Esu Rotsino

Esu Rotsino, hailing from the Abrion sector, was a senator who represented the astronomical object Abrion Major in the Senate of the Galactic Republic. In 22 BBY, during the Separatist Crisis, due to ag-producers of the Abrion sector living for decades with minimal options and control of the goods they provided, Rotsino led the entire sector to secede from the Republic to the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

When submitting Articles of Secession to the Senate, Rotsino explained that the Abrion sector's inhabitants felt that the Confederacy were a more appreciative market to their products and that they wished to be freed from the bureaucracy of the Republic. As a result of her actions, the Senate began debating the provision of emergency subsidies to the remaining Republic agricultural sectors, as the Core Worlds region faced the possibility of starvation. Rotsino's statements were later quoted in a 13:4:18 issue of the CoCo District Edition of the HoloNet News that covered the Abrion sector's secession.
