"I declare this session open. The floor recognizes the representative from Ithor."
―Chancellor Palpatine, opening the floor for debate on hyperlane issue[1]

An Ithorian hailed from[1] the planet[2] Ithor and lived during the Republic Era.[1] By 28 BBY,[3] they represented their homeworld in the Galactic Republic's Galactic Senate.[1]

That year,[3] the Ithorians sought to make the map to a hyperspace route running through Lesser Plooriod Cluster public in a motion within the Galactic Senate, as they had used the route for a long time and mapped most of it. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine opened the Senate floor for debate, allowing a human senator and a Trade Federation delegate to argue with the Ithorian senator proposing the initiative. Senator Padmé Amidala voted in favor of the motion, musing that the Urce sector's inhabitants only held a claim to part of the route, while the Ithorians had been using the route long before the Trade Federation had separately mapped it. However, the motion ultimately failed.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Ithorian appeared in Queen's Shadow, a 2019 young-adult novel written by E. K. Johnston.[1]
