Defense Finance Committee

Bail Organa: "If you're intent on seeing this through, then there is someone you should speak with. But her cooperation may not be forthcoming. Halle Burtoni."

Omega: "Who's that?"

Riyo Chuchi: "Former senator for Kamino. She was part of the Defense Finance Committee before being removed from office."

―Organa, Omega, and Chuchi discuss Burtoni and the Defense Finance Committee^[1]

The Defense Finance Committee was a subcommittee within the Imperial Senate during the early Imperial Era. It was dedicated in diverting the funds necessary for the operation of the Kaminoan facilities housing the Galactic Empire's clone trooper army, and its members included Kaminoan Senator Halle Burtoni.^[1]

By 18 BBY,^[2] Vice Admiral Edmon Rampart began appropriating the Committee's funds to finance his secret Project War-Mantle; this was known to members of the Committee but they nevertheless failed to act against him. Eventually, the truth behind the conspiracy was uncovered by Senators Riyo Chuchi of Pantora and Bail Organa of Alderaan when the former questioned Burtoni on the matter. Burtoni's testimony of the matter before the Senate resulted in Rampart's arrest.^[1]

Notes and references[]

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 ^1.3 ^1.4 ^1.5 ^1.6 Star Wars: The Bad Batch — "Truth and Consequences"
↑ Per the reasoning here, the seventh and eighth episodes of The Bad Batch Season 2, "The Clone Conspiracy" and "Truth and Consequences," can be placed in 18 BBY. Therefore, all Season 2 episodes proceeding "The Clone Conspiracy" occur between 19 BBY, which features the end of The Bad Batch Season 1 according to Star Wars: Timelines, and 18 BBY. The Galactic Empire, the formation of which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY, sent Mayday's squad to Barton IV over a year prior to the events of the twelfth episode, "The Outpost." As it occurs over a year into the Imperial Era and is set shortly after the events of "Truth and Consequences," the events of "The Outpost" occur around 18 BBY. Following that logic, the ninth through eleventh episodes ("The Crossing" through "Metamorphosis") are also set around 18 BBY because they occur between the events of "Truth and Consequences" and "The Outpost." Finally, all season 2 episodes set after "The Outpost" occur shortly after its events, thereby placing those episodes around 18 BBY as well.
