Fedogoma Petonoida

Fedogoma Petonoida was a wealthy Pantoran male politician who was part of the Galactic Republic's Militarist Party.

History
Fedogoma was born on Pantora to the Petonoida family, many of whose members served as leading members of the Pantoran Guard. Fedogoma, however, took a different route and pursued politics throughout his youth. By 24 BBY, he was employed by the Republic's Judicial Department, which was in charge of defense and law enforcement on a federal scale. He also became a leading member of the Militarist Party, and like his peers, pushed for further funding of the Judicial Forces and the Sector Rangers. During his tenure as a Judicial Department administrator, he was involved in an investigation on a Trandoshan drug lord who was involved with the Black Sun, which eventually resulted in the drug lord's arrest and the seizure of his narcotics. In retaliation, the Black Sun deployed a Mandalorian assassin to kill or capture the politician. The assassin infiltrated Fedogoma's hotel room in the Senate District on Coruscant. Fedogoma's two guards were alerted to the assassin's presence, though were both killed after a brief firefight. Fedogoma attempted to defend himself with one of the guard's GL-77 blasters, though was wounded in the arm before being stunned and captured by the Mandalorian, who escaped in his ship with the captive following a pursuit with the Coruscant Security Force. Since the attack, Fedogoma essentially disappeared and would not be heard of for more than a month, when a Black Sun member sent the Galactic Senate a holographic message claiming that Fedogoma was executed after a long period of torture. A large investigation by the Judicial Intelligence Bureau (in cooperation with the Sector Rangers' Investigative Detachment) to discover the whereabouts of Fedogoma and the assassin went underway, however as dozens of other investigations were also ongoing, the case was eventually closed under the assumption that he was in fact dead. Years later during the Imperial era, however, Fedogoma reemerged, claiming to have escaped capture and returned to Pantora, not wanting to return to the Republic government in disappointment of their inability to save him. However following a claim that he was secretly funding a Pantoran resistance movement against the Galactic Empire, he was arrested by Imperial officials in 14 BBY and was believed to have still been imprisoned into the time of the Galactic Civil War.
