Chi Cho/Legends

"I have led our people since before you were born. I've seen a hundred planets rise and fall through force of arms. If it's not the Separatists out there, then it is an aggressive and malevolent enemy nonetheless, and I will not let whoever it is jeopardize the security of the people of Pantora."

- Chi Cho

Chairman Chi Cho was the Pantoran Chairman of the Pantoran Assembly during the Clone Wars.

Biography
Chairman Chi Cho was democratically elected on Pantora to be the leader of Pantora. He was a power-hungry individual who wished to conquer any and all systems around Pantora. Cho went out scouts prior to and during the Clone Wars to the moon of Orto Plutonia to see if the moon was inhabited: if not, it was Pantoran property.

Following the discommunication with Clone troopers based on Orto Plutonia, Cho accompanied Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Riyo Chuchi and Clone Captain Rex to Orto Plutonia. There he immediately blamed the massacre of their clone troops on the Separatists. Chairman Cho was surprised to discover a tribe of fearful Talz inhabiting the moon. Chi Cho soon declared war on the tribe, and was later injured by a Talz spear. Cho died of these wounds shortly after, but not before delivering his last request to Senator Chuchi: to destroy the Talz people. Chuchi was unable to do so, and made peace with Chieftain Thi-Sen minutes later.
