Gupat Roshti

Gupat Roshti was a Togruta male who served as the governor of the planet Kiros during the Clone Wars. In 20 BBY, Roshti spoke with Jedi Grand Master Yoda, informing the Jedi Master he intended to negotiate with Count Dooku and the Separatists. However, Dooku had formed an alliance with Zygerrian slavers and when the two met, the Count escorted the governor away under a false sense of protection. The Zygerrian commander Darts D'Nar then ordered the fifty thousand Togrutas of Roshti's colony to be rounded up, so they could be sold into slavery.

When the Jedi later traveled to the planet Zygerria to rescue Roshti and his people, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Clone Captain Rex failed to rescue the governor. Both Roshti and Kenobi were captured and offered as slaves at the Zygerrian slave auction, before they, alongside Rex, were transferred to the slave processing facility on Kadavo.

Eventually, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Jedi Master Plo Koon, and the 104th Battalion arrived at the Zygerrian slave processing facility, rescuing Roshti and the surviving people of Kiros. On Admiral Coburn's Venator-class Star Destroyer, the emancipated governor thanked the Jedi and the Galactic Republic for saving his life and those of his people. In private, Roshti spoke with Tano, informing her the people of Kiros would join the Republic.
