Anwis Eddicus

Anwis Eddicus was a Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic around 700 BBY. At this time, the Death Seed plague struck the galaxy, killing millions of beings. The outbreak ended when the parasitic drochs responsible for the plague were quarantined on the planet Nam Chorios, with Eddicus playing a role in ending the pandemic.

Eddicus was honored on occasion during the final years of the Republic. Kuat Systems Engineering's Eddicus-class planetary shuttle, developed in the decades before the Clone Wars, was named for the celebrated Chancellor. In 22 BBY, Biscuit Baron, a chain of restaurants owned by the Tagge Company, launched a month-long promotion known as "Heroes of the Republic" to highlight some of the Republic's more notable historical figures; holocubes depicting these beings were included in bundles of Biscuit Baron's QuickSnack and QuickSnackLite foods. Eddicus was among those honored by the campaign, which was promoted in an edition of HoloNet News CoCo District Edition by the company's CEO Roridan Temquill.
