-->''"War is not a state of being. It is meant to be a temporary chaos between periods of peace. Some want it to be the course of things: a default fact of existence. But I will not let that be so."''
Born into a political dynasty, Mothma represented her homeworld of Chandrila in the Galactic Senate and served as one of the leaders of the Loyalist faction. Following the rise of the Empire she became a co-founder of the Rebel Alliance and served as its civilian leader. After the Battle of Endor, Mothma is elected as the Chancellor of the New Republic senate.
----
* AesopAmnesia: Despite living during the time of the Old Republic and witnessing the gridlock that such a weak government produces, she does her very best to recreate such a government, and it leads to disaster after she leaves office.
* AllThereInTheManual: Deleted scenes from ''Revenge of the Sith'' feature Mothma as one of a handful of senators who feared Chancellor Palpatine was amassing too much power, thus organizing a pocket of resistance that grew into the Rebel Alliance. These scenes are still considered canon, and are mentioned in her databank entry.
* BenevolentConspiracy: Near the end of the Clone Wars, she started one with Bail Organa and several other senators to combat Palpatine's growing power.
* BigGood: She's the leader of [[LaResistance the Rebel Alliance]] following the death of co-founder Bail. She continues this role as the leader of the New Republic following the Battle of Endor.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Ordering soldiers into battle has never set well with her. Mothma feels a large amount of guilt over every death that comes out of her commands, whether it be Rebel, civilian, or even Imperial.
* GovernmentInExile: {{Invoked}} with her title Chancellor, which is implied to be the Rebel Alliance's way of saying that they are the true Galactic Republic while the Galactic Empire is the illegal usurper.
* ImprobableAge: She became a senator at the age of nineteen, having been trained for a career in politics by her parents.
* InternalReformist: When initially setting up the beginnings of what would become the Rebel Alliance, Mothma and the other senators intended to work from within the senate to undermine Chancellor Palpatine's power. This was before he declared himself Emperor and made any such attempts impossible.
* TheMentor: Served as one of Leia's mentors in the both the Imperial Senate and the Rebellion. In fact, the trajectory of her career makes her sound like a proto-Leia on paper: a political idealist, the daughter of a dynasty of statesmen, ascended to the Senate at age nineteen, where they made a name for themselves by working in charity efforts on disaffected worlds, and then became rebel leaders of great renown. The major difference is that Mothma never had to endure the destruction of Chandrila the same way Leia had to for Alderaan, and that drives Leia to adopt a more hardline stance against the Imperial Remnant than her mentor. They ended up on opposite sides of the demilitarization issue, and Leia's side was ultimately vindicated when the First Order destroys Hosnian Prime.
* MinorMajorCharacter: Despite her integral role in the Rebellion, she only appears for a single scene in ''Return of the Jedi''. She has a slightly bigger role in ''The Clone Wars'' series, as well as a much larger role in ''Rogue One'', the comics, and novels.
* AMotherToHerMen: She feels very responsible for [[LethallyExpensive the Bothans who died to bring the Rebels intel on the second Death Star]]. Mothma also takes the time to visit battlefields in order to personally observe the destruction and cost of the war.
** In ''Lost Stars'', Mothma also takes the time to assist a very drunk Thane Kyrell back to his quarters and listens to his drunken concerns about possibly accidently killing the love of his life, an Imperial officer, while serving the Rebellion. The next day she quietly takes him aside after a briefing and helps him fully commit to the Rebellion and ease his concerns.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She's returned the galaxy to the Old Republic way of government circa ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''... which naturally means that the government is riddled with corruption, gridlock, and incompetence. While it does have a standing army, it's nowhere near as efficient as the one that the Republic assembled at the beginning of the Clone Wars.
* NobleFugitive: She went on the run two years before the Battle of Yavin after giving a widely seen Holonet broadcast in which she denounced Palpatine, accused him and the Empire of war crimes, and encouraged resistance to his regime. She naturally shot up to number one on the Empire's most wanted list and is forced to stay at the safety of the current Rebel base or with the fleet at all times to avoid capture and execution.
* NostalgiaFilter: For the Republic of Valorum. Her leadership and shaping of the New Republic turned it into a CaptainErsatz of that government, with the exact same institutional faults and problems.
* PowerHair: As shown in the picture. She's one of the few sci-fi examples of this trope.
* RebelLeader: An unconventional example in that she has very little weight in the ''Return of the Jedi'''s plot. This is rectified by ''Rogue One''.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She is always willing to listen to her military advisors on how to best conduct the war against the Empire, being well aware that they are more knowledgeable about such things than her. Even when Mothma does not like a mission she will still approve it if a majority of her trusted officers agree it needs to be done.
* SecretSecretKeeper: ''Bloodline'' reveals that she always suspected the true parentage of Luke and Leia but simply never said anything.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Apart from Princess Leia, Mon Mothma is the only other major female member in the Rebellion as shown in the films.
* SupportingLeader: Again, she's the political leader of the Rebel Alliance, but has next to no importance in the Original Trilogy.
* WomanInWhite: Throughout her career she is always seen wearing regal white robes.

