Legend

this Ansionian represented his planet as a Senator to the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was one of the many supporters of the secession movement which sprang up as the Old Republic began to crumble, following the Battle of Naboo. He allied himself with Shu Mai, and agreed that Ansion would serve as the lynchpin of the secession movement. He had correctly represented his people as fractious beings who cared little for the Republic's endless laws and requirements, and believed that there was no possibility of the city dwellers agreeing to a treaty with the nomads which would keep Ansion a member of the Republic. However, he was unable to foresee the work of the Jedi Knights in persuading the two factions of Ansionians to define a common ground and sign the treaty, which allowed Ansion to remain part of the Republic. Despite this setback, Senator Mousul remained loyal to Shu Mai, who decided to maintain the Senator's support despite the loss of Ansion.
