Edi Wedd

Baron Edi Wedd was a decorated insectoid commander of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. A proud and arrogant Separatist sympathizer, Wedd was unsuccessfully indicted by their people for directing resources to the Confederate government. Joining the Separatist cause, the Baron constructed a massive, impenetrable fortress called the Impregnable on planet Amaltanna, where they mercilessly eradicated a sieging force composed of their own people.

When Galactic Republic forces met those of Wedd at the Battle of Amaltanna, the Baron remained inside the fortress, safeguarded from invasion. A furious battle ensued, resulting in a total loss of all combatants save for Jedi General Bultar Swan, Wedd, and the droids kept inside the colossal stronghold. Swan thereafter entered the Impregnable and advanced toward the multi-limbed Separatist commander as they taunted her over loudspeakers. Wedd activated the defense systems remotely, but the relentless Jedi dispatched the droids and evaded the traps, deliberately impairing the communications relay in the process. When she found Wedd's innermost sanctum, the insectoid remained inside, proudly extolling its impenetrability; Swan simply destroyed the door's control panel and life-support systems, encasing Baron Wedd within the Impregnable fortress forever.
