Cal Omas

Cal Omas was an Alderaanian statesman in the New Republic.

Omas served with distinction in the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. After the establishment of the New Republic, he was elected to the Senate by the survivors of Alderaan.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Omas was a member of the Advisory Council. He sided with Luke Skywalker and supported the creation of a new Jedi Council. After the Fall of Coruscant, he stood as a candidate to replace Borsk Fey'lya, and after several votes, was elected Chief of State. After being elected, he worked with Skywalker to form the High Council. Omas worked towards ending the galaxy-wide war, the formation of the Galactic Alliance, and the cancellation of the Alpha Red program.

Cal Omas continued to serve as Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance for at least five years after the peace treaty between the Alliance and the Yuuzhan Vong. There were some concerns about his ability to serve as a peace time Chief of State, and the office had clearly taken a toll on him physically. His relationship with the Jedi was also not what it used to be. Though he realized the advantages of the Jedi, he considered them servants of the Galactic Alliance just as much as himself. The Killik crisis also strained relations, with Omas feeling that the Jedi had sided with the Killiks over the Galactic Alliance. He even attempted to neutralize the order by appointing Corran Horn interim leader while Skywalker was out of contact on Woteba.
