Conflict
On 22 BBY, He was among the senators that opposed Palpatine's growing emergency powers. This brought him into conflict with many people on Kuat, who benefited from increased production in Kuat's shipyards during the Clone Wars. His opposition to increased militarization led him to be twice nearly recalled from office by Onara Kuat and the Kuati electorate.

He had good ties with the Jedi and greatly respected their Order, believing the nascent rebellion being led by Mon Mothma and Bail Prestor Organa needed the support of the Jedi in order to succeed. Danu, following Mothma and Organa's lead, became part of the Delegation of 2000. He later attended Amidala's funeral when senators from Corusant were arrested and executed. He spent nearly a year in hiding when he returned to his home planet.

On 18 BBY, Danu returned to Corusant to act as an agent in order to find out what Palpatine's secret. He was later arrested when he Imperials caught him spying in the Senate building. he was taken to the prison where he meets with Darth Vader. Darth Vader interogated him, but Danu refused to answer his questions. Vader gave him the force-choke, and Danu was left dead in his cell.
