Legend

this man was the leader of the government of the planet Cartao, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A Lord by birth, Binalie did his best to remain neutral during the growing conflict between the Old Republic and the Separatists. Many of the people who lived on Cartao considered Binalie something of a blowhard, a man who was quick to support the common man with words, but rarely able to do so with actions. However, he boldly worked to ensure the safety of his people and his planet when the Clone Wars arrived on Cartao. He worked with the local Jedi Master, Jafer Torles, to assist Kinman Doriana in driving out the Separatist forces, only to see a Republic gunship crash into Spaarti Creations, utterly destroying the facility and many of the Cranscoc twillers who operated it. When he learned that the gunship had been under the command of the Jedi Knights - a bit of misinformation planted by Darth Sidious himself - Binalie dismissed Master Torles and set out to rebuilt what he could of his homeworld.
