Esu Rotsino was a female politician who served within the Galactic Senate of the Galactic Republic as senator for her homeworld, the agriworld Abrion Major, prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars against the Separatist Alliance. Following the war's beginning, Rotsino directed Abrion Major and the other worlds of the Abrion sector in its secession from the Republic to the Confederacy, as a result of inequitable trade and stifling bureaucracy.[1]
With their defection, Rotsino continued to serve as senator for the sector in the Separatist Senate. Furthermore, the senator's directed secession of the Abrion sector allowed the Confederacy to utilize its supply of foodstuffs in order to convince starving star systems into joining them.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Esu Rotsino was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in Rise of the Separatists, a 2019 supplement to Fantasy Flight Games' series of Star Wars Roleplaying products.[1] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, Esu Rotsino was introduced in the HoloNet News article "HoloNet News Vol. 531 52,"[2] authored by Pablo Hidalgo and Paul Ens[3] and published on April 18, 2002.[4] The character's name is a tuckerization of Sue Rostoni, the executive editor at Lucas Licensing at the time.[5]
