Lanever Villecham

Lanever Villecham was a Tarsunt male politician who served as the Chancellor of the New Republic. Villecham, a delegate to the Galactic Senate from the Mid Rim planet Tarsunt, was a believer in the peace initiatives that the New Republic carried out after the signing of the Galactic Concordance with the Galactic Empire at the end of the Galactic Civil War.

As such, he focused his term in office on forging agreeable trade relations between the New Republic and the neutral systems in the Trans-Hydian Borderlands, but despite the insistence of General Leia Organa and the Resistance, did not consider the emerging First Order to be a threat. He perished on Hosnian Prime when the planet, then serving as the capital of the Republic, was destroyed by the First Order's Starkiller Base superweapon.
