subordinates routinely reported Maclain's corruption to 
  Imperial Authorities. Maclain was able to silence most of these 
  reports before they ever reached Coruscant, but eventually some 
  slipped through. Twenty-two years after the Clone Wars ended, 
  then Grand Moff Rufaan Tigellinus was sent to investigate 
  exactly what liberties were being taken by the governor. While it 
  was found that Governor Maclain frequently used smugglers to 
  transport personal items, no major breaches of law were found 
  to be worth the Empire's time. The Galactic-Civil war was in full 
  swing, and domestic liberties were not a chief concern. 
  Two years later, shortly after the death of the Emperor and 
  the Ssi-Ruuvi entanglement on Bakura, the war made its way 
  back to Brentaal IV. By this time, Governor Maclain was spending 
  so much time watching his back, he was largely ineffective as 
  a governor. General Isoto was sent by acting-Emperor Pestage 
  to guard the critical trade-planet from New Republic liberation. 
  General Isoto had complete authority, and Governor Maclain 
  was reduced to mere spectator as Rogue Squadron led their 
  attack. It is unknown if Jerrod Maclain was able to flee with his 
  fortune or if he was imprisoned by the New Republic.

  Kaysil Verwood – Refugee Relief Movement 
  Spokesbeing
  Kaysil Verwood was one of the more compassionate beings 
  in the known galaxy. A Zabrak, she saw past species boundaries 
  and married a human early in her career. The couple traveled the

  THE REPUBLIC
  galaxy, often with Kaysil's sister Elibet Dav performing char-
  ity work. Kaysil's husband was independently wealthy, and so 
  without much need to work to support herself, Verwood joined 
  the fledgling Refugee Relief Movement which formed nearly a 
  year before the Battle of Geonosis. A sizable investment in the 
  charity, along with a serendipitous sound byte on camera landed 
  her the coveted position of Refugee Relief Movement Chief 
  Spokesbeing. 
  The RRM's first crisis came when the planet Berchest 
  was rocked by ground quakes two months before the Clone 
  Wars. Spokesbeing Verwood worked tirelessly to make certain 
  adequate transports were made available to shuttle refugees, 
  that there were nearby planets willing to accept the refugees 
  and that efforts were made to reunite families, as well as 
  provide basic necessities. Spokesbeing Verwood made certain 
  the disaster and the RRM got coverage on the holonets, which 
  resulted in a major public relations coup for the movement. 
  Days later, the Refugee Resettlement Coalition was formed. The 
  RRM needed a branch with heavier transportation capabilities, 
  and the reorganization helped the movement considerably by 
  separating the transportation and relief branches. 
  Two weeks later, a deal was signed with Alderaan to trans-
  form one-hundred hectacres into new homes for refugees 
  from the Separatist crisis. Alderaan Royal Family member Celly 
  Organa, a sister to Senator Bail Organa, took up the mantle of 
  Chair of the Alderaan RRM, hoping to organize the land into 
  homes for thousands of refugees, primarily Aqualish fleeting 
  the open conflict on Ando, only a quick jump down the Corellian 
  Run Trade Route. Former Chancellor Valorum himself was on 
  hand to break ground on the first home, a testament to Spokes-
  being Verwood's ability to promote the movement. 
  A month before the outbreak of the Clone Wars, Coruscant 
  was beginning to feel the claustrophobia of overcrowding as 
  refugees sought safe haven on the galactic capital. Coruscant 
  Ministers of Ingress Effhod and Praji both made statements 
  about new restrictions and licenses required to immigrate 
  to Coruscant, knowing the restrictions would greatly reduce 
  overall immigration of refugees. The RRM abhorred the action 
