Orn Free Taa was a Twi'lek Senator representing the planet Ryloth in the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars. He was known for his long-standing corruption that was matched only by his legendary appetite.
Biography[]
Battle of Ryloth[]
Orn Free Taa became worried when his homeplanet, Ryloth, was taken over by Separatists. He pleaded for help from the king of a neutral planet, King Katuunko of Toydaria. Lott Dod was against his plea, but the king delivered supplies to the planet but remained neutral (he joined the Republicafterward). After the efforts of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu, he teamed up with his rival, Cham Syndulla, but only reluctantly after Mace Windu convinces him. They defeated the Separatists, took over the capital city, Lessu, vowed to take away the clone troopers, and Cham promised not to take power away. He attended the parade after the Techno Union leader, Wat Tambor, was captured.
Skirmish aboard the Coronet[]
Duchess Satine Kryze asked him to accompany her on her ship, the Coronet. He was also asked to help her with her case in the Galactic Senate. He was on the ship when the assassination attempts on the Duchess's life by Death Watch. He usually had a big appetite, but he wasn't so hungry when the assassination droids started attacking.
Hostage Crisis[]
He was with Chancellor Palpatine when a bounty hunter, Cad Bane, took control of the Senate Building and trapped them inside. The Senator went to release Ziro the Hutt, and the bounty hunter left afterward.