[[folder:Sinjir Velus]]
!!Sinjir Rath Velus
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsAftermath Aftermath]]'' | ''[[Literature/AftermathLifeDebt Life Debt]]'' | ''[[Literature/AftermathEmpiresEnd Empire's End]]''
A Imperial loyalty officer from the [=ISB=] stationed on Endor, Sinjir faked his death and deserted when the second Death Star was destroyed. Suffering from a crisis of conscience, he wondered the galaxy drinking for a few months before arriving on the planet Akiva, where he unintentionally becomes involved in a conflict between the New Republic and the Empire. After the Battle of Akiva, Sinjir joins the New Republic as part of a unit dedicated to hunting down Imperial war criminals. Near the end of the war, he becomes one of Chancellor Mon Mothma's senior advisors.
----
* AbusiveParents: His mother would punish him as a child using a switch made from a tree in their front yard.
* AntiHero: Proves to be just as brutal working for the New Republic as he was for the Empire. He struggles with this in ''Life Debt'', deciding that he wants to be a true hero, [[spoiler:but faced with increasing Imperial atrocities he decides to double down on his ruthlessness and do everything imaginable to defeat what remains of the Empire]].
-->'''Norra:''' You were a bad man.\\
'''Sinjir:''' Still am, maybe, though I'm trying to do better.
* TheAtoner: Eventually decides that he does regret his service to the Empire and decides to join up with the New Republic and hunt down war criminals to make up for his actions. As he continues to serve the New Republic, he decides to go all out on his atonement by deciding to not torture Imperial prisoners and spare some of the worst of the Empire. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the Liberation Day massacre and the events on Kashyyyk cause him to embrace the worst aspects of himself in order to protect his friends and prevent such atrocities from happening again]].
* BadassGay: Extremely skilled at fighting and causing pain in his opponents. Even when drunk he easily wipes the floor with two Imperial officers and two Stormtroopers. He is also revealed to be gay.
* ByronicHero: He is intelligent, charming, and cynical man with serious doubts about his ability to atone for his crimes, or if he even wants to. Sinjir also has little respect for hierarchy and most authority figures and comes to develop his own personal moral code that essentially boils down to [[spoiler:"destroy anything that might upset my friends regardless of the consequences"]].
* DangerousDeserter: Deserts his post in the Imperial military and joins the Rebels.
* DefectorFromDecadence: The destruction of the second Death Star and death of the Emperor stunned him and made him reconsider his service to the Empire.
* DrowningMySorrows: Spent around three months post-Endor drinking his way across the galaxy.
* FakingTheDead: To escape Endor and fake his death, Sinjir put his uniform on another Imperial and burned the body before killing a Rebel soldier, taking his clothes, and stealing his ship.
* FriendlessBackground: Mentions in ''Life Debt'' that he never had friends before Norra, Temmin, Jas, and Jom.
* HeelRealization: A protracted one: the destruction of the Death Star broke something inside him, and then he killed a Rebel to escape Endor and spent the next few months drinking until the events on Akiva made him realize what the Empire really was.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: Turns out a ex-[=ISB=] officer is really skilled at catching Imperials for the New Republic.
* IncompatibleOrientation: Turns down Jas' offer of sex due to being gay.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: After taking several strong strides away from the slope by attempting to develop a sense of mercy and regret, [[spoiler:Sinjir decides to plunge right off it after deciding the galaxy is a bad place and that he must embrace being a bad man to protect his friends, and starts off by murdering a prisoner in New Republic custody and then covering it up]].
* KarmaHoudini: He is pardoned and joins the New Republic after the Battle of Akiva. Being a loyalty officer for the [=ISB=] involves a lot of heinous activities, then there's the Rebel soldier he killed to escape Endor after the battle ended. It will take a lot of effort for him to make up for those crimes.
* LivingLieDetector: One of his skills as a loyalty officer was reading body language and detecting lies.
* MoralityPet: His friends are his.
* ThePoliticalOfficer: His job as a loyalty officer was to monitor Imperial soldiers for any hint of disloyalty or unacceptable behavior. Sinjir recalls finding one officer learning Ithorian, which he put a stop to by breaking a few fingers. That he of all people ends up deserting and joining the New Republic is [[LampshadeHanging pointed out as ironic]] by Moff Pandion.
* StraightGay: There was only one slight hint he was gay (calling a officer he beat badly as punishment for stealing a Moff's ring "beautiful") before he has to explain to Jas that the reason he was turning down her proposition for sex was not [[MistakenForRacist because she was an alien]], but because she was a woman.
* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Has a dark take on this at the end of ''Life Debt'', where he decides to do whatever it takes to keep his friends safe, while the rest of the galaxy can burn.
-->'''Sinjir:''' I no longer care about the state of the galaxy. I no longer give three damns about the Empire or the New Republic or whatever else comes rolling along when those both fade away. What I care about are the people I have in my life. I care about my friends. I've never had friends before. I had no idea how that felt. It's rather... overwhelming. To ''feel'' for people like that? To ''care'' about them? It's almost disgusting frankly. It's like I can't control it. But I don't want to control it. Not anymore. I'm all in.

-->''"In this time of upheaval, the galaxy will need law and order and you will grant it only chaos."''
A elderly human male who serves as an advisor to Mon Mothma after the establishment of the New Republic.
----
* PragmaticHero: He disagrees with Mon Mothma's plan to relinquish the emergency powers granted to the office of Chancellor during the Clone Wars, which will remove her direct control of the military. Ij thinks that it is too soon for such a step, but Mon Mothma wants to ensure that total democracy is returned to the galaxy as soon as possible.
** He also opposes Mon Mothma's plan to reduce the New Republic's military by ninety percent once the war with the Empire reaches its conclusion. Ij believes that giving those ships and weapons to the local planetary militias will only invite wars between the systems that the New Republic military would be too weak to prevent or that another crisis would leave them vulnerable. He turns out to be correct, to a certain extent. His fear of war between member systems is wrong, but the First Order does become a threat in thirty years time with the New Republic's central military too small to effectively oppose them and the senate reluctant to engage in military conflict.
* TheRival: To Auxi Kray Korbin, Mon Mothma's other advisor who often has opposing opinions.
* StrokeTheBeard: Has a long white beard which he strokes while in deep thought.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Despite their vastly different political opinions, Kobin and Ij get along well outside of work and often have dinner with each others families.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laneverv_villecham.png]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' TBD
->'''Appears in:''' ''Film/TheForceAwakens''
A male Tarsunt who served as Chancellor of the New Republic, circa thirty years after the Battle of Endor.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Almost all information about him comes from supplementary materials, such as the novelization and the ''Visual Dictionary''. His screen time in the movie amounts to looking horrified next to Korr Sella as Hosnian Prime is annihilated.
* CharacterDeath: He dies when Hosnian Prime is destroyed by Starkiller Base.
* HeadInTheSandManagement: He refused to believe that the First Order posed any threat, preferring to devote his efforts to bettering the trade relations with the neutral systems in the Trans-Hydian Borderlands. This attitude gets him and the rest of his planet killed when the First Order decides to destroy Hosnian Prime without warning.
* MeaningfulName: His name is clearly a reference to Ne'''ville Cham'''berlain, the British leader who ignored the threat presented by Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany.
* MinorMajorCharacter: Despite being the leader of the most powerful nation in the galaxy, he only has a non-speaking part in the movie.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His refusal to heed Leia’s warnings allowed to First Order to increase its power virtually unchecked and ultimately allows them to destroy Hosnian Prime and kill him along with billions of others when they claim he WAS helping them.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Was willing to hear out Leia's representative at least. Unfortunately, she came in too late to save Hosnian Prime or either of their lives from the First Order.