  being taken on Coruscant, and for the rest of the war, Kaysil 
  would frequently make inflammatory remarks aimed at the two 
  Ministers. However, desperate to make the best of the situation, 
  Kaysil Verwood made frequent statements on the holonet and 
  in public addresses notifying refugees or potential refugees that 
  there are other worlds allied with the Refugee Resettlement 
  Coalition, including Alderaan in the Core, others in the Inner Rim 
  and twenty-five worlds in the Mid Rim, more than happy to take 
  on refugees.
  Unfortunately, the twenty-five Mid Rim worlds were reduced 
  to only ten within a week. The reality of taking on weary 
  refugees struck many worlds much harder than they imagined. 
  However, under populated Mid Rim worlds of Naboo, Monastary, 
  Kalarba, Cerea, Sneeve, Bimmisaari, Durkteel, Ord Tessebok, 
  Garos IV, and Ord Varee all remained more than willing to pro-
  vide sanctuary for all who needed it, though some worlds had 
  odd requirements for their immigrating beings. Cerea allowed no 
  higher technology or large machinery, while Monastary forced 
  all immigrants to convert to the Order of the Circle. 
  Despite the loss of fifteen planets from its RRC program, the 
  RRM was growing larger, and threatened to bankrupt itself by 
  spreading too thin across the war-torn galaxy. Kaysil Verwood's 
  solution was to host a fundraiser gala for the political elite 
  on Alsakan three weeks before the Clone Wars began. The 
  event was attended by nearly every important politician in the 
  Republic, including Chancellor Palpatine, Sly Moore, Kinman 
  Doriana, Jar Jar Binks, Wat Tambor, Passel Argente, Nute Gunray, 
  Padmè Amidala, Former Chancellor Valorum, Lexi Dio, Ask Aak, 
  Tendau Bendon, Ronet Coorr, and gossip queen Dyslogia Twang. 
  The event raised over seventy-five million credits for the RRM, 
  and was the first of many similar events held throughout the 
  Clone Wars. While Kaysil Verwood had initially planned to have 
  select refugees attend free of charge, the idea was shot down 
  by security. Brookish Boon, who was not in attendance, made 
  several crude comments about the hypocrisy of the event, but 
  Kaysil was able to rebuff him in front of the media at the gala 
  fundraiser. 
  Kaysil Verwood continued to work tirelessly over the next 
  year, helping millions of refugees find sanctuary within the 
  Republic as they fled their secessionist planets. The ravaged 
  planet of Atraken had been a battleground since days after the 
  Battle of Genosis, and when the fighting finally ended, it ended 
  in disaster. An estimated ninety percent of the million inhabit-
  ants were thought dead or displaced on the inhabitable moon 
  of Trilos. Spokesbeing Verwood was eager to get transports 
  there to help the survivors, but the space surrounding the moon 
  had been mined, and weeks were needed to clear the mine-
  field. Verwood confirmed the planet Atraken uninhabitable, as 
  the Separatists used chemical weapons in a last stand against 
  Republic forces. The deadly chemicals tainted the water-ways 
  and soil of Atraken permanently. 
  When the Clone Wars ended and Palpatine declared himself 
  Emperor, Verwood realized she would soon be a target of impe-
  rial arrest or worse. She quickly fled with her husband and sister 
  to join the Rebel Alliance, where she formed an covert transpor-
  tation network for refugees from the empire, resulting in many 
  joining the Alliance as thanks for asylum. After the death of 
  Emperor Palpatine over Endor, the Zabrak people united thrust 
  Verwood into the position of Zabrak Representative. Repre-
  sentative Verwood was present at the first Galactic Caucus of 
  the New Republic, later serving as Senator, representing all the 
  Zabrak worlds, including Iridonia.

