Biography
Vasp Vaspar served as the representative of the Taldot sector in the Imperial Senate during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Though a member of the Imperial government, he was a member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and served in its Civil Government as the Minister of Industry. This made him part of the Alliance Cabinet under the leadership of its Chief of State, Chancellor Mon Mothma.

However, when the Alliance learned of the Death Star, an Imperial superweapon capable of destroying entire planets, he did not believe that the Alliance could be successful in an attack against the battle station.
