Fyg Boras

Fyg Boras was a Vor senator of the New Republic who represented the planet Vortex in the New Republic Senate in 27 ABY. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Vortex was among the many worlds that fell to the invaders. Eventually, the galactic capital Coruscant was also captured, forcing Boras and the other surviving members of the New Republic to take refuge on the planet Mon Calamari.

When former smuggler-turned-businessman Lando Calrissian and Smugglers' Alliance leader Talon Karrde arrived on Mon Calamari with relief supplies, the pair approached Boras and struck an arrangement with him. They would provide him with twenty-five tons of relief supplies that were to be distributed to the refugees; in return, Boras was to vote for an amendment authorizing the New Republic to purchase Calrissian's YVH 1 battle droids.

However, Boras decided to sell the supplies for his own profit rather than giving them freely. Knowing that he would not be reelected to the Senate while his homeworld was under Yuuzhan Vong occupation, Boras chose to prioritize his future well being instead. On their next meeting, Calrissian and Karrde were able to blackmail the Vor senator into switching his vote for the next Chief of State from Fyor Rodan to Cal Omas by producing a holo-recording of their initial meeting with Boras.
