Legend

this Rodian represented his homeworld of Rodia in the Old Republic Senate, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. It was Senator Farr who first accused the upper echelons of the Galactic Senate of conspiring with the Separatists, an accusation which led to the arrest of Yir Tangee Senator Havriso Looruya. Senator Farr claimed to have evidence of more than 240 Senators and Judicial officials who were connected to the Separatist movement. In the wake of Senator Looruya's censure, Senator Farr was named to the membership of the Loyalist Committee in his stead, shortly after the death of his brother and sister-in-law in a house fire. He was named the head of the action subcommittee tasked with defending the Corellian Trade Spine, but his efforts proved worthless in the face of an all-out assault led by General Grievous. Amid public and political outcry, Senator Farr resigned as the head of the subcommittee. However, Senator Farr was blamed - along with Senator Ronet Coorr - for the loss of the planet Duro and its shipyards to the Separatist forces under General Grievous, during the height of the Clone Wars. Investigation by the Senate Bureau of Intelligence discovered that warships had been dispatched from Iseno to protect Duro, but had been rerouted to protect Rodia instead. Initial thoughts were that the rerouting was a mistake, but the investigation clearly pointed to Senator Farr's role in trying to protect his homeworld. Senator Coor was forced to resign amidst the scandal, tendering his resignation and returning to Iseno in shame.
