Isedwa Chuwant

Edit

"The review should not be cause for alarm."
―Isdedwa Chuwant[1]

Isedwa Chuwant was an Abednedo Senator who represented the planet Abednedo in the Galactic Senate during the last decades of the High Republic Era. In 132 BBY, Chuwant gave Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh an update on the Senate, informing her that Senator Rayencourt's support among their peers was growing and that he was preparing an external review of the Jedi Order. After a short discussion with Chuwant, Rwoh excused herself to speak with Padawan Mog Adana. The Senator later participated in a tribunal where Rwoh deceived Supreme Chancellor Drellik and the tribunal's senators, framing Jedi Master Sol for the crimes of the Force-sensitive assassin Mae Aniseya.

Biography[]

"This is the case of an ambitious senator grasping for power."
―Isdedwa Chuwant[1]

Isedwa Chuwant[2] was an Abednedo politician who served as a Senator[1] of the planet[4] Abednedo[2] in the Galactic Republic's senate during the High Republic Era.[1] In 132 BBY,[5] Chuwant gave the Mirialan Jedi Master[1] Vernestra Rwoh[6] an update on the current situation in the Senate, telling [1] her[6] that Senator Rayencourt was gaining support and preparing an external review of the Jedi Order for a vote by the Senate. Chuwant also added that their fellow senators from the Expansion Region would vote in support of the review.[1]

The Abednedo assured Rwoh that she should not be alarmed by the review despite her worries, as the Order had a tradition of transparency with the Senate and that Rayencourt was merely an ambitious senator grasping for power. Their conversation was interrupted by[1] Padawan Mog Adana[7] who needed to speak with Rwoh. The Jedi Master thanked Chuwant for their update and excused herself, turning off the holoprojector.[1]

VernestraSenateTribunal-TheAcolyte

Vernestra Rwoh deceived the Senate tribunal about the truth behind the murders.

Later, Rwoh was summoned in front of a Senate tribunal led by Supreme Chancellor Drellik, which Chuwant was a part of. Rwoh reported to the tribunal that a Jedi Master named Sol had gone rogue, killing the other three Jedi who participated in a mission to the planet Brendok sixteen years earlier in order to cover up the four's involvement in destroying a Force cult. The Jedi Master deceived the tribunal however, covering up the fact that[3] the Jedi were actually murdered by the Force-sensitive assassin[8][9] Mae Aniseya.[10] Rayencourt insisted that in light of the events an external review of the Order must begin immediately, but Drellik asked Rwoh what became of Sol. She explained to the Tarsunt Chancellor that he was found dead on Brendok, and speculated that he killed himself, while in reality he was killed by his former Padawan Osha Aniseya.[3]
