Trial of Tycho Celchu

Celchu Trial
The Tycho Celchu Trial was a hightly publicized treason trial in 6 ABY

Background
Tycho had been sent to Coruscant in an undercover mission and been captured. He had been sent to Lusankya, Ysanne Isard's personal prison. He was transferred to another prison and escaped. Because so many other prisoners who had come out of Lusankya had become Imperial agents, Tycho was immediately put under suspicion. During the Rogue Squadron infiltration of Coruscant Tycho was considered too untrustworthy to acompany the squadron, but he came along as backup under the orders of Wedge Antilles. The rest of the military was unaware of his departure and he was assumed dead after the destruction of the Rogue's base by Warlord Zsinj. In truth he was with the squadron's protocol droid on Coruscant. He managed to help the Rogues escape to his secret base. He loaned his Z-95 Headhunter to Corran Horn, who had previously accused Tycho of meeting with Imperial agent Kirtan Loor, so he could fly cover for other Rogues during the attempt to take down Coruscant's shields. During the battle, control of the fighter was mysteriously taken from Corran, and he crashed into a building.

Charges
Tycho Celchu was accused of the murder of Corran Horn and treason to the New Republic. Because he had the codes to Corran's fighter, people blamed him for the crash. Corran's threat to uncover the traitor in Rogue Squadron shortly before his death and his belief that he had seen Tycho meeting with Loor gave Celchu a motive. Along with that, a sum of fifteen million credits belonging to Captain Celchu was discovered spread across six bank accounts. Most people agreed that it looked like a frame up, but the New Republic was unwilling to take that chance.

Publicity
Because of the humans' immunity to the Krytos Virus, anti-human hatred was growing among the alien population. This trial was a means to show that the New Republic could be as hard on humans as the Empire was on aliens.

The fact that Corran Horn was being hailed as a heroic martyr and that Tycho was accused of being his heartless murderer was enough to
