Vy Hu'ro (LAASWS)

Vy Hu'ro was an influential Bothan and leader of the Bothan Council at the beginning of the Mezzilenic War.

Biography
Born into a politically influential family on Bothawui, Hu'ro succeeded his father as head of the Hu'ro clan and became a central figure in Bothan politics. After becoming head of the council in 112 BBY, Hu'ro allied himself with the Supreme Chancellor Signet Mezzileen, who had taken over complete control of the Republic. However when the Jedi Coalition made war on Mezzileen ten years later, Hu'ro found his position under threat due to his close ties with Mezzileen and he used the Republic garrison on Bothawui to remain in power.

As war erupted across the galaxy, the radical Bothan Arf Fey'lya returned to Bothan Space and began gathering allies against Hu'ro particularly his chief rival Lar Fey'lya, Arf's uncle. However, Lar's son Bard was determined that Arf wouldn't replace him as his father's heir and had allied with Hu'ro in the hope that he would support his claim to the Fey'lya clan. With Bard's help two seperate attempts were made on Arf's life, but both failed, although Lar was killed during the second attempt. However Bard was captured and revealed all to Arf who, along with his two Jedi bodyguards confronted Hu'ro infront of the whole Council. When the other Bothans learned of Hu'ro's actions he was thrown off the Council, but he was not beaten yet.

Summoning his allies to help him, Hu'ro ordered the deaths of the entire Bothan Council but Arf and the Jedi were able to prevent this and they escaped with the rebel Councillors and fled to the Fey'lya stronghold of Kothlis. Hu'ro ordered an attack on the planet but it was repelled when Coalition forces arrived to aid the rebel Bothans. Faced with an overwhelming force, Hu'ro fled Bothawui with his entourage and fled to Republic space and swore that he would make his enemies pay for overthrowing him.
