Legend

this woman was the Senator from the planet Belasco, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. She had planned to retire after trying to form a coalition of support to halt the activities of the Tech Raiders, but she was forced to announce it earlier when Fligh stole her datapad. He obtained it one day when Uta put it down while eating the Senate commissary, but she chose not to report the theft in order to ensure the success of her coalition. Shortly after Fligh's death, it was revealed that Senator S'orn's son, Ren, was Force-sensitive, and that she had forbade his attending of the Jedi Temple's training. Ren fled Belasco, and remained separated from him mother for years, despite her efforts to have the Jedi Knights bring him home. Her decision to retire came on the heels of Ren's death on Simpla-12, which Senator S'orn claimed had occupied her mind to the point that she could no longer concentrate. She returned to Belasco and remained something of a recluse, only coming out of her dwelling to help tend to the children who were made ill by the bacterial infection which swept the planet every seven years. It was later revealed that Senator S'orn had, in fact, been helping Jenna Zan Arbor propogate her studies of the Force but infecting innocent worlds with bio-engineered viruses, then "rescuing" them with expensive treatments. Senator S'orn had been falsifying Senate records to indicate support for Arbor Industries, and stored the original records on her datapad for use in blackmail in an emergency. Uta S'orn admitted to her part in Zan Arbor's plans, and was exiled on a penal colony with Zan Arbor for the rest of her life.
