Biography

The Utai male Senin Vant was a pilot and mechanic who served as the air commodore of the Utapau Skyforce during the Clone Wars between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic. The Skyforce was responsible for the security of Utapau within the wider Tarabba sector, but was forced into hiding when the Separatist General Grievous successfully took control of the planet in order to use it as his new headquarters.

In the year 19 BBY, Vant was present on one of the landing platforms of Utapau's capital, Pau City, when Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi landed there in his Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor in order to start searching for Grievous. The Jedi was greeted by the city's Port Administrator Tion Medon, who ordered Vant and two other Utai to re-fuel the visitor's interceptor and informed Kenobi that Grievous and his forces were on the city's higher levels. The trio of Utai attended to the starship quickly, after which Kenobi had his astromech droid R4-G9 pilot the ship away, while he remained behind and confronted Grievous, starting the Battle of Utapau.