  Orman Tagge – Baron to the House of Tagge
  Orman Tagge was the oldest son of Baroness Sanya Tagge, 
  head of the House of Tagge, and therefore, TaggeCo. Orman 
  was groomed from his youth to be the eventual successor to 
  his mother as Baron, and as such, was sent to only the finest 
  
  THE REPUBLIC
  
  schools and social institutions. He had a large family, including 
  brothers Silas, Cassio and Ulric, and sister Domina, of whom he 
  was very protective. Not long before the Clone Wars erupted, 
  Orman proved himself to be a prodigy in the field of engineer-
  ing, making technological breakthroughs at every turn, specifi-
  cally in the droid industry with his L8-L9, which was manufac-
  tured in a very small prototype run. 
  When the Clone Wars finally did sweep across the galaxy, 
  Baroness Tagge pulled TaggeCo from the Techno Union and 
  instead remaining neutral, threw her full support behind the 
  Republic. Early in the Clone Wars, Orman Tagge sought to 
  test his L8-L9 Battle Droid in the gladiatorial pits on Rattatak. 
  Unfortunately, Asajj Ventress destroyed the single unit Orman 
  deployed with ease by using the force to bash it into rocks, 
  crushing the delicate head. The project was tabled for a short 
  period of time, though Orman used the small run as his personal 
  bodyguard entourage. 
  During the twentieth month of the Clone Wars, Sanya Tagge 
  died and at the young age of seventeen, Orman Tagge was 
  named Baron of the House of Tagge. He immediately pledged 
  to fulfill his mother's wishes and use TaggeCo's vast resources 
  to bring an end to the Clone Wars. A month later, he was 
  approached by Senate Bureau of Intelligence Director Armand 
  Isard, who offered him a position as Chair of the Technical 
  Steering Committee within the Analysis Bureau of Republic 
  Intelligence. Baron Tagge happily accepted his new role, and 
  worked hard to counter emerging Separatist technology for the 
  remainder of the Clone Wars. 
  While Orman put a great deal of time into assisting the 
  Republic, as new Baron of the House of Tagge, he had much 
  house business to attend to as well. He was now in command 
  of a vast conglomerate of businesses, including Bonadon Heavy 
  Industries, Tagge Mining Company, GalResource Industries, 
  Mobquet Swoops and Speeders, Gowix Computers, Trast Heavy 
  Transports, Tagge Restaurant Association, the Biscuit Baron 
  chain of fast-food restaurants, Tagge Industries Shipyards Lim-
  ited, TaggeCo itself, Neuro-Savv Corporation, Tagge Industries, 
  Tagge Shipping and the Team Tagge Swoop Racing League. 
  TaggeCo also controlled a handful of planets, and a navy of 
  five-thousand armed scout ships and a million security troops. 
  Management of the corporations took up much of Orman's time, 
  but he still managed to find time to relax from all the bureau-
  cratic nonsense with new technical puzzles sent by Director 
  Isard, or new modifications to his L8-L9 Battle Droids. 
  When the Clone Wars finally ended, Baron Tagge had finally 
  managed to get his various subsidiaries to become much more 
  self-sufficient, allowing him to focus on increasing the power 
  and prestige of his company in the newly formed Galactic 
  Empire. Baron Tagge sought to make himself Emperor Palpa-
  tine's right hand man, vying to beat out both Darth Vader and 
  Prince Xizor. Of course, Baron Tagge had no real chance in the 
  Emperor's eyes against Darth Vader, who eventually used his 
  lightsaber to slash the young man across the eyes, blinding him. 
  Tagge was fitted with a pair of cybernetic goggles that allowed 
  him to see again, and swore vengeance on Lord Vader. Not 
  wanting his sister Domina to see him incapacitated, he sent her 
  off to the Order of the Sacred Circle on the planet Monastary to 
  become a priestess. 
  Tagge did his best to counter his vanity by having a cutely 
  animated version of his face used as the main character on the 
  signs outside Biscuit Barons, but inwardly he seethed each time 
  he saw a commercial with his goggled visage showcased in it. It 
  kept his anger toward Darth Vader red hot. Soon after the inci-
  dent, Orman Tagge met with several other tech-based business 
  beings that were re-negotiating the Corporate Sector Authority 
  with the Galactic Empire on Aargu in the Dragonbird Gardens. 
  Orman signed several of his companies on to the project, and 
  his ties to the Empire helped reaffirm the CSA's autonomy while 
  securing several exclusive deals with the Galactic Empire for 
  supply of raw materials. 
  Over the course of the twenty years leading up to the Battle 
  of Yavin, two of his younger brothers joined Imperial Service. 
  While Ulric Tagge had not yet amounted to much, Cassio Tagge 
  had become a respected general, and was stationed onboard 
  the first Death Star, which later became his grave. Silas Tagge 
  remained with the company as a scientist, working on several 
  projects for Orman. Domina remained at Orman's side, acting 
  as his confidante. As a result of his two brothers in the Imperial 
  Military, as well as his own still loyal contacts in the Imperial 
  government, TaggeCo was often given exclusive rights to alien 
  technologies from populations subjugated by the Empire, such 
  as blaster cartridge technology unique to Tiss'Sharl. 
  Shortly after the destruction of the first Death Star, and the 
  loss of his brother, Baron Tagge focused on helping the Emperor 
  end the existence of the Rebels with his Actchnak Turbine 
  Station, a starfighter base designed to be stationed in the tropo-
  sphere of a gas giant, such as Yavin. Tagge built the starfighter 
  base there secretly immediately after the destruction of the 
  Death Star reached his ears, and gave it to his brother Ulric to 
  use to secretly fly harassment missions against the Alliance base 
  to prevent a full scale retreat to another world. Meanwhile, the 
  entire area was blockaded by Ulric Tagge's Imperial Naval Forces 
  to keep the rebels cornered until full Imperial Reinforcements 
  could be sent in to mop up the Rebels. 
  Unfortunately, Baron Tagge's station was compromised 
  by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa before being destroyed by 
  Skywalker, reducing Tagge in the eyes of the Emperor. Luckily, 
  Baron Tagge was able to follow Skywalker's Force-guided path 
  out of the foggy troposphere, and learn the name of his humilia-
  tor before escaping to Ulric's blockade. This enraged him, forcing

