Biography[]
Yeb Yeb Adem'thorn was a Swokes Swokes senator in the Galactic Senate around 32 BBY, who represented the world of Makem Te. He was able to move from his homeworld to Coruscant, where he resided in a lavish and luxurious home. Some cited the move as evidence of Adem'thorn's corruption. He opposed Senate Resolution BR-0371, which called for the taxation of trade routes. The resolution was later passed, and the Trade Federation protested the move by blockading the peaceful world of Naboo.
Adem'thorn was joined by two other Swokes Swokes when Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum called for a special session of the Senate, to discuss the blockade of Naboo. Naboo's representative senator, Palpatine, introduced his planet's ruler, Queen Amidala, who went on to claim that Naboo had been invaded by the Trade Federation.
Valorum, after conferring with Vice Chairman Mas Amedda, asked Amidala if she would be willing to allow a commission to be sent, but the queen was not satisfied or pleased in the slightest. She, in response, called for a Vote of No Confidence in Valorum. Soon, calls for an immediate vote rang around the Grand Convocation Chamber, and Adem'thorn, in addition to his two companions, joined in. Adem'thorn later supported the Vote of No Confidence, which resulted in the end of Valorum's career, and Palpatine's succession as Supreme Chancellor.
In 20 BBY, Yeb Yeb was seen where he boarded a cruiser with several senators, aides, and bureaucrats to join with Senator Padmé Amidala to arrange a secret meeting on Naboo. He was perished when the cruiser exploded, killing everyone onboard. The person who was responsible was Senator Herbin, who joined with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and made a deal with Nute Gunray to eliminate Amidala.
