Legend

this Quarren Senator to the New Republic served on the Advisory Council during in the initial stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He was the first Quarren to serve on the Council, and was something of a surprise choice in the wake of the general apathy the Quarren showed the Alliance. It was whispered that Borsk Fey'lya had pushed hard for Pwoe's nomination. Pwoe was opposed to the formation of a new Jedi Council, and was one of the first Senators to question the validity of Leia Organa Solo's assessment of the Yuuzhan Vong's abilities. He also accused Leia of exaggerating the threat in an effort to gather power for herself in order to unseat Fey'lya. In addition, it was Pwoe who first accused Jagged Fel of harboring intense anti-alien biases, despite the fact that Fel had been brought up among the Chiss and was considered one of their own. Pwoe was one of few members of the Advisory Council to reach Borleias, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, and tried to take command of the Republic in the wake of Fey'lya's death. He met with stern opposition from General Wedge Antilles, who believed that Pwoe was not going to work in the best interests of the Republic. Nevertheless, Antilles bowed to Pwoe's demands that Borleias be sacrificed so that the Advisory Council could reconvene and determine a strategy for saving the galaxy. For his own part, Pwoe named himself Chief of State of the New Republic, despite the fact that the Republic was virtually destroyed. He later began moving the command structure of the Republic to Kuat, disregarding the calls from Cal Omas on Calamari to reconvene there. Pwoe, now ostracized from the New Republic, had decided to meet his own agenda, and even agreed to meet with the Peace Brigade - and the Yuuzhan Vong's Supreme Overlord, Shimrra - on Ylesia to discuss treaty of friendship with the Ylesian Republic. Unfortunately, Pwoe's supporters were not interested in allying themselves with the enemy, and many deserted him. Pwoe and the few supporters that traveled with him to Ylesia were captured by General Tigran Jamiro's forces.