  him to swear an oath against Skywalker similar to the one sworn 
  against Darth Vader. 
  Luke and Leia would continue to frustrate Orman Tagge's 
  efforts to eclipse Lord Vader's influence with the Emperor. Leia 
  foiled his supposedly perfect security system on Metalorn, and 
  beat the lightsaber-carrying Baron in personal combat. Not long 
  afterward, Luke Skywalker prematurely ended his first attempt 
  at a super-weapon, the Omega Frost, designed by Orman's 
  brother Silas. Luke discovered the project being tested on 
  Tatooine, but was later captured by Baron Tagge's forces. Orman 
  sought to test his lightsaber skill against a talented opponent, 
  but Luke ended the fight quickly by slicing Baron Tagge's cyber-
  goggles in half, rendering him blind. Tagge went into shock, 
  while Luke escaped and exploited a flaw in the design of Omega 
  Frost, disabling it before it could be used in a trap against the 
  Alliance fleet. 
  The Rebel fleet took advantage of the situation and 
  destroyed the House of Tagge ship, believing they had destroyed 
  both Orman and Silas Tagge. In truth, they both survived in a 
  reinforced compartment, later rescued by other Imperials and 
  kept in stasis, while the mantle of Baron Tagge fell to Ulric, the 
  youngest of the four Tagge brothers, who still believed his two 
  remaining older brothers dead. While Orman lay unconscious, 
  Darth Vader schemed with Ulric and Domina Tagge to draw out 
  Luke Skywalker and take his true measure. Luke was lured to the 
  planet Monastary, where Domina had risen to a high position on 
  their Order of the Sacred Circle. 
  During Luke's entrapment, Orman Tagge managed to escape 
  his Imperial medical prison onboard Vader's flagship and board 
  the Millennium Falcon. Orman ordered Han Solo, Chewbacca 
  and Leia Organa to fly the Falcon down to Monastary, where 
  he could remove his sister Domina from Imperial machinations 
  and exact revenge on his two enemies, Darth Vader and Luke 
  Skywalker. He ran headlong into a perilous crystal valley, and a 
  moment before being crushed beneath a toppling crystal spire, 
  Vader rescued him with the Force. In too high a state of shock 
  to attack, Darth Vader explained how he had corrupted Domina, 
  pushing Orman into anguish. Vader then used the Jedi Mind Trick 
  to force Orman to engage Luke Skywalker in lightsaber combat. 
  Orman faced Luke Skywalker, but due to Darth Vader's force 
  illusions, Luke believed he was facing Darth Vader himself. 
  Orman dueled his best, but was fearful of Skywalker's superior 
  lightsaber skills. In the end, his fears proved correct, as Luke 
  was forced to kill him with a fatal lightsaber thrust. Ulric retired 
  from military service but continued on as Baron Tagge for the 
  next thirty-five years, maintaining the House of Tagge's pros-
  perous growth that began under Orman.

  Wilhuff Tarkin – Governor of Eriadu
  Wilhuff Tarkin was a human male from the planet Eriadu, 
  and would become one of the most powerful men in the galaxy. 
  The Tarkin family was one of the most powerful and influential 
  names in the entire Seswenna sector. Wilhuff began making 
  a name for himself in his early twenties when he joined the 
  military. During his tour he forged alliances with beings such as 
  Raith Seinar and married into the authoritative Motti family of 
  Phelarion. Within a few short years he had risen to the position 
  of Lieutenant Governor of the Seswenna sector and rubbed 
  elbows with many high-ranking beings such as the current 
  Supreme Chancellor Valorum and Senator of Naboo Palpatine.
  Eleven years before the Clone Wars began; Lieutenant Gover-
  nor Tarkin received Supreme Chancellor Valorum into his manor 
  on Eriadu during his stay for a Trade Summit with the Trade Fed-
  eration. During the conference a freak accident occurred as one 
  of the security droids went haywire and gunned down all of the 
  members of the Trade Federation Directorate. Only Nute Gunray 
  survived, who became the Trade Federation’s new Viceroy and 
  gave way to a Neimoidian-monopolized Trade Federation. Inves-
  tigations into the matter took place but Tarkin sabotaged these 
  inquiries at the behest of Senator Palpatine who even then had 
  great and terrible things in store for the Republic.
  Three years later after Senator Palpatine had been appointed 
  as the new Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, he saw to it that 
  Wilhuff Tarkin became Governor of Seswenna and appointed 
  him as Commander of the Republic Outland Regions Security 
  Force. With this new authority, Tarkin promoted his brother 
  Gideon from Brigadier to the Minister of Defense for all of 
  Seswenna. Tarkin also resumed correspondence between his 
  former military comrade Raith Seinar who presented Tarkin with 
  his plans for a battle station the size of a moon. Tarkin then con-
  vinced Seinar to invade and occupy the living planet of Zonoma 
  Sekot, although these attempts ultimately failed when the entire 
  planet escaped into hyperspace traveling into the Unknown 
  Regions. Tarkin was able to save face with his mentor, Chancellor 
  Palpatine, by infiltrating the Jedi Order and eavesdropping on 
  their deliberations by supplying a broken droid equipped with 
  monitoring devices to a young and naïve Jedi Padawan named 
  Anakin Skywalker. Tarkin also supplied Palpatine with Seinar’s 
  battle station plans that would have grievous ramifications on 
  the galaxy in the decades to come.
  As Supreme Chancellor Palpatine transformed the Repub-
  lic into the Galactic Empire, Tarkin continued to gain prestige 
  within the newly formed Imperial military. An Admiral within 
  the Imperial navy, Tarkin was placed in charge of overseeing the 
  construction of the battle station envisioned by Raith Seinar, 
  the Death Star. Tarkin was also responsible for some of the 
  greatest atrocities in the name of the Empire. One such instance 
  at Ghorman saw a group of protestors objecting the Imperial 
  taxation of their planet on a landing platform as Tarkin’s shuttle 
  made its approach. Having no patience or care for the mob and 
  their plight, Tarkin ordered the pilot to land regardless of the 
  protestors. The shuttle crushed hundreds of people, marking the

