Biography
In 3,966 BBY Jervo used his industry's money to convince the Galactic Republic to give Taris a seat in the Galactic Senate.

Shortly before the Padawan Massacre of Taris, Jervo complained to Senator Gorravus of Taris about the company's growing difficulties, in particular issues with the Black Vulkars and small-timers in the Upper City. Jervo threatened the senator with the possibility of Lhosan leaving Taris completely unless it was allowed a tax break. Just then, Zayne Carrick came falling down from the sky. However, with the news of the Massacre, Lhosan Industries did in fact pull out, due to what they saw as a security risk.

Gorravus followed Jervo all the way to Coruscant after the riots on Taris began. But since they were getting nowhere in their arguments, Gorravus threatened to expose the bribes but never got the chance as the Mandalorians invaded Taris and Gorravus became its resistance leader.

The Chancellor became suspicious of how Taris entered the Republic so easily and send Jedi Master Raana Tey to find Gorravus. Fearful of exposition, Jervo hired Marn Hierogryph, who was framed along with Carrick, to find Gorravus, supposedly to talk with him, and promised to lift the charges and most of the bounties on them. He also hired the Moomo Brothers to assist him but gave them instruction to kill Gorravus and a briefcase that acted a communication device to get through even jamming signals but it was a contingency bomb.

After arriving on Taris, Gryph contacted Jervo informing him that, "Minion" (Zayne) had arrived. When they got in contact with Gorravus, Jervo ordered Del Moomo to kill Gorravus but Tey saved him so Jervo activated the bomb in the case. Suddenly, it failed to work, as the blaster shot Shel Jelavan fired overloaded the circuits. Gorravus negotiated a deal with Jervo to use Lhosan resources to the front, such as his transmitter to beat jamming signals.
