Character
Orn Free Taa
Canon Legends version → Linked from 88 articles
Orn Free Taa was a male Rutian Twi'lek politician who represented his homeworld of Ryloth in both the Senates of the Galactic Republic and of its successor state, the Galactic Empire. Taa was unpopular on Ryloth, as he was content with amassing wealth for himself on Coruscant. During the Separatist Crisis, Taa joined the Loyalist Committee, which supported the Republic's leader, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, against the growing threat of Count Dooku's Confederacy of Independent Systems.
After the war, he retained his position in the Imperial Senate; while he kept his treasured wealth, he was little more than a puppet for the Galactic Empire. He conspired with Imperial Vice Admiral Rampart to discredit Twi'lek freedom fighter Cham Syndulla, though he was almost killed in the process. He worked with Moff Delian Mors and Darth Vader in trying to suppress Syndulla's Free Ryloth Movement, though these efforts were unsuccessful.
