Orn Belden

Orn Belden (born 160 BBY) was a senator in the Bakuran Senate, a position he held since before the foundation of the Galactic Empire. The planetary sector Belden represented in the Senate contained the repulsorlift factory that was instrumental in the export industry that Bakura was chiefly known for.

By the time of the Imperial occupation of Bakura (1 ABY), he had become senior senator in the Imperial Bakuran Senate, despite the fact that he had two prosthetic hearts and required a voice amplifier to raise his voice. Of the handful of Bakuran senators who opposed the actions of the Imperial governor, Belden - described as being tall in terms of both height and courage - was the most vociferous.

In 97 BBY, he married Eppie Antruse; the couple were still married at the time of the Battle of Bakura (4 ABY).
