Legend

a noted patron of the arts, this man served as one of Coruscant's Ministers of Ingress during the height of the Clone Wars, struggling to keep Coruscant safe from Separatist terrorists while maintaining the planet's appearance as open to the galaxy. A loyal member of the Old Republic since the Battle of Naboo, Praji was forced to make some difficult decisions in order to keep Coruscant safe, including the virtual shutdown of all immigration during the early months of the Clone Wars. This earned him a series of threats and accusations from all sides, including the Refugee Relief Movement's claim that he was little more than a wealthy bureaucrat who thought he could decide the fate of billions. His position was made all the more difficult when COMPOR demanded that he deport any being who homeworld had sided with the Separatists. After a number of assassination attempts failed, Praji was forced to hire a bodyguard for protection.