  Massacre of Ghorman. For his cruelty and ruthlessness, Emperor 
  Palpatine promoted the Admiral to one of the first Moffs of the 
  Empire. 
  By Tarkin’s authority, the planets of Kashyyyk and Mon 
  Calamari were subjugated and enslaved to provide forced labor-
  ers in the construction of the Death Star. Wilhuff even took 
  a Mon Calamari named Ackbar as his personal servant. Moff 
  Tarkin also initiated a secret Imperial facility dedicated to the 
  creation of super weapons deep within an area of space near 
  Kessel known as the Maw. He appointed his lover, Admiral Daala, 
  as the commanding overseer of this facility. With his growing 
  influence within the Empire, Tarkin proposed a doctrine directly 
  to the Emperor which he called Rule by Fear. In it he detailed 
  an upper command structure within the Empire where Grand 
  Moffs would preside over entire regions of space and have a 
  much greater authority to rule their territories how they saw fit. 
  Palpatine admired Tarkin’s ambition and adopted this philosophy, 
  dubbing it the Tarkin Doctrine and appointed the Moff as one of 
  the first Grand Moffs to serve the Empire. 
  By this time nearly a decade after the Clone Wars, rebellion 
  against the Empire had swept across the galaxy and began orga-
  nizing into cohesive military forces. One such instance of rebel 
  insurgence took place over Tarkin’s home planet of Eriadu. Rebel 
  agents attempting to assassinate the Grand Moff were foiled by 
  the prowess of the Imperial Starfleet. However, Tarkin’s servant 
  Ackbar was allowed to escape and ultimately became a hero of 
  the newly formed Rebel Alliance. 
  Tarkin’s ambition continued to grow. With the Death Star 
  nearing completion, Tarkin planned on turning the planet-
  destroying battle station on Coruscant in order to eliminate the 
  Emperor and assume control of the galaxy. The Emperor foresaw 
  this move, and dispatched Colonel Wullf Yularen and emissary 
  Darth Vader to keep the Grand Moff in check. As such, Tarkin 
  began pursuing his alternative avenue of interest: the complete 
  and total destruction of the Rebel Alliance. 
  After the Rebel spy, Leia Organa was captured and brought 
  to the hulking battle station; Tarkin threatened the obliteration 
  of Organas home planet of Alderaan if she did not divulge the 
  location of the Rebel base. Tarkin had no intention of sparing 
  the peaceful planet though. Even though Leia provided him with 
  the name he requested, Tarkin gave the order and transformed 
  Alderaan into a barren asteroid field, killing every living inhabit-
  ant of the world. Tarkin had anticipated the destruction of 
  Alderaan would serve as an example to other would-be Rebel 
  sympathizers. Unfortunately the effect was the exact opposite, 
  as the planet of Alderaan would live on as an effigy to the tyr-
  anny of the Empire and as a symbol of the Rebel cause.
  When Princess Leia escaped execution onboard the Death 
  Star carrying detailed plans to the battle station back to the 
  Rebel high command, Tarkin was hot on her trail. Having discov-
  ered the location of the Rebel base, Tarkin attempted to smite 
  them from the universe once and for all. The Rebels launched a 
  desperate attack based on an analysis of the plans provided by 
  Leia Organa. Tarkin’s ego got the better of him as he scoffed at 
  the idea that a ragtag group of Rebels could possibly threaten 
  his Death Star. Unfortunately for Tarkin and the thousands of 
  Imperials onboard the station, Tarkin was gravely mistaken as a 
  rookie pilot named Luke Skywalker fired a salvo of proton torpe-
  does into an exposed exhaust port. This set of a chain reaction 
  that destroyed the entire station, eradicating everyone onboard 
  including Grand Moff Tarkin.

  Jos Vondar – RMSU- Chief Surgeon
  Jos Vondar was born into a family of physicians and raised in 
  a small farming community on Corellia. His family was devout 
  Ensterite, a cultural system that believed sentient beings should 
  only marry from those born on the same planet and followed 
  the Ensterite teachings. When Jos was twenty years old he left 
  his home planet for Coruscant to pursue a career in medicine. 
  When the Clone Wars erupted, Vondar had dreams of becoming 
  widely known as a top-notch surgeon on the front lines of con-
  flict. Instead two years into the Clone Wars, he was stationed in 
  the RMSU-7 military hospital on Drongar at the rank of Captain 
  and was appointed as the facility’s chief surgeon overseeing the 
  medical corps there.

