Omchro

Omchro was a male individual from the planet Abednedo who lived during the reign of the Galactic Republic. Omchro once called for a strike after the deaths of forty-two workers, which resulted in him being detained by the Mining Guild for three months. In his waning years, Omchro produced a series of oil paintings of his cell, with each painting depicting the cots, walls, and door from a different angle.

In 19 BBY, the Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire. That year, Senator Mon Mothma was taken into custody by Imperial security officers on the planet Coruscant. While waiting to be interrogated, Mothma thought about several Republic political figures who she considered to have been wrongly imprisoned, including Omchro, and felt that she was not like them and had not sacrificed as much as they had.
