Wrede, Lanus
this man, at one time, represented his homeworld of Sermeria in the Old Republic Senate, before he committed suicide. Senator Wrede had made several public statements on the business practices of the Baktoid Armor Workshop, claiming that the corporation was secretly building huge armies of battle droids on remote worlds, away from the prying eyes of the Old Republic. His claims revolved around the increased purchase of raw materials by Baktoid, without a substantial increase in the production of goods for sale. Baktoid claimed that the purchase of rawmats was an investment toward future diversification, and Senator Wrede's accusations were refuted by many business analyst. A three-month investigation revealed no obvious wrong-doings. With his political career in shambles, Senator Wrede killed himself.