  THE REPUBLIC
  During his stay at Rimsoo seven Jos became friends with 
  a variety of characters. Vondar became quite close to a clone 
  trooper designated CT-914 as well as the droid I-5YQ. He 
  became best friends with his roommate, a fellow surgeon named 
  Zan Yant. He also became emotionally interested in a nurse 
  stationed at the Rimsoo named Tolk Ie Trene, but because of his 
  strict Enster beliefs he did not pursue that relationship. Tolk, on 
  the other hand, endeavored tirelessly to gain Vondar’s attention. 
  After a Separatist attack on RMSU-7 Zan Yant and CT-914 were 
  killed and Jos had an epiphany. He realized that life was too 
  important to pass up relationships due to ones’ beliefs and initi-
  ated a romantic connection with Tolk Ie Trene and a fellowship 
  with his new roommate, Kornell Divini.
  When RMSU-7 was relocated, Vondar’s uncle, Admiral Erel 
  Kersos, was assigned to replace the former commander Tarnese 
  Bleyd, who died during the Separatist attack. Long ago Kersos 
  had married an offworlder woman and according to the beliefs 
  of his family and friends was exiled. The admiral learned of the 
  relationship between his nephew and Tolk Ie Trene, and had 
  the nurse reassigned to his ship so that he could convince her 
  to end the relationship for Vondar’s sake. Jos missed Ie Trene 
  deeply and during their time apart, Vondar was presented with 
  a difficult predicament. The Zabrak mercenary, Sar Omant, who 
  had killed his friend Zan Yant was brought before him needing 
  medical attention. Vondar wanted nothing more than to see 
  Omant dead, but resisted the temptation to exact revenge on 
  the mercenary. 
  When Tolk returned only to give Jos the cold shoulder he fell 
  into despair. When he could bare it no longer, he confronted 
  Tolk and revealed his feelings for her. He asked Tolk for her hand 
  in marriage and for her to return to Corellia with him when the 
  fighting was over. Tolk whole-heartedly accepted, but the battle 
  at Drongar was slowly boiling over.
  The Jedi Barriss Offee stationed at Rimsoo seven had been 
  investigating the possibility of a traitor residing in the facil-
  ity. Her inquires paid off when an Equani named Klo Merit 
  was revealed as the turncoat, working for both the Separatists 
  and the Black Sun crime syndicate. Vondar’s rage broke the 
  surface and he confronted Merit, blaming him for the deaths 
  of his friends. Merit escaped custody and attempted to flee the 
  complex, but Vondar grabbed a blaster and fired on the Equani. 
  His shots hit their mark and Merit was slain. As the fighting at 
  Drongar came to a close, Vondar was seen as a hero for neutral-
  izing an enemy of the Republic. Jos soon left the facility with 
  his fiancé Tolk Ie Trene and his uncle and returned to his home 
  planet.

  Kornell Divini – RMSU- Surgeon
  Kornell Divini was a human male hailing from Tatooine. 
  Although his mother was the famous mudopterist Elana Divini, 
  the majority of his family was one with a long lineage of physi-
  cians. His father, grandfather and great grandfather ran their 
  own practice on Talus but Uli, as he was nicknamed, wanted 
  to venture out and see the galaxy. He studied medicine at the 
  Coruscant Medical Hospital and held an internship at the Galac-
  tic Polysapient Medical Center on Alderaan by the time he was 
  nineteen years old.
  During the third year of the Clone Wars, Divini enrolled in the 
  Grand Army of the Republic’s medical corps. After a Separatist 
  attack on the RMSU-7 military hospital on Drongar, a desparate 
  need for skilled surgeons arose. Kornell was fasttracked, granted 
  the rank of Lieutenant and shipped off to Drongar to replace 
  a surgeon named Zan Yant who had been killed in the attack. 
  When he arrived he was met with skepticsm due to his lack of 
  completed medical training, but he quickly proved to be a valu-
  able member of the surgical staff.
  Uli was bunked with Chief Surgeon Jos Vondar and soon 
  afterward the two became close friends. He also shared a 
  professional relationship with the Jedi Barriss Offee. The two 
  made several excursions out into the wild of Drongar to col-
  lect indigenous insects for Uli’s mother to add to her already 
  renowned collection for the Coruscant Xenozoology Museum. 
  Additionally, in his spare time Kornell proved to his colleges how 
  talented he was at a hand of Sabaac. The other surgeons would 
  often joke that his skill was compounded by his totally innocent 
  and wholesome appearance.

