N. Papanoida (Spenpiano)

Baron N. Papanoida was a Pantoran baron living on Coruscant during the final decades of the Galactic Republic. He succeeded Chi Cho as the Chairman of the Pantoran Assembly during the Clone Wars.

Clone Wars
During the time of the Clone Wars, Papanoida made frequent visits to the Galaxies Opera House; his love of the performing arts was one of the few aspects of his life Papanoida did not keep hidden. Papanoida was present at a performance of Squid Lake following the Battle of Coruscant, which Supreme Chancellor Palpatine also attended. Papanoida was an outspoken critic of Palpatine, though he did not concern himself with any overt political actions against the Chancellor, such as the growing Delegation of 2000. He and his daughter joined the Delegation.

He served as an intelligence agent, though there was some question as to the Baron's true allegiance—it was rumored that he was, in fact, a double agent, loyal only to himself. This may have explained why he informed the Jedi Council that there was no Separatist presence on Utapau: a claim Jedi Master Ben Kenobi later proved false when he discovered the headquarters of General Grievous in Pau City.

Thanks to his discretion towards his opposition of Palpatine, N. Papanoida was able to retain his standing as the Republic transitioned into the Galactic Empire.

Arrest and Death
Just when Palpatine announced the new order of the Galactic Empire, Baron noticed that several senators from the Delegation were been arrested, and decided to help his daughter escape. He managed to get her out of Corusant before he is surrounded by shock troopers.

He was taken to the prison along with the other senators when Vader was been constructed as a cyborg. Just when he was explaining to the senators about the treason that Palpatine committed, the Darth Vader appears to all the senators and kills them.

His death was reported to his daughter, Chi, leaving her the only one of the family alive. This was when she joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
