- Senators Deechi and Padmé Amidala, after the latter gives a speech supporting the discontinuation of clone trooper production

Mee Deechi was the male Umbaran Senator of Umbara in the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars.

Biography
"You shouldn't make speeches like that. It's unpatriotic."

- Mee Deechi referring to Senator Amidala's speech.

Hailing from the planet Umbara, Mee Deechi was a strong advocate in support of the Galactic Republic. This was especially the case when it advanced his riches and prestige. In Deechi's way of thinking, the Clone Wars were a crucial step to achieving true peace, and he would not back down from his position, even though it was a less popular stance in the Galactic Senate.

When Senator Onaconda Farr was murdered, Padmé Amidala and Bail Organa suspected that Deechi and Halle Burtoni were responsible, given that they were political opposition. The former denied any involvement and let slip that Farr had a meeting at the dock. Soon after Amidala and Organa go investigating and were attacked by an unseen person, the former suspected that Deechi set them up, only to return to him to see that he was stabbed in the chest in his own office.

Burtoni was blamed for Deechi's death, as she had the right motivations. However, it was revealed that Farr's pupil, Lolo Purs, had in fact committed the murders.

Behind the Scenes
Deechi was played by Gideon Emery, who played fellow Senator Lott Dod earlier in the season.

The Senator's name seems to be a reference to the Medici Family, who were once the rulers of Florence, Italy.
