High Council (Talz)

"We've arranged a meeting between their High Council and you and the Senator."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Chairman Chi Cho

The High Council was the governing council of the Talz village on the planet of Orto Plutonia headed by the "Son of Suns" chieftain Thi-Sen. Following a skirmish on Orto Plutonia, Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, the 501st Legion, and a delegation from the nearby moon of Pantora which included Chairman Chi Cho and Senator Riyo Chuchi were dispatched by the Galactic Republic to investigate the incident. After Kenobi and Skywalker managed to locate the Talz village, they were able to set up a meeting between the High Council and the Pantoran delegation.

Chairman Cho remained steadfast that the Talz were savages, and that Orto Plutonia belonged to Pantora, and thus was not willing to negotiate peace. The following exchange resulted in declarations of war, and a battle soon erupted between Talz warriors and Clone cold assault troopers. By the end of the conflict, Chairman Cho died of his wounds, and Senator Chuchi brokered peace after the Speaker of the Assembly had called Cho's actions out of order.
