B'Rhea (né B'Rhea Devictin) was an Eriadu businessman and politician, serving as governor-general of Eriadu during the Seswenna Security Crisis.

Biography
B'Rhea was nominated by Avar Zranik, the head of Eriadu Interstellar Enterprises in 710 BBY to be on the ballot as governor-general of Eriadu. He quickly gained support of the wealthy politicos and businessmen on Eriadu. Even though B'Rhea's views on species and Republic relations were controversial among many Eriaduans, he was easily elected in 709 BBY, having been strongly supported by the corrupt political machines. B'Rhea's opponents claimed the vote was rigged, but nothing was ever proven. His tenure was deemed to be for life during the same election, the erstwhile referendum also barely passing.

In 705 BBY, B'Rhea consolidated the police forces on Eriadu and forced a treaty with the Senate that gave Eriadu jurisdiction on interstellar incidents that took place on the planet itself. He used the police force to suppress his opposition and take control over media outlets. B'Rhea personally killed his foremost political opponents&mdash;including the woman who ran against him four years earlier. As far as media, only HoloNet News remained independent on the planet, but the stories that were negative for B'Rhea were repressed within the sector.

During the Seswenna Security Crisis, B'Rhea was a vocal critic of the Republic and of the Jedi. He openly pushed for a secession referendum in a barrage of political speeches and appearances. He was viewed as an enemy of the Republic by Anwis Eddicus when the crisis exploded across the galaxy.
