Viqi Shesh

Viqi Shesh was a powerful Senator representing the planetary system of Kuat during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, and an infamous traitor to the New Republic. The Shesh family had been heavily involved with Kuat of Kuat, and as his operations collapsed, the Shesh's were forced to look elsewhere for power, with Viqi representing Kuat in the New Republic Senate.

It came apparent to Viqi months into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, that the New Republic would ultimately fail in their attempts to stop the Yuuzhan Vong, so whilst she praised the actions of the Jedi in the Senate - getting herself appointed to the New Republic Advisory Council and placing herself at the head of SELCORE - she funneled treasonous information to the Yuuzhan Vong and Peace Brigade - including the location of Yuuzhan Vong spy/defector Elan, and alerting Nas Choka of the trap at Corellia.

Shesh was also responsible for the invasion of Duro by the Yuuzhan Vong, and her agents attacked Leia Organa Solo, the administrator of SELCORE activites on Duro, while she was recovering from wounds inflicted by Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Shesh was forced to meet the Senate's Corruption Body, and suspended from the Senate.

However that was not the end for Senator Shesh, she clawed her way back into the New Republic Military Oversight Committee, hoping to get herself elected to Chief of State by assasinating Chief Borsk Fey'lya - but Leia Organa Solo was onto her.

When the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Coruscant in 27 ABY, Shesh was caught on camera trying to kidnap Jedi baby Ben Skywalker and killing Leia's Noghri bodyguard, and declared a traitor to the Republic. Shesh was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, but her political wit kept her alive under the Warmaster commissioned her to search for the Jedi on Coruscant...

Viqi nearly escaped onboard transport the Ugly Truth, but when surrounded by the likes of Mara Jade Skywalker, Tahiri, Luke Skywalker and Wraith Squadron, as well as Yuuzhan Vong warrior Denua Ku, she declared Jedi couldn't kil her, Vong couldn't kill her - only one person could kill Viqi Shesh.

And with that, Shesh plummeted to her death between Coruscant's starscrapers.
