Elegos A'Kla



"Perhaps our ignorance of each other's nature and ways is what makes it appear that we are falling into a black hole of conflict. I would enlighten you and learn from you."

- Elegos A'Kla to Shedao Shai

Elegos A'Kla (&mdash;25 ABY) was a Caamasi New Republic senator. He played a substantial role in the resolution of the Caamas dispute and the peace process initiated by Gilad Pellaeon that resulted in the Bastion Accords.

Biography
Prior to his role in the Senate, Elegos served as the Trustant of the Morymento Caamasi Remnant. During a pirate raid on his colony, he became caught up in a conflict between a pirate and Corran Horn, who was working undercover in the pirate organization in order to locate his wife Mirax. Corran saved Elegos's life, and in return Elegos masqueraded as Corran's manservant to protect his cover story for saving the Caamasi. Elegos was instrumental in aiding Corran on his path to become a Jedi and find his wife.

Elegos continued to aid the New Republic, helping Leia and her family during the Caamas Document crisis.

The Death of Elegos
In the early months of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, A'Kla attempted to negotiate with the Yuuzhan Vong to gain an understanding of their species and seek a peaceful resolution. He came to understand the Yuuzhan Vong and their ways, learning about how pain and death were central to the Yuuzhan Vong's life- the hard way. Shedao Shai often talked to Elegos, and they learned much from each other. However, to prove a point to Corran Horn, Shai slew A'kla, to show how to properly deal with the dead. Shai stated in a message to Horn that A'kla's eyes showed shock at his betrayal, but understanding at the necessity of his death. His skeleton was fitted with jewels and platinum coating, and was sent to Corran Horn, who had disrespectfully dealt with the remains of one of Shai's ancestors on Bimmiel.

Elegos was survived by his daughter, Releqy A'Kla.
