Gume Saam/Legends

Gume Saam was an Ishi Tib Senator of the Galactic Republic who represented Tibrin from between 22 BBY and 19 BBY during the Clone Wars. He was also a member of the group opposing Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's growing power. During the war, he was affiliated with the Techno Union and swayed toward the interests of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

Biography
In 22 BBY, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis at the onset of the Clone Wars, Senator Gume Saam overlooked the deployment of clone troopers leaving the planet Coruscant prepared for combat.

As a senator, Gume Saam tried to push through a bill that would deregulate the banks. It would allow the InterGalactic Banking Clan to open new lines of credit, without the approval of the entire Galactic Senate. During the vote for the bill, the Confederate General Grievous launched an attack on a prominent Coruscant power generator. The attack was confirmed as a Separatist attack, and Saam was able to pass the bill.

Behind the scenes
In his appearance in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series, Saam was voiced by Phil LaMarr, who also voices Senators Bail Prestor Organa and Orn Free Taa.
