Wilhuff Tarkin (AU)

"Our cruisers are not detecting any signs of droids out in space, but our ground forces are being overwhelmed."

- Wilhuff Tarkin to Mace Windu

Governor Wilhuff Tarkin was a Republic officer, veteran, and allie to the Jedi Generals during the Clone Wars.

Clone Wars
In 17 BBY, Tarkin and his forces were to help out the troubled planet of Tatooine. Even though there was nothing dangerous in space, the planetary forces were overwhelmed by droid forces led by the Kubaz Garindan. Jedi Master Mace Windu was to help the Wookiee general Chewbacca and fellow officer and smuggler Han Solo. When Windu arrived, the planet was left in ruins after the long battle, but Tarkin promised to pay the citizens of Tatooine enough Republic credits to have a new town and to spend what's left on whatever they wanted.