  Zan Yant – RMSU- Surgeon
  A Zabrak native to Talus in the Corellian system, Zan Yant 
  was born into an extremely weathly family. He received the 
  best medical training the galaxy had to offer. In addition to 
  his medical training, Zan was classically trained in the art of 
  music. Yant once studied the quetarra with a professor who 
  formerly taught at the prestigious Coruscant School of Music. 
  Although his musical talents had become fairly well known 
  among the Zabrak, when the violence of the Clone Wars swept 
  across the galaxy Zan did his part by joining the Grand Army of 
  the Republic’s medical corps and was stationed at the RMSU-7 
  military hospital at Drongar.
  While he served at the Rimsoo he became close friends with 
  his roommate, Jos Vondar. In what few rest breaks they had, Zan 
  would play his quetarra as a means of relaxing himself and Jos. 
  Vondar claimed it was one of the few things that helped keep 
  him sane amongst all the carnage the conflict of the Clone Wars 
  brought their way. Yant astonished all of those who heard his 
  musical talent to the point where they wondered why he didn’t 
  become a professional musician.
  In the beginning of the third year into the war, RMSU-7 
  fell under siege from a Separatist attack. Yant and the other 
  surgeons scrambled to evaculate. During the commotion of the 
  evacuation Zan dropped the case containing his quetarra and 
  was forced to leave it behind if he and the others were to reach 
  the transport in time for a safe escape. Fortunately a Sullustan 
  reporter named Den Dhur was able to retrieve the case for Zan 
  as he boarded the shuttle. However, during this joyful moment 
  a Confederate missile struck the transport, spraying shrapnel 
  into the passenger compartment. Zan Yant was hit by the rain of 
  metal, severing his spinal cord killing him almost instantly.

  Tolk Ie Trene – Republic Nurse
  Tolk Ie Trene was a female Lorrdian who worked as a nurse 
  during the Clone Wars. At the start of the third year of the 
  war, Ie Trene was stationed at the RMSU-7 military hospital on 
  Drongar. During her residency at the Rimsoo, she became physi-
  cally attracted to Corellian surgeon Jos Vondar. Although she 
  was aware Vondar was a follower of the Corellian Enster tradi-
  tion of not becoming intimately involved with non-Corellians, 
  Tolk vehemently pursued the potential relationship by making it 
  impossible for the doctor to overlook her flirtatious behavior. 
  Ie Trene eventually broke Vondar’s resolve and the two began 
  having an affair. Their relationship continued until Jos’ uncle, 
  Admiral Erel Kersos, was transferred to Drongar. Kersos was 
  aware of his nephew’s tryst and had Tolk transferred aboard 
  Medstar 19 for a series of Medical Education seminars so that 
  he might confront her about the situation. The admiral had also 
  married an offworlder and was exiled from his family because of 
  it. Due to the conversations Tolk had with Admiral Kersos, when 
  she returned to the Rimsoo she became withdrawn towards 
  Vondar as a test of their relationship.
  As a result of the about-face in her behavior, Tolk was 
  suspected of sabotage since she had been present on MedStar 
  19 during a suspicious explosion. She was quickly vindicated, 
  however, when she explained the situation to Jedi Barriss Offee. 
  Ie Trene finally reestablished communication with Vondar and 
  he pleaded with her to return with him to his home when the 
  battlefront on Drongar subsided. Knowing that Vondar would 
  cope with his exile if they were to be married, she agreed. Ie 
  Trene and Vondar returned to Corellia after the conflict had 
  ceased as a pair.

  THE REPUBLIC
  I-YQ – Protocol Droid
  I-5YQ began life as a YQ boutique series modification to 
  the Cybot Galactica Protocol Droid line. I-Five was initially 
  purchased by a wealthy family to act as a nanny to their chil-
  dren. Unfortunately, the spoiled children amused themselves 
  most often by abusing I-Five and having him walk off various 
  ledges to see how high he would bounce. The droid eventually 
  ended up in the hands of a junk dealer on Coruscant, and was 
  purchased by information broker and deal maker Lorn Pavan, 
  formerly an employee of the Jedi Temple.
  Lorn Pavan initially felt that I-Five might have some informa-
  tion in its memory about the noble family it used to work for, 
  but soon recognized the droid as something of a kindred spirit. 
  Pavan spent what few hard-conned credits he had left on giving 
  I-Five full sentience by removing his creativity dampeners and 
  boosting his cognitive functions considerably, achieving a level 
  of humanity only seen in droids that have gone several decades 
  without a memory wipe. Pavan then gave I-Five his freedom, but 
  offered to work with him as a business partner in the Coruscant 
  underworld. 
  Together, the duo ran several scams as con artists, includ-
  ing fraud, gambling scams, black marketeers, and infochants. 
  The partnership lasted solidly for five years, until, eleven years 
  before the Clone Wars would erupt, and the pair was cheated 
  out of a 50,000 credit deal by a crooked Toydarian fence. To 
  recover financially, I-Five and Pavan accepted a job, on I-Fives 
  suggestion, from a desperate Neimoidian who was selling 
  information on Trade Federation plans to blockade the peace-
  ful Naboo system. I-Five committed a major act of bank fraud 
  to come up with the initial stake to buy the information off the 
  Neimoidian, and the two hoped to sell the information back to a 
  local Hutt crime lord and flee to the Outer Rim with their newly 
  acquired wealth before the fraud could be detected. 
  Unfortunately, the blockade was a Sith plot, and Darth Maul 
  was dispatched by Lord Sidious to silence all who knew about 
  the impending blockade. I-Five and Lorn Pavan were identified 
  by the Sith warrior in the middle of making their final transac-
  tion with the Hutt crime lord, which began the chase. Lorn 
  and I-Five soon found themselves in a speeder occupied by 
  two Jedi, Master Anoon Bondara and Padawan Darsha Assant. 
  The two perceptive Jedi quickly identified Maul as a Sith, and 
  Master Bondara sacrificed himself to slow Darth Maul down 
  long enough for his Padawan, I-Five and Lorn Pavan to escape, 
  hoping they would make it to the Jedi Temple to report the 
  reemergence of the Sith and the planned blockade. 
  The trio crashed their speeder and began a legendary run for 
  the Jedi Temple while chased by the Sith. They were captured 
  by Cthon cannibals, who they managed to escape from thanks 
  to I-Five's sonic projectors and finger blasters. However, they 
  were soon trapped on a narrow bridge, caught between a deadly 
  Taozin and Darth Maul. I-Five initiated a daring escape plan, 
  which nearly killed Lorn Pavan and Darsha Assant, but it only 
  delayed the inevitable. Shortly afterward, all three were trapped 
  in a carbonite freezing plant with Darth Maul. 
  Padawan Assant followed her master's example and sacri-
  ficed herself to Darth Maul while I-Five froze both himself and 
  Lorn Pavan in carbonite. The nature of Assant's sacrifice saw 
  the entire plant explode, and Darth Maul left the droid and