!!Senator Nower Jebel
->'''Portrayed by:''' Jonathan Aris
->'''Appears in:''' ''Film/RogueOne'' | ''[[Literature/AftermathEmpiresEnd Empire's End]]''
-->''"The Death Star. This is '''nonsense'''."''
A human male who served in the Imperial Senate as the senator of Uyter. Jebel was the Finance Minister of the Alliance Cabinet, and was present on Yavin 4 in the Great Temple of Massassi during the events leading up to the theft of the plans to the Death Star. Following the establishment of the New Republic, Jebel continued to serve as Uyter's senator and as Finance Minister.
----
* HiddenDepths: He's a fair weather friend when he's seen in ''Rogue One,'' but he's also seen in ''Empire's End,'' which means that he stuck with the Alliance through five years of uncertainty and defeats before the decisive victory at Jakku.
* {{Jerkass}}: Definitely not the kindest member of the Rebel Alliance. In the novelization of ''Rogue One'' he outright accuses Jyn of being bribed with freedom from Wobani to tell the Alliance Council a story about the Death Star.
* NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering: He and the rest of the Alliance Council have vastly different ideas on how to respond to the Death Star, and none of them are the same. Jebel is quite dismissive of the evidence presented and appears to consider it a ploy by the more militant members of the Rebel Alliance to trick the others into supporting open warfare against the Empire.

The senator of Orish, Wartol is one of the few thousand survivors of the Orishen species after they used a chemical weapon to annihilate the Imperials occupying their homeworld. After being elected, Wartol was Mon Mothma's opponent in the first race for the Chancellorship of the New Republic.
----
* BigBadEnsemble: While Gallius Rax is the Imperial threat of ''Empire's End'', Wartol is the primary antagonist of the political plotline.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He was a simple chemist on Orish before the Imperial occupation. It was his expertise that allowed the Orishen's to build the chemical bomb that annihilated the Imperial garrison and left their world a wasteland, which left him a hero in his people's eyes. That status made him a natural selection to become their senator, and thus turn into a major thorn in the side of Mon Mothma.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: After realizing that he will lose the election for Chancellor, Wartol [[spoiler:arranges for Mon Mothma's office to be bombed in order to "save" the New Republic from her weak leadership]].
* TheRival: To Mon Mothma for the Chancellorship. Wartol is convinced that her leadership is not enough to truly defeat the Empire and that she will make the New Republic too weak to survive as a galactic government.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Fears that Mon Mothma will make all the sacrifices of his people and others across the galaxy mean nothing by creating a weak New Republic that will not finish off the Empire or have the ability to hold itself together for long.

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsBloodline Bloodline]]''
A up and coming Centrist politician who represents the struggling industrial world of Riosa in the New Republic Senate. He is also a collector of Imperial memorabilia and considers the Empire a good idea but the leadership evil, having witnessed firsthand the evil of Darth Vader.
----
* AgentPeacock: He is a lot more capable in a fight, in fact he is a lot more badass period, then you would first expect. Casterfo is a capable pilot, has a talent for subterfuge, and has trained in Hosnian martial arts and quarterstaff combat, and can do it all while impeccably dressed.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Collects artifacts connected to the Galactic Empire.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Claudia Gray says Ransolm would be played by Tom Hiddleston.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Everything points to him being a corrupt Neo-Imperialist villain. [[spoiler: He's not.]]
* FatalFlaw: Casterfo's hatred of Darth Vader drives him to [[spoiler: out Leia as his daughter, convinced that he's revealing an agent of evil at the heart of the New Republic]]. Instead, all he does is [[spoiler:doom the New Republic and let the actual traitor, Carise, proceed with her plans unimpeded]].
* FallGuy: He ends up being one for [[spoiler: Carise Sindian and the First Order, who fabricate evidence making it look like he was the one backing the Amaxines and Rinnrivin Di in order to buy time for their proper unveiling, and as a way of beginning to purge the Centrists of moderates]].
* FrameUp: [[spoiler:He is framed by Carise as being the man behind the Nikto cartel and Amaxine militia]].
* HeelRealization: He has one as [[spoiler:he is being taken back to his homeworld to stand trial for a crime he didn't commit. He even confides in Leia before he is led away that he realizes the irony of his situation, in that the people he thought were his friends betrayed him while Leia, a woman whose career he destroyed, is the only real friend he had in the Senate.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Had he not destroyed Leia's career, she might have stopped his frame-up. Had he not helped reinstate the death penalty on his homeworld, he might not be facing a death sentence on after his trial.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He comes across as being rather idiotic, seeing as his comrades in the Centrists are a stone's throw from being fascist caricatures and he doesn't realize, until he's being led away to be executed, that they're all bad news.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite coming off as a sleazy right-wing politician and Imperial fanboy, he's probably the only Centrist who actually cares about the New Republic's people, rather than supporting centralization out of genuine fascist sympathies or militarism. Leia finds him to be an unlikely ally [[spoiler: and if he hadn't let his hatred of Darth Vader drive him to destroy her career, they could have reformed the Republic together.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He unwittingly [[spoiler: prevents Leia from reforming the Republic by destroying her career by revealing her true parentage. He intended to ruin her career because he believed she had been lying to everyone and was actually just another Darth Vader in disguise, but was unaware he was playing into the First Order's hands and that Leia was not secretly evil]].
* NotHelpingYourCase: Senator Casterfo tries to explain why he thinks the Empire was good but had bad leaders. He attempts to do so to ''Leia'', at one point noting how the Alliance used terrorist attacks and killed millions, including by destroying the Death Stars which had civilian contractors aboard. When Leia reminds him about Alderaan, Casterfo is immediately horrified by what he said and notes that it was a poor example.
* NotQuiteTheRightThing: [[spoiler: Destroys Leia's political career by revealing she's the daughter of Darth Vader, believing that he is exposing a hidden agent of evil at the heart of the New Republic. His actions only help the First Order form and gets him sentenced to death as they frame him for treason.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler: Leia delivers a horrifyingly brutal one to Casterfo when he outs her as Vader's kid. All of his self-righteousness is deflated and his ego is left crumbling with the realization Leia hates Vader more than he ever could and all he's done is make a mockery of a woman who devoted her life to destroying the man's legacy.]]
* SelfMadeMan: He is a war orphan and the survivor of an Imperial labor camp overseen personally by Darth Vader, on a world that suffered heavily during the Galactic Civil War, who worked his way up to his current position.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: His basic personality type. Averted a bit in the fact he's actually got a tendency to make terrible gaffes.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Leia and Casterfo to begin with. They eventually develop a mutual respect for each other and become friends. [[spoiler:Then Carise ruins it by giving him the recording of Bail revealing Leia's true heritage]].
* TokenGoodTeammate: The only prominent Centrist who does not express some support for the Emperor himself. While he supports a strong central government and some of the stated ideals of the Empire, he holds nothing but hate for its leaders, who he regards as a corrupting influence.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Carise tricks Casterfo into destroying Leia's political career and sets him up to take the fall for the Nikto cartel, the senate bombing, and the Amaxine militia]].
* WideEyedIdealist: Despite his fascination with the Empire, Casterfo admires some of the better structural parts of that government that would be beneficial for the New Republic to implement.

