Tikkes/Legends

Tikkes was a Quarren Senator from Dac. He was one of the senators who supported Finis Valorum's sanctions against the Yinchorri.

He had a good relationship with fellow Senator and Confederacy of Independent Systems member/leader Po Nudo.

He was a very wanted bounty, as many of the Galaxy's best bounty hunters, such as Jango Fett, Zam Wesell, and Bossk, tried to capture or assassinate him.

He was once meet and saved Adi Gallia, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and A'Sharad Hett from being stuck in space. He was on his way to see the Dark Woman's former sacnuary to buy for the Republic. What Tikkes didn't know that he was being targeted by Aurra Sing. He feels Jedi are important to the Republic. He survived the attempted by Aurra Sing and saw A'Sharad Hett defeat her as well. Shortly before the start of the Clone Wars, Tikkes was implicated as being invovled in a slaving ring, along with senators Bufus Ritsomas, Danry Ledwellow, and Wuja Wojaine. Tikkes was placed under house arrest, and a week later, escaped. It was later learned that he had joined the Separatist movement.



His siding with the Separatists prompted a civil war on his homeworld. He was replaced in the Senate by the Loyalist Tundra Dowmeia, a fellow Quarren who later represented the world jointly with Meena Tills. Soon, he became part of the Separatist Council.

It was presumed that Tikkes was killed along with the rest of the Separatist Council by Darth Vader on Mustafar.

Behind the scenes
In the rough draft of the Attack of the Clones script, Tikkes was named Tessek. As that was the version used by James Luceno for the Episode II references he put into Cloak of Deception, the Tessek that appears in that book is presumably now Tikkes.
