Unidentified Ithorian senator

An Ithorian hailed from the planet Ithor and lived during the Republic Era. By 28 BBY, they represented their homeworld in the Galactic Republic's Galactic Senate.

That year, the Ithorians sought to make the map to a hyperspace route running through Lesser Plooriod Cluster public in a motion within the Galactic Senate, as they had used the route for a long time and mapped most of it. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine opened the Senate floor for debate, allowing a human senator and a Trade Federation delegate to argue with the Ithorian senator proposing the initiative. Senator Padmé Amidala voted in favor of the motion, musing that the Urce sector's inhabitants only held a claim to part of the route, while the Ithorians had been using the route long before the Trade Federation had separately mapped it. However, the motion ultimately failed.