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsBloodline Bloodline]]''
A male human who has represented his home planet of Gatalenta since the founding of the New Republic. Tai-Lin is a friend of Leia Organa and a leading member of the Populist faction.
----
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Claudia Gray says Tai-Lin would be played by Ken Watanabe.
* ConspicuouslyPublicAssassination: [[spoiler:He is murdered by Arliz Hadrassian at one of his first public events during his campaign for First Senator.]]
* IconicOutfit: He typically wears a scarlet cloak, which makes him stand out rather easily in crowds.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Mostly: he is a key supporter of Leia and agrees with her on a lot of issues, while also being [[spoiler:one of two senators who maintain their full support and friendship in Leia after the truth about her parentage is revealed]]. However, he also shows no signs of being willing to compromise with the Centrists and tells Leia that if elected First Senator, he intends to do absolutely nothing with the position, letting the chance for the senate to actually get some good done go to waste.
* TheStoic: He is well-known for his calm and almost unflappable demeanor.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gives a very minor and gentle one to [[spoiler:Leia for not letting him or any of her other friends among the Populist's know about Darth Vader being her father since that information could, and does, have massive consequences for the party once it is discovered]].

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsBloodline Bloodline]]''
A female human who represents the planet of Arkanis. Lady Carise is a member of the Elder Houses, the ancient nobility of the galaxy, and a leading figure amongst the Centrists.
----
* AristocratsAreEvil: She is a political rival to Leia and a stuck-up and pompous ass who values noble heritage above everything else. She is [[spoiler:also secretly a member of the First Order and the one responsible for outing the fact Darth Vader is Leia's father and for framing Casterfo]].
* BlueBlood: She is a member of the Elder Houses, but the only person to whom this matters is her. She simply cannot understand this fact though, and acts as if everyone else also considers nobility to be the most important thing in the galaxy.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Claudia Gray sees Carise as Jamie Chung.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Upon first discovering [[spoiler:Leia's true heritage]], Carise is horrified by the information and although she instantly realizes she could use it to ensure Leia's career is destroyed, she feels that doing so would be a betrayal of her oath to safeguard the secrets of the Elder Houses and that even though Leia is a political opponent she does not deserve having her life ruined. [[spoiler:Carise later changes her mind when she realizes that Leia is close to uncovering the First Order's existence before they are ready to reveal themselves]].
* HiddenDepths: She loves space travel, and idly thinks to herself that if she had not been born into nobility she would have been a pilot. Every time she is on a ship travelling into hyperspace, she goes to the cockpit to watch and gets a thrill out of it.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Becoming governor of Birren both fuelled Carise's ambition and gave her the information to [[spoiler:destroy Leia's career]], but by ''accessing'' that information, she clearly broke her oath to uphold the royal seal, and Leia uses this to [[spoiler:persuade the Elder Houses to permanently strip Carise of all her titles and rank, taking away the only reason she was able to feel superior to others and crushing her self-esteem]].
* NaziNobleman: She is a [[spoiler:spy for the First Order, being one of several Centrist senators working to radicalize the party and lead them in secession from the New Republic]].
* SmugSnake: Although she is more competent than most examples, [[spoiler:Leia still knocks her down a peg or two towards the end of the book]].

The senator of Hevurion and a member of the Centrist Party who sits on a military appropriations committee. After the emergence of the First Order, General Leia Organa suspects of Ro-Kiintor colluding with them.
----
* AwesomeButImpractical: Poe's view of the Senator's starship, which "sacrifices efficiency for luxury."
* CorruptPolitician: Uses his position in the senate to block legislation that could sanction or criticize the First Order.
* TheMole: Leia suspects this of him and sends Poe to pose as a SpacePirate and capture the Senator's yacht so they can inspect the computer records.
* {{Warhawk}}: He is a member of the far-right wing of the Centrist party, which supports a dramatic increase in the size of both the central and local New Republic military forces. Casterfo notes that the size of the increase Ro-Kiintor suggests would only make sense if he was expecting a war. Ro-Kiintor suggests that they need more forces to curtail the rising rate of piracy and other criminal activity, but given the First Order's original plan was to seize control of the New Republic through the position of First Senator, it is clear Ro-Kiintor was planning for a war of conquest once that occurred.

