Legend

this man was the popular Senior Counselor of the city of Hedrett, on Cularin, in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was defeated in a general election by Westa Impeveri, and claimed that the ballot boxes had been rigged against him. An investigation proved that Impeveri was innocent, and Blakken was voted out of office. Nevertheless, he remained an important figure in the city's government, and was among the many who were invited to debate the problems associated with floating cities during the height of the Clone Wars. It was Blakken's opinon that the floating cities were too much of a tax burden, and that they should be taken out of the jungles and established as ground-side locations. His opinion was seconded by many of Cularin's natives, although he continued to find opposition among the government.
