“Compromise is a virtue to be cultivated, not a weakness to be despised.”
Synopsis:
Ryloth was a planet in the Outer Rim that was the homeworld of the Twi'leks. It had vast deserts like the Jixuan desert in addition to its many forests. It was also home to many non-sentient species, many of which were deadly like the Lyleks and Gutkurrs. As the planet was far from the galactic core, slavery was common on Ryloth a fact that was both known and tolerated by the Republic despite. Orn Free Taa was a corpulent male Rutian Twi'lek who served as the senator of Ryloth during the early years of the New Republic. As the leader of the Rim faction, he was among the most senior members of the New Republic Senate. 1 Biography 1.1 Early life 1.2 New Republic Senator 1.3 Yuuzhan Vong War 1.3.1 Battle of Ryloth 1.3.2 Part of the Council of Neutral Systems 2 Personality and traits 3.
The battle for the Twi’lek homeworld of Ryloth rages as the Republic attempts to drive off the occupying droid army led by Separatist Leader, Wat Tambor. With his forces stretched thin, Mace Windu must convince Twi’lek freedom fighter, General Cham Syndulla, to help him save the capital city.
Analysis:
Cham Syndulla has every reason not to trust the Jedi, so-called peacekeepers, who have brought destruction and suffering to his planet with their costly war against the Separatists. Or perhaps, it’s the Separatists who have brought havoc to Ryloth, from a certain point of view.
No matter who’s to blame, his people have been caught in the crossfire and made to suffer. They’ve been used as living shields and left starving, their villages targeted and bombed in the night.
He doesn’t trust the Republic to act as their saviors. “Another armed occupation is not a free Ryloth,” he says ominously. “How long before I am fighting you, Master Jedi?”
But ultimately he has little recourse; he must choose a side and he chooses the lesser of two evils.
He and Senator Orn Free Taa, old political rivals, come to an understanding, a compromise that at least in words promises a future Ryloth free of clones and droid troops. And the Jedi and the Republic get the boots on the ground that they need to win this battle.

Intel:
- Cham Syndulla was originally envisioned as a devious character, working with the Separatists and lying to keep his people under occupation for his own personal benefit. Ultimately he was recast as the freedom fighter we now know.
