Pultimo

"The Sith no longer posed a threat to the Republic, but the Supreme Chancellor was unsatisfied."

- Jedi Master Gnost-Dural

Pultimo was the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic during the time of the Great Hyperspace War, a conflict between Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow and the Republic. Following the Second Battle of Korriban in 5,000 BBY, which saw the defeat of Sadow's Empire, Pultimo ordered a Republic invasion of Sith-controlled space in order to search for and destroy any Sith bastions and artifacts. The resulting purge of the Sith civilization nearly saw the extinction of the Sith species.

Biography
Pultimo was a politician who eventually rose to the office of the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic around the time of the Great Hyperspace War, which was a conflict between the Sith Empire of Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow and the Republic. After Sadow's Empire was defeated by forces under Empress Teta above the Sith homeworld Korriban, Pultimo dispatched Jedi and Republic forces to the Sith worlds in order to ensure there was no remnants of Sadow's Empire. The resulting purge drove the Sith species nearly to extinction.

Pultimo's role in the Great Hypserspace War would be reflected on by the Kel Dor Jedi archivist Gnost-Dural in a holodocumentary for the Jedi Archives, during the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and a resurgent Sith Empire led by Emperor Vitiate, a contemporary of Naga Sadow's who constructed his own Sith Empire on Dromund Kaas.

Personality and traits
Although the Sith Empire was defeated in the Second Battle of Korriban, Pultimo was not satisfied with the Republic's victory, believing it was necessary for the Sith civilization to be eradicated to ensure that they posed no threat to the Republic.
