Fang Zar/Legends

A senator of Sern Prime, Fang Zar (&mdash;19 BBY) was very outspoken and opposed Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's methods and increasing emergency powers. Near the end of the Clone Wars, he advocated the ceding of Outer Rim worlds to the Separatists in return for a cessation of hostilities.

Biography
He was selected by Mon Mothma and Bail Organa to take part in their quiet resistance and he even signed the Petition of 2,000, a formal declaration of complaint against Palpatine's policies, and a request to relinquish emergency powers back to the Senate and do away with a newly installed system of regional governors. He was also one of the Senators to present the petition to the Chancellor.

Zar was known to be very close to the senator from Corellia, Garm Bel Iblis, and he served unofficially as Bel Iblis' eyes and ears at the many resistance meetings the Corellian was unable to attend. The two held corresponding views on sectorial autonomy and decentralized government in the Republic.

When Palpatine assumed the title of Emperor and declared the Jedi enemies of the Republic, he also went after several members of the Delegation of 2,000. Fang Zar was arrested and detained by the newly formed Imperial Security Bureau. Following his release, he fled Coruscant, and was granted temporary political asylum on Alderaan by Organa.

It was on Alderaan that he was later killed by Darth Vader, while trying to return to Sern Prime.
