Legend

this woman served as a Senator to the New Republic, representing her homeworld of Vannix for nearly twenty years when the Yuuzhan Vong first invaded the galaxy. Senator Gadan barely escaped from Coruscant when the alien invaders captured the planet, and made a swift return to Vannix. Shortly afterward, she met Leia Organa Solo on Vannix, breaking the news that Presider Sakins had fled the capital. Senator Gadan was left in command of the government, opposing Admiral Apelben Werl in taking command of the planet, with a vote pending in the coming days. Unfortunately for Leia, Senator Gadan was on record as favoring a path of appeasement toward the Yuuzhan Vong. When she learned that Leia had negotiated a deal with Admiral Werl to help win the election, Senator Addath boldly offered a wealth of naval resources to Leia in return for help with the election. Leia balked, since the naval resources were under the control of Admiral Werl. Addath tried to convinced her otherwise, but Leia revealed that Fasald Ghem had been recording their entire exchange. Senator Gadan, suddenly on public record as bribing Leia in order to win the election and capitulate with the Yuuzhan Vong, fled the planet.
