Tannon Praji

Tannon Praji was the First Minister of the Coruscant Ministry of Ingress. His office was responsible for imprisoning or deporting citizens of Coruscant who were suspected of treason. As the Separatist Crisis grew, his office began to keep a much keener eye on all individuals arriving on Coruscant, only granting entry to citizens proved loyal to the Republic.

Biography
Praji held the position for many years during Palpatine's time as Supreme Chancellor, however during the Clone Wars he was forced to be tougher on people, especially non-humans, landing on Coruscant. By the time Palpatine established a new Galactic Empire, almost all newcomers were denied access to the planet, and all individuals of species that where associated with the Separatists were deported. Praji did not necessarily agree with such extreme measures, but the newly formed Commission for the Preservation of the Republic gave him very little choice.

Palpatine held Praji in very high esteem; however Praji was not so popular with groups such as the Refugee Relief Movement, and was the target of many assassination attempts.

Only his occasional visits to the Galaxies Opera House allowed him to temporarily forget the stresses of his position.