  THE REPUBLIC
  
  infochant for dead. I-Five was happy to escape, but his partner 
  wanted revenge for the murder of Darsha Assant. Lorn made 
  I-Five promise to look after his son, Jax Pavan, a student at the 
  Jedi Temple, before shutting the droid down and 
  giving him to Tuden Sal, a friend that owed him 
  a favor. He instructed Sal to deliver I-Five to the 
  Jedi Temple, and went off after Darth Maul, who 
  ultimately killed Lorn Pavan. 
  Unfortunately, I-Five was never brought 
  to the Jedi Temple by Tuden Sal. Instead, Sal 
  wiped I-Five's memory and used him for his 
  own business. Eventually, he sold the droid 
  to a group of Glitterstim spice smug-
  glers who worked the Kessel Run. 
  Despite the growing tension in the 
  galaxy, it wasn't long before 
  the smugglers were captured 
  by Republic Judicials, and 
  I-Five was impounded. At a 
  judicial auction, I-Five was 
  purchased by a family of 
  nobles on Naboo, who 
  kept the droid for a short 
  time before he was 
  donated to the war effort 
  as the Clone Wars broke 
  out across the galaxy. 
  I-Five was given a full 
  medical software package 
  and pressed into service as 
  a triage nurse and utility 
  droid for Republic Mobile 
  Surgical Unit 7 on Drongar two years 
  into the Clone Wars. During his time 
  at RMSU-7, I-Five began making large 
  strides in recovering his memory, and 
  hardware functions he had forgotten 
  were installed. Within a few months, 
  he had fully restored his entire 
  memory and functionality, remem-
  bering his promise to Lorn Pavan to 
  look after his son, Jax. This created 
  a major moral dilemma for I-Five, 
  a new experience for him, as he 
  was torn between his duty for the 
  Republic and his duty to his dead 
  friend, Lorn Pavan. 
  During the months he spent 
  on Drongar, I-Five grew to be close 
  friends with Den Dhur, a Sullustan 
  holonet news reporter who made a 
  promise to get I-Five drunk, as well as 
  Dr's Zan Yant and Jos Vondar, Nurse 
  Tolk Ie Trene, and Jedi Padawan Barriss 
  Offee. The group often had philo-
  sophical discussions while playing 
  Sabacc in the local cantina, such 
  as the merit of droid and 
  clone sentience, and matters 
  of the war. I-Five also grew 
  close to a TDL series waitress 
  droid named Teedle, who he later reluctantly helped scrap for 
  parts to repair a damaged protective dome, much to his dismay. 
  Eventually, Den Dhur made good on his mission to get I-Five 
  intoxicated, and after a humorous performance and one lost 
  arm, I-Five came to a drunken epiphany concerning his moral 
  quandary concerning Jax Pavan, and decided he had to find 
  a way to get to Coruscant, even if it meant abandoning the 
  Republic. 
  Fortunately, Padawan Barriss Offee presented a means 
  of travel to Coruscant that would not include running 
  away. I-Five was tasked with delivering both a message 
  and vial to the Jedi Temple. Before I-Five had a chance to 
  leave, Drongar was deserted by the Republic, and Bar-
  riss Offee found she also had to travel to Coruscant. 
  Fortunately, she allowed I-Five to continue 
  the mission she set for him. I-Five also 
  convinced friend Den Dhur to accom-
  pany him, forming a partnership 
  similar in tone to the one he 
  shared with Lorn Pavan. The 
  three presumably traveled to 
  Coruscant together, and it is 
  believed I-Five was able to 
  make contact with Jax Pavan, 
  who survived Order-66 and man-
  aged to hide out on Coruscant, likely due to 
  I-Five's intervention.
