Biography
Elected to the senate in 22 ABY, Ehe Vattumswarth won by a landslide due to her promises to create jobs, lower taxes, and increase trade for Csilla. Unfortunately, due to a scandal by fellow senator Onaconda Farr, her plans came to a grinding halt. while there were those on Csilla who doubted in her abilities, they were a small, radical minority, and would have been of little concern to the upright senator, had it not been for the fact that one of her biggest opponents was a law enforcement/weapons manufacturer agency on Csilla, the Ry-Dek Chothune.

Assassination Attempts
A string of assassination attempts were made on her life.

The first was an attempt to murder her "accidentally on purpose". The plan was simple enough. Cause her large airspeeder to explode on a timer and leave no evidence behind. This plan flagged when the Jedi caught wind of it. They went to stop the senator, and caught her in time. Just as she was nearing the speeder on the landing platform, several Jedi managed to stop her from boarding and explain the situation. Moments later, the ship, which had docked on the side of the platform, exploded, killing all on board, and several innocents as its fiery hulk fell to the Coruscant underlevels.

The second and third were made to back each other up. The plan was to use a sniper to kill her when she emerged from her shuttle on Csilla. If that failed, a reporter would use a special camera to shoot a poison dart filled with slow-acting poison. When the Chiss filed off the ship onto the wintry landing platform of Csilla-mass, the capital, the sniper struck, but his aim was not true, and she survived. As the dignitary and her aid rushed inside, several reporters caught them just inside the massive building, where the reporter with the dart-camera took his shot. However, after the first assassination attempt had been investigated, Vattumswarth had beefed up security, learning a thing or two from fellow senator and good friend Padme Amidala. Therefore, her decoy was the one who sustained the dart, not her. Following the third attempt, she addressed the public, making herself even more of a target by making speeches slamming the assassin, mocking the Ry-Dek Chothune, saying that, while she could not prove it, she knew they were behind the attempts and would not rest until she had proven it.

The fourth attempt was made when she was on the balcony of her coruscant apartment. Her aide Dek Asunn was secretly working for the assassin, and was tasked with sliding a blade between the senator's ribs. Upon entering the room the Senator was on the balcony of, Asunn met another aide, Henteh. He slit her throat, then continued on to the balcony, getting right behind the senator. Thanks to her state-of-the-art espionage equippment, she could see behind her with a cyborg eye hidden behind her hair in the back. She turned around just in time to use a stun dart to paralyze Asunn before she died. She then contacted the Senate Guard, who came and apprehended the would-be assassin.

The fifth and final attemp was made on her life by a bigwig of Ry-Dek named Guthone Ashtamaa. He was equipped with a myriad of deadly gadgets. Ashtamaa would attempt to kill her at a Gala in the senate building, using his guise as a CEO of a fine pleasure yacht company. As he approached his target from the front, he stealthily slipped out a hold-out blaster. He took his shot, but seconds before the slow-travelling bolt would have hit her, she ignited her concealed lightsaber and deflected it. Ashtamaa quickly grabbed Senator Amidala and held her at gunpoint, intending to use her as insurance. Ehe tapped some secret buttons on her seemingly decorative ceremonial gauntlet and activated her two bodyguard droids. The hopped on their speeders and flew to the gala, using their lightsabers to kill Ashtamaa from behind. With the bigwig of the suspected corporation down, arrest were made, and the threat of Ry-Dek was neutralized.

Later Political Career
Ehe Vattumswarth was heralded as a hero of the republic for her quick thinking in saving Senator Amidala. She received an award from Supreme Chancellor Valorum, and went on to be re-elected to the senate three more times before abdicating. In this time, she passed three laws reducing taxes for Csilla and beyond, increased trade with Balmorra and Taris, and uncovered a hostile takeover by the Sith that would have ended the Republic for good. After retiring, she stayed in her estate on Csilla, but she was soon hired as a secret agent by the Republic to spy on the Sith. After countless missions, most small, with the exception of the Mission to Bizzaro, she died peacefully in her sleep at the ripe age of 101.
