Orn Free Taa
A corpulent, corrupt Twi'lek Senator from Ryloth, Orn Free Taa was disliked on his homeworld for enriching himself on Coruscant and enmeshing himself in politics, becoming a leading power broker in the Senate. Free Taa was one of the Republic's leading Loyalists and a strong backer of the military, but his indulgences made him a symbol of everything the Separatists considered rotten about the Republic.

HISTORY
FALL OF THE REPUBLIC
The corpulent Orn Free Taa represented Ryloth in the Galactic Senate during the Republic’s final years, and became known as a symbol of the greed and corruption that made the galaxy ungovernable. During the Separatist Crisis, Taa became a prominent Loyalist, pushing for the creation of a clone army.
Taa’s relationship with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine wasn’t without its drawbacks. When the bounty hunter Cad Bane invaded the Senate Building and took hostages, Palpatine dispatched Taa to free Ziro the Hutt from captivity, as Bane had demanded.
THE DARK TIMES
Under the Empire, Taa remained Senator of Ryloth, now an Imperial protectorate. The corrupt Senator was charged with keeping up spice production, and had to contend with his old rival Syndulla, now a leader of the Free Ryloth movement.
