Legend

this Gran was a native of the planet Malastare, and rose to become one of the planet's primary political forces. As the Ambassador of the Congress of Malastare, Aks Moe was eventually elected as his planet's Senator to the Old Republic, and proved to be a skillful politician. However, like many of the Senators of his day, Moe was nothing more than a politician, and worked strictly by the laws and protocols put in place by the Republic. It was Senator Moe who agreed to host the peace treaty negotations between the Lannik and the Red Iaro, and it was Moe who also promised that the Red Iaro would have the cooperation of the Malastare government during the negotiations. In addition to his ties to the Red Iaro terrorists, Aks Moe cultivated a relationship with the priest of the Ffib. To hide his role, Aks Moe went so far as to have the Jedi Knights who were serving as mediators assassinated, although the plan eventually failed. As the Old Republic rotted from within, Senators like Moe continued to demand that every item be put to a vote, and the Senate became bogged down in its own inefficiency. When Queen Amidala traveled to Coruscant to protest the Trade Federation's invasion of her homeworld of Naboo, Aks Moe was the first Senator to demand a commission be dispatched to Naboo to investigate the situation. In the decade following the Battle of Naboo, Aks Moe was one of the loudest supporters of the Military Creation Act. Unforutnately, Senator Moe was killed in an explosion while on the planet Aargau, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. The explosion was blamed on the Separatists, who discovered that Senator Moe was on Aargau to negotiate funding of the Republic's army with the Intergalactic Banking Clan. Aks Moe was acted by Mark Coulier and voiced by Marc Silk in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