-->''"War is not a state of being. It is meant to be a temporary chaos between periods of peace. Some want it to be the course of things: a default fact of existence. But I will not let that be so."''
Born into a political dynasty, Mothma represented her homeworld of Chandrila in the Galactic Senate and served as one of the leaders of the Loyalist faction. Following the rise of the Empire she became a co-founder of the Rebel Alliance and served as its civilian leader. After the Battle of Endor, Mothma is elected as the Chancellor of the New Republic senate.
----
* AesopAmnesia: Despite living during the time of the Old Republic and witnessing the gridlock that such a weak government produces, she does her very best to recreate such a government, and it leads to disaster after she leaves office.
* AllThereInTheManual: Deleted scenes from ''Revenge of the Sith'' feature Mothma as one of a handful of senators who feared Chancellor Palpatine was amassing too much power, thus organizing a pocket of resistance that grew into the Rebel Alliance. These scenes are still considered canon, and are mentioned in her databank entry.
* BenevolentConspiracy: Near the end of the Clone Wars, she started one with Bail Organa and several other senators to combat Palpatine's growing power.
* BigGood: She's the leader of [[LaResistance the Rebel Alliance]] following the death of co-founder Bail. She continues this role as the leader of the New Republic following the Battle of Endor.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Ordering soldiers into battle has never set well with her. Mothma feels a large amount of guilt over every death that comes out of her commands, whether it be Rebel, civilian, or even Imperial.
* GovernmentInExile: {{Invoked}} with her title Chancellor, which is implied to be the Rebel Alliance's way of saying that they are the true Galactic Republic while the Galactic Empire is the illegal usurper.
* ImprobableAge: She became a senator at the age of nineteen, having been trained for a career in politics by her parents.
* InternalReformist: When initially setting up the beginnings of what would become the Rebel Alliance, Mothma and the other senators intended to work from within the senate to undermine Chancellor Palpatine's power. This was before he declared himself Emperor and made any such attempts impossible.
* TheMentor: Served as one of Leia's mentors in the both the Imperial Senate and the Rebellion. In fact, the trajectory of her career makes her sound like a proto-Leia on paper: a political idealist, the daughter of a dynasty of statesmen, ascended to the Senate at age nineteen, where they made a name for themselves by working in charity efforts on disaffected worlds, and then became rebel leaders of great renown. The major difference is that Mothma never had to endure the destruction of Chandrila the same way Leia had to for Alderaan, and that drives Leia to adopt a more hardline stance against the Imperial Remnant than her mentor. They ended up on opposite sides of the demilitarization issue, and Leia's side was ultimately vindicated when the First Order destroys Hosnian Prime.
* MinorMajorCharacter: Despite her integral role in the Rebellion, she only appears for a single scene in ''Return of the Jedi''. She has a slightly bigger role in ''The Clone Wars'' series, as well as a much larger role in ''Rogue One'', the comics, and novels.
* AMotherToHerMen: She feels very responsible for [[LethallyExpensive the Bothans who died to bring the Rebels intel on the second Death Star]]. Mothma also takes the time to visit battlefields in order to personally observe the destruction and cost of the war.
** In ''Lost Stars'', Mothma also takes the time to assist a very drunk Thane Kyrell back to his quarters and listens to his drunken concerns about possibly accidently killing the love of his life, an Imperial officer, while serving the Rebellion. The next day she quietly takes him aside after a briefing and helps him fully commit to the Rebellion and ease his concerns.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She's returned the galaxy to the Old Republic way of government circa ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''... which naturally means that the government is riddled with corruption, gridlock, and incompetence. While it does have a standing army, it's nowhere near as efficient as the one that the Republic assembled at the beginning of the Clone Wars.
* NobleFugitive: She went on the run two years before the Battle of Yavin after giving a widely seen Holonet broadcast in which she denounced Palpatine, accused him and the Empire of war crimes, and encouraged resistance to his regime. She naturally shot up to number one on the Empire's most wanted list and is forced to stay at the safety of the current Rebel base or with the fleet at all times to avoid capture and execution.
* NostalgiaFilter: For the Republic of Valorum. Her leadership and shaping of the New Republic turned it into a CaptainErsatz of that government, with the exact same institutional faults and problems.
* PowerHair: As shown in the picture. She's one of the few sci-fi examples of this trope.
* RebelLeader: An unconventional example in that she has very little weight in the ''Return of the Jedi'''s plot. This is rectified by ''Rogue One''.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She is always willing to listen to her military advisors on how to best conduct the war against the Empire, being well aware that they are more knowledgeable about such things than her. Even when Mothma does not like a mission she will still approve it if a majority of her trusted officers agree it needs to be done.
* SecretSecretKeeper: ''Bloodline'' reveals that she always suspected the true parentage of Luke and Leia but simply never said anything.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Apart from Princess Leia, Mon Mothma is the only other major female member in the Rebellion as shown in the films.
* SupportingLeader: Again, she's the political leader of the Rebel Alliance, but has next to no importance in the Original Trilogy.
* WomanInWhite: Throughout her career she is always seen wearing regal white robes.

