Kin Robb

Kin Robb was a human female politician who represented the planet Taris in the Senate of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. Noted by observers and colleagues for her imposing stature and brightly colored attire, Robb was an upstanding senator, fighting for the betterment of her world despite widespread strife on Taris caused by great cultural and economic divides. During the Clone Wars fought between the Republic and its splinter state, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Robb joined Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore's Council of Neutral Systems and supported her battles for neutrality in the Senate. In addition, Robb was a staunch ally of Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo and her coalition's attempts to broker the de-escalation of the war.

Though initially supportive of peace movements and critical of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine's emergency wartime powers, Robb would shift in her positions by the war's final year. Robb was one of the most vocal critics of the nomination of Baron Rush Clovis to the leadership of the InterGalactic Banking Clan and, when word broke that Clovis was a puppet and that Scipio, headquarters of the banks, was being occupied by the Separatists, she was among several senators who called for a counterattack to assert Republic jurisdiction over the planet, which resulted in the Republic's nationalization of the Banking Clan and the expansion of Palpatine's executive powers. By the time of the establishment of the Imperial Senate, Robb was no longer serving as Taris' representative on the galactic stage.
