Legend

this Quarren businessbeing was elected as a Senator by the Quarren on Calamari during the last decades of the Old Republic. Over time, Tikkes amased a huge fortune through the corruption and graft which sprung up shortly before Chancellor Valorum was voted out of power. During the year leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Senator Tikkes began to side with Orn Free Taa and the Senators who opposed Chancellor Finis Valorum's command of the Old Republic. As the years wore on and planets began to secede from the stagnating Republic, Senator Tikkes was one of the many voices in the Senate who called for the direct formation of the Army of the Republic, rather than voting on it and having the Amry's formation delayed by the constant bickering of the Senate. However, any political sway Senator Tikkes might have had was eliminated when he was implicated as part of a Thalassian slavery ring. Tikkes was taken to prison on Calamari and was replaced by Tundra Dowmeia, but later jumped bail and fled the planet. It was believed that Tikkes joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems shortly afterward.