[[folder:Sinjir Velus]]
!!Sinjir Rath Velus
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsAftermath Aftermath]]'' | ''[[Literature/AftermathLifeDebt Life Debt]]'' | ''[[Literature/AftermathEmpiresEnd Empire's End]]''
A Imperial loyalty officer from the [=ISB=] stationed on Endor, Sinjir faked his death and deserted when the second Death Star was destroyed. Suffering from a crisis of conscience, he wondered the galaxy drinking for a few months before arriving on the planet Akiva, where he unintentionally becomes involved in a conflict between the New Republic and the Empire. After the Battle of Akiva, Sinjir joins the New Republic as part of a unit dedicated to hunting down Imperial war criminals. Near the end of the war, he becomes one of Chancellor Mon Mothma's senior advisors.
----
* AbusiveParents: His mother would punish him as a child using a switch made from a tree in their front yard.
* AntiHero: Proves to be just as brutal working for the New Republic as he was for the Empire. He struggles with this in ''Life Debt'', deciding that he wants to be a true hero, [[spoiler:but faced with increasing Imperial atrocities he decides to double down on his ruthlessness and do everything imaginable to defeat what remains of the Empire]].
-->'''Norra:''' You were a bad man.\\
'''Sinjir:''' Still am, maybe, though I'm trying to do better.
* TheAtoner: Eventually decides that he does regret his service to the Empire and decides to join up with the New Republic and hunt down war criminals to make up for his actions. As he continues to serve the New Republic, he decides to go all out on his atonement by deciding to not torture Imperial prisoners and spare some of the worst of the Empire. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the Liberation Day massacre and the events on Kashyyyk cause him to embrace the worst aspects of himself in order to protect his friends and prevent such atrocities from happening again]].
* BadassGay: Extremely skilled at fighting and causing pain in his opponents. Even when drunk he easily wipes the floor with two Imperial officers and two Stormtroopers. He is also revealed to be gay.
* ByronicHero: He is intelligent, charming, and cynical man with serious doubts about his ability to atone for his crimes, or if he even wants to. Sinjir also has little respect for hierarchy and most authority figures and comes to develop his own personal moral code that essentially boils down to [[spoiler:"destroy anything that might upset my friends regardless of the consequences"]].
* DangerousDeserter: Deserts his post in the Imperial military and joins the Rebels.
* DefectorFromDecadence: The destruction of the second Death Star and death of the Emperor stunned him and made him reconsider his service to the Empire.
* DrowningMySorrows: Spent around three months post-Endor drinking his way across the galaxy.
* FakingTheDead: To escape Endor and fake his death, Sinjir put his uniform on another Imperial and burned the body before killing a Rebel soldier, taking his clothes, and stealing his ship.
* FriendlessBackground: Mentions in ''Life Debt'' that he never had friends before Norra, Temmin, Jas, and Jom.
* HeelRealization: A protracted one: the destruction of the Death Star broke something inside him, and then he killed a Rebel to escape Endor and spent the next few months drinking until the events on Akiva made him realize what the Empire really was.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: Turns out a ex-[=ISB=] officer is really skilled at catching Imperials for the New Republic.
* IncompatibleOrientation: Turns down Jas' offer of sex due to being gay.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: After taking several strong strides away from the slope by attempting to develop a sense of mercy and regret, [[spoiler:Sinjir decides to plunge right off it after deciding the galaxy is a bad place and that he must embrace being a bad man to protect his friends, and starts off by murdering a prisoner in New Republic custody and then covering it up]].
* KarmaHoudini: He is pardoned and joins the New Republic after the Battle of Akiva. Being a loyalty officer for the [=ISB=] involves a lot of heinous activities, then there's the Rebel soldier he killed to escape Endor after the battle ended. It will take a lot of effort for him to make up for those crimes.
* LivingLieDetector: One of his skills as a loyalty officer was reading body language and detecting lies.
* MoralityPet: His friends are his.
* ThePoliticalOfficer: His job as a loyalty officer was to monitor Imperial soldiers for any hint of disloyalty or unacceptable behavior. Sinjir recalls finding one officer learning Ithorian, which he put a stop to by breaking a few fingers. That he of all people ends up deserting and joining the New Republic is [[LampshadeHanging pointed out as ironic]] by Moff Pandion.
* StraightGay: There was only one slight hint he was gay (calling a officer he beat badly as punishment for stealing a Moff's ring "beautiful") before he has to explain to Jas that the reason he was turning down her proposition for sex was not [[MistakenForRacist because she was an alien]], but because she was a woman.
* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Has a dark take on this at the end of ''Life Debt'', where he decides to do whatever it takes to keep his friends safe, while the rest of the galaxy can burn.
-->'''Sinjir:''' I no longer care about the state of the galaxy. I no longer give three damns about the Empire or the New Republic or whatever else comes rolling along when those both fade away. What I care about are the people I have in my life. I care about my friends. I've never had friends before. I had no idea how that felt. It's rather... overwhelming. To ''feel'' for people like that? To ''care'' about them? It's almost disgusting frankly. It's like I can't control it. But I don't want to control it. Not anymore. I'm all in.

* TheRival: To Hostis Ij, Mon Mothma's other advisor who often has opposing opinions. Kobin rather enjoys riling Ij up, noting at one point that his opinions on the New Republic needing to maintain a strong military in order to keep order make him sound more like an Imperial than a member of the New Republic.

-->''"In this time of upheaval, the galaxy will need law and order and you will grant it only chaos."''
A elderly human male who serves as an advisor to Mon Mothma after the establishment of the New Republic.
----
* PragmaticHero: He disagrees with Mon Mothma's plan to relinquish the emergency powers granted to the office of Chancellor during the Clone Wars, which will remove her direct control of the military. Ij thinks that it is too soon for such a step, but Mon Mothma wants to ensure that total democracy is returned to the galaxy as soon as possible.
** He also opposes Mon Mothma's plan to reduce the New Republic's military by ninety percent once the war with the Empire reaches its conclusion. Ij believes that giving those ships and weapons to the local planetary militias will only invite wars between the systems that the New Republic military would be too weak to prevent or that another crisis would leave them vulnerable. He turns out to be correct, to a certain extent. His fear of war between member systems is wrong, but the First Order does become a threat in thirty years time with the New Republic's central military too small to effectively oppose them and the senate reluctant to engage in military conflict.
* TheRival: To Auxi Kray Korbin, Mon Mothma's other advisor who often has opposing opinions.
* StrokeTheBeard: Has a long white beard which he strokes while in deep thought.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Despite their vastly different political opinions, Kobin and Ij get along well outside of work and often have dinner with each others families.

->'''Portrayed by:''' TBD
->'''Appears in:''' ''Film/TheForceAwakens''
A male Tarsunt who served as Chancellor of the New Republic, circa thirty years after the Battle of Endor.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Almost all information about him comes from supplementary materials, such as the novelization and the ''Visual Dictionary''. His screen time in the movie amounts to looking horrified next to Korr Sella as Hosnian Prime is annihilated.
* CharacterDeath: He dies when Hosnian Prime is destroyed by Starkiller Base.
* HeadInTheSandManagement: He refused to believe that the First Order posed any threat, preferring to devote his efforts to bettering the trade relations with the neutral systems in the Trans-Hydian Borderlands. This attitude gets him and the rest of his planet killed when the First Order decides to destroy Hosnian Prime without warning.
* MeaningfulName: His name is clearly a reference to Ne'''ville Cham'''berlain, the British leader who ignored the threat presented by Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany.
* MinorMajorCharacter: Despite being the leader of the most powerful nation in the galaxy, he only has a non-speaking part in the movie.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His refusal to heed Leia’s warnings allowed to First Order to increase its power virtually unchecked and ultimately allows them to destroy Hosnian Prime and kill him along with billions of others when they claim he WAS helping them.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Was willing to hear out Leia's representative at least. Unfortunately, she came in too late to save Hosnian Prime or either of their lives from the First Order.

