Udat 'Pau

Udat 'Pau was the aristocratic government of Utapau from the planet's settlement by Humans (who would eventually evolve into the Pau'an peoples) until 49 BBY, and from 5 ABY.

History
In 49 BBY, the forces of Udat 'Pau invaded a neighboring Human system, prompting an occupation of the Utapau system and a forced reform of Udat 'Pau into a democratic government called Ohet 'Pau. The Basic name of the planet Utapau also developed from the name of this aristocracy. The ruler of Utapau held the title Uda, meaning "high king", and governors of individual cities used the title Ud, or "prince". The title Ud carried on past the government's reform among nobles and descendants of the aristocracy, including Ud Tion Medon. The elected prime minister of Utapau during the Ohet 'Pau era used the title Ohe, meaning "chosen".

Many years later during the Imperial era (and following the breakdown of Ohei 'Pau into an Imperial puppet state called Yr Mit Pau'a, or "The Pau'an Empire", led by a Human Moff who held the local title Mih, or "emperor"), a resistance movement of the same name sprung up. Like the warriors of the true Udat 'Pau, these resistance fighters wielded vibro-spears and shields made of imported bronzium. Following the signing of the Galactic Concordance in 5 ABY, the Utapau system peacefully left the Galactic Empire and joined the New Republic before restoring Udat 'Pau as the system's official government.
