Unrest on Cerea (1)
Basic info
First appearance: Star Wars Republic 00 : Prelude to Rebellion
Relations: Cerea
Summary
Shortly before the blockade of Naboo, the Galactic Republic dispatched several diplomats to convince Cerea to join their galactic government. The Republic was interested in modernizing the planet, particularly the way Cereans handled their plentiful natural resources. Some diplomats, such as Silais, unsuccessfully attempted to convince the Cerean Council of Elders. Others, such as the charismatic Bron, sought to appeal to Cerea's younger generations. Through huge political rallies, he gathered a large amount of supporters with fiery speeches that condemned Cerea's "antique" traditions as the laughing stock of the galaxy. Bron was not above employing illegal means to raise support for his pro-tech movement; his campaign was in part financed by the gangster Jabba the Hutt, who traded technology such as swoops for malium. Bron was also aligned with Dorr-Femi-Bonmi, a member of the Council of Elders who acted as the pro-tech movement's spy in the government's affairs, while profiting from their trading operations. After Ki-Adi-Mundi and his daughter, Sylvn, exposed the connection to Jabba, Bron and his movement died down, though Elder Nar-Somo-Dali suspected the lack of activity was only temporary.