!!Senator Nower Jebel
->'''Portrayed by:''' Jonathan Aris
->'''Appears in:''' ''Film/RogueOne'' | ''[[Literature/AftermathEmpiresEnd Empire's End]]''
-->''"The Death Star. This is '''nonsense'''."''
A human male who served in the Imperial Senate as the senator of Uyter. Jebel was the Finance Minister of the Alliance Cabinet, and was present on Yavin 4 in the Great Temple of Massassi during the events leading up to the theft of the plans to the Death Star. Following the establishment of the New Republic, Jebel continued to serve as Uyter's senator and as Finance Minister.
----
* HiddenDepths: He's a fair weather friend when he's seen in ''Rogue One,'' but he's also seen in ''Empire's End,'' which means that he stuck with the Alliance through five years of uncertainty and defeats before the decisive victory at Jakku.
* {{Jerkass}}: Definitely not the kindest member of the Rebel Alliance. In the novelization of ''Rogue One'' he outright accuses Jyn of being bribed with freedom from Wobani to tell the Alliance Council a story about the Death Star.
* NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering: He and the rest of the Alliance Council have vastly different ideas on how to respond to the Death Star, and none of them are the same. Jebel is quite dismissive of the evidence presented and appears to consider it a ploy by the more militant members of the Rebel Alliance to trick the others into supporting open warfare against the Empire.

The senator of Orish, Wartol is one of the few thousand survivors of the Orishen species after they used a chemical weapon to annihilate the Imperials occupying their homeworld. After being elected, Wartol was Mon Mothma's opponent in the first race for the Chancellorship of the New Republic.
----
* BigBadEnsemble: While Gallius Rax is the Imperial threat of ''Empire's End'', Wartol is the primary antagonist of the political plotline.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He was a simple chemist on Orish before the Imperial occupation. It was his expertise that allowed the Orishen's to build the chemical bomb that annihilated the Imperial garrison and left their world a wasteland, which left him a hero in his people's eyes. That status made him a natural selection to become their senator, and thus turn into a major thorn in the side of Mon Mothma.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: After realizing that he will lose the election for Chancellor, Wartol [[spoiler:arranges for Mon Mothma's office to be bombed in order to "save" the New Republic from her weak leadership]].
* TheRival: To Mon Mothma for the Chancellorship. Wartol is convinced that her leadership is not enough to truly defeat the Empire and that she will make the New Republic too weak to survive as a galactic government.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Fears that Mon Mothma will make all the sacrifices of his people and others across the galaxy mean nothing by creating a weak New Republic that will not finish off the Empire or have the ability to hold itself together for long.

A up and coming Centrist politician who represents the struggling industrial world of Riosa in the New Republic Senate. He is also a collector of Imperial memorabilia and considers the Empire a good idea but the leadership evil, having witnessed firsthand the evil of Darth Vader.
----
* AgentPeacock: He is a lot more capable in a fight, in fact he is a lot more badass period, then you would first expect. Casterfo is a capable pilot, has a talent for subterfuge, and has trained in Hosnian martial arts and quarterstaff combat, and can do it all while impeccably dressed.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Collects artifacts connected to the Galactic Empire.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Claudia Gray says Ransolm would be played by Tom Hiddleston.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Everything points to him being a corrupt Neo-Imperialist villain. [[spoiler: He's not.]]
* FatalFlaw: Casterfo's hatred of Darth Vader drives him to [[spoiler: out Leia as his daughter, convinced that he's revealing an agent of evil at the heart of the New Republic]]. Instead, all he does is [[spoiler:doom the New Republic and let the actual traitor, Carise, proceed with her plans unimpeded]].
* FallGuy: He ends up being one for [[spoiler: Carise Sindian and the First Order, who fabricate evidence making it look like he was the one backing the Amaxines and Rinnrivin Di in order to buy time for their proper unveiling, and as a way of beginning to purge the Centrists of moderates]].
* FrameUp: [[spoiler:He is framed by Carise as being the man behind the Nikto cartel and Amaxine militia]].
* HeelRealization: He has one as [[spoiler:he is being taken back to his homeworld to stand trial for a crime he didn't commit. He even confides in Leia before he is led away that he realizes the irony of his situation, in that the people he thought were his friends betrayed him while Leia, a woman whose career he destroyed, is the only real friend he had in the Senate.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Had he not destroyed Leia's career, she might have stopped his frame-up. Had he not helped reinstate the death penalty on his homeworld, he might not be facing a death sentence on after his trial.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He comes across as being rather idiotic, seeing as his comrades in the Centrists are a stone's throw from being fascist caricatures and he doesn't realize, until he's being led away to be executed, that they're all bad news.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite coming off as a sleazy right-wing politician and Imperial fanboy, he's probably the only Centrist who actually cares about the New Republic's people, rather than supporting centralization out of genuine fascist sympathies or militarism. Leia finds him to be an unlikely ally [[spoiler: and if he hadn't let his hatred of Darth Vader drive him to destroy her career, they could have reformed the Republic together.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He unwittingly [[spoiler: prevents Leia from reforming the Republic by destroying her career by revealing her true parentage. He intended to ruin her career because he believed she had been lying to everyone and was actually just another Darth Vader in disguise, but was unaware he was playing into the First Order's hands and that Leia was not secretly evil]].
* NotHelpingYourCase: Senator Casterfo tries to explain why he thinks the Empire was good but had bad leaders. He attempts to do so to ''Leia'', at one point noting how the Alliance used terrorist attacks and killed millions, including by destroying the Death Stars which had civilian contractors aboard. When Leia reminds him about Alderaan, Casterfo is immediately horrified by what he said and notes that it was a poor example.
* NotQuiteTheRightThing: [[spoiler: Destroys Leia's political career by revealing she's the daughter of Darth Vader, believing that he is exposing a hidden agent of evil at the heart of the New Republic. His actions only help the First Order form and gets him sentenced to death as they frame him for treason.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler: Leia delivers a horrifyingly brutal one to Casterfo when he outs her as Vader's kid. All of his self-righteousness is deflated and his ego is left crumbling with the realization Leia hates Vader more than he ever could and all he's done is make a mockery of a woman who devoted her life to destroying the man's legacy.]]
* SelfMadeMan: He is a war orphan and the survivor of an Imperial labor camp overseen personally by Darth Vader, on a world that suffered heavily during the Galactic Civil War, who worked his way up to his current position.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: His basic personality type. Averted a bit in the fact he's actually got a tendency to make terrible gaffes.

