Chi Cho

"I have led our people since before you were born. I've seen a hundred planets rise and fall through force of arms. If it's not the Separatists out there, then it is an aggressive and malevolent enemy nonetheless, and I will not let whoever it is jeopardize the security of the people of Pantora."

- Chi Cho to Riyo Chuchi

Chi Cho was the Chairman of the Pantoran Assembly during the Clone Wars. Though a brave warrior, ready and willing to fight and die for his homeworld, he was quite stubborn and unwilling to seek peaceful solutions to diplomatic issues, preferring brute force. Cho, along with Senator Riyo Chuchi embarked on a mission.

The mission, led by Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, was to intercept Separatist forces staging an invasion on Pantora. Orchestrating the attack on Orto Plutonia, located in the Pantora system, Cho and the Jedi found an abandoned Separatist base on the planet but were convinced that there were droids around and that they could attack the party at any moment. Cho soon found out that Talz, a species which inhabited Orto Plutonia, were responsible for the attack and could be a threat to the Pantorans.

Senator Chuchi wasn't responding well to Cho's actions, when he decided to go to war with the Talz and free the planet for just Pantorans. Kenobi and Skywalker, who thought Cho was walking into a trap, gave the Pantoran chairman Clone Captain Rex, and his squad to help Cho and the Pantoran warriors. However, Cho was heavily outnumbered and one of the Talz threw a spear in Cho's back and mortally wounded him, leading to his death.

He was succeeded as Chairman by Papanoida.
