Tardi

Viscount Tardi was the Minister of Finance for the Rebel Alliance during the early days of the Galactic Civil War. A wealthy financier who was known for his ceremonial skill as well as his place in galactic finance, in 3 ABY, Tardi worked with Princess Leia Organa to negotiate a large sale of T-65 X-wing starfighters for the Rebel fleet. Tardi and Organa made plans to finance the transaction through the Bank of Aargau, but Tardi died about a month before their trip to Aargau was scheduled. As Tardi's presence was crucial for the transaction going through, the Rebels faked his presence with a replica droid.
