Halle Burtoni

Halle Burtoni was an elderly female Kaminoan who represented her Wild Space homeworld of Kamino in the Galactic Senate of the Republic and by extension she represented her star system and the unnamed sector of stars in Wild Space. The original suppliers of the clone troopers that composed the Grand Army of the Republic, the Kaminoan scientists' cloning facilities were essential to the Republic's war effort against the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Their contribution facilitated Kamino's entry into the Galactic Republic, leading to Burtoni's appointment to the ranks of the Senate. As a politician, Senator Burtoni was a strong advocate for the increased production of clone troopers, mainly to further the interests of her world and to better enable the Republic to defeat the Separatists through force. Her political positions were supported by many loyalist allies in the Senate, but were also opposed by the senators who advocated for diplomacy. Burtoni's chief political enemies included fellow senators such as Padmé Amidala of Naboo, Onaconda Farr of Rodia, and Bail Prestor Organa of Alderaan.
