Chi Eekway Papanoida

Chi Eekway Papanoida was a female Pantoran senator of the planet Wroona, and later part of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. She was the daughter of Baron N. Papanoida. She is also the mother of Owen Papanoida.

Final Days of the Old Republic
Eekway was a member of the inner circle of loyalists that advised Chancellor Palpatine during the trying times of war and she became incrementally concerned with the Chancellor's increasing emergency powers. She was among the senators who were determined to preserve democracy. She had control of some unaligned trader guilds, a fact that was unusual for such a young senator. She was very spiritual, visible in her clothing and her great levels of empathy. Eekway did contact Papanoida at the Galaxies Opera House during the performance of Squid Lake to receive important information for the Loyalists. She was accompanied by her friend and advisor Terr Taneel, who was actually keeping a close eye on Eekway; Taneel secretly harbored fears Eekway had ambitions to politically outshine her.

Joining the Alliance
After Palpatine started the formation of the Galactic Empire, Chi managed to escape, and avoid been captured by the Imperials. She returned to her planet, and led all the people from Wroona to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

On 15 BBY, Chi marries an unnamed Pantoran officier, and gives birth to a son on 10 BBY.

Hoth System
On 3 ABY, Chi, along with a squad of (male and female) Pantorans, work in Echo base until the Empire discovered their location. Chi chose to stay, and defend the base from the Imperials. She was present when Leia helped coordinate the evacuation of the Rebel base from Hoth. She and her squad fought in the Battle of Hoth, and killed several number of storm troopers. Before the rebels were about to call the retreat, Chi was shot in the chest. Her body was carried by a few Pantoran soldiers during the retreat.