* TokenGoodTeammate: The only prominent Centrist who does not express some support for the Emperor himself. While he supports a strong central government and some of the stated ideals of the Empire, he holds nothing but hate for its leaders, who he regards as a corrupting influence.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Carise tricks Casterfo into destroying Leia's political career and sets him up to take the fall for the Nikto cartel, the senate bombing, and the Amaxine militia]].
* WideEyedIdealist: Despite his fascination with the Empire, Casterfo admires some of the better structural parts of that government that would be beneficial for the New Republic to implement.

[[folder:Tai-Lin Garr]]
!!Senator Tai-Lin Garr
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsBloodline Bloodline]]''
A male human who has represented his home planet of Gatalenta since the founding of the New Republic. Tai-Lin is a friend of Leia Organa and a leading member of the Populist faction.
----
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Claudia Gray says Tai-Lin would be played by Ken Watanabe.
* ConspicuouslyPublicAssassination: [[spoiler:He is murdered by Arliz Hadrassian at one of his first public events during his campaign for First Senator.]]
* IconicOutfit: He typically wears a scarlet cloak, which makes him stand out rather easily in crowds.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Mostly: he is a key supporter of Leia and agrees with her on a lot of issues, while also being [[spoiler:one of two senators who maintain their full support and friendship in Leia after the truth about her parentage is revealed]]. However, he also shows no signs of being willing to compromise with the Centrists and tells Leia that if elected First Senator, he intends to do absolutely nothing with the position, letting the chance for the senate to actually get some good done go to waste.
* TheStoic: He is well-known for his calm and almost unflappable demeanor.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gives a very minor and gentle one to [[spoiler:Leia for not letting him or any of her other friends among the Populist's know about Darth Vader being her father since that information could, and does, have massive consequences for the party once it is discovered]].

[[folder:Carise Sindian]]
!!Senator Carise Sindian
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsBloodline Bloodline]]''
A female human who represents the planet of Arkanis. Lady Carise is a member of the Elder Houses, the ancient nobility of the galaxy, and a leading figure amongst the Centrists.
----
* AristocratsAreEvil: She is a political rival to Leia and a stuck-up and pompous ass who values noble heritage above everything else. She is [[spoiler:also secretly a member of the First Order and the one responsible for outing the fact Darth Vader is Leia's father and for framing Casterfo]].
* BlueBlood: She is a member of the Elder Houses, but the only person to whom this matters is her. She simply cannot understand this fact though, and acts as if everyone else also considers nobility to be the most important thing in the galaxy.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Claudia Gray sees Carise as Jamie Chung.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Upon first discovering [[spoiler:Leia's true heritage]], Carise is horrified by the information and although she instantly realizes she could use it to ensure Leia's career is destroyed, she feels that doing so would be a betrayal of her oath to safeguard the secrets of the Elder Houses and that even though Leia is a political opponent she does not deserve having her life ruined. [[spoiler:Carise later changes her mind when she realizes that Leia is close to uncovering the First Order's existence before they are ready to reveal themselves]].
* HiddenDepths: She loves space travel, and idly thinks to herself that if she had not been born into nobility she would have been a pilot. Every time she is on a ship travelling into hyperspace, she goes to the cockpit to watch and gets a thrill out of it.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Becoming governor of Birren both fuelled Carise's ambition and gave her the information to [[spoiler:destroy Leia's career]], but by ''accessing'' that information, she clearly broke her oath to uphold the royal seal, and Leia uses this to [[spoiler:persuade the Elder Houses to permanently strip Carise of all her titles and rank, taking away the only reason she was able to feel superior to others and crushing her self-esteem]].
* NaziNobleman: She is a [[spoiler:spy for the First Order, being one of several Centrist senators working to radicalize the party and lead them in secession from the New Republic]].
* SmugSnake: Although she is more competent than most examples, [[spoiler:Leia still knocks her down a peg or two towards the end of the book]].
* UpperClassTwit: She comes off as this when first introduced. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:she really is something far worse]].

A female Loneran senator and a member of the Populists. Vicly is well known for throwing extravagant parties but is an honest politician and a key ally and friend of Leia Organa.

[[folder:Erudo Ro-Kiintor]]
!!Senator Erudo Ro-Kiintor
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsBloodline Bloodline]]'' | ''Star Wars: Before the Awakening''
The senator of Hevurion and a member of the Centrist Party who sits on a military appropriations committee. After the emergence of the First Order, General Leia Organa suspects of Ro-Kiintor colluding with them.
----
* AwesomeButImpractical: Poe's view of the Senator's starship, which "sacrifices efficiency for luxury."
* CorruptPolitician: Uses his position in the senate to block legislation that could sanction or criticize the First Order.
* TheMole: Leia suspects this of him and sends Poe to pose as a SpacePirate and capture the Senator's yacht so they can inspect the computer records.
* {{Warhawk}}: He is a member of the far-right wing of the Centrist party, which supports a dramatic increase in the size of both the central and local New Republic military forces. Casterfo notes that the size of the increase Ro-Kiintor suggests would only make sense if he was expecting a war. Ro-Kiintor suggests that they need more forces to curtail the rising rate of piracy and other criminal activity, but given the First Order's original plan was to seize control of the New Republic through the position of First Senator, it is clear Ro-Kiintor was planning for a war of conquest once that occurred.
