Legend

this Rodian magistrate was known more for his bullying nature than for his skills as a lawyer. Short in stature, even for a Rodian, Judge Keedo started carving a niche for himself on a backwater world in the Outer Rim Territories. He grew up on the planet knowing that bigger things were in store for him, if only he could reach out and grab them. To this end, Keedo appointed himself magistrate of his settlement and began to dole out rulings and punishments during the early years of the New Order. He quickly the judge, jury, and executioner of the settlement, and his rulings were exceptionally harsh. This helped expand his own power by keeping the locals in constant fear of him, amd eventually helped him gain control over a neighboring settlement. Keedo maintained an inner circle of guards and officers who made regular patrols through the populace, searching for any hint of disrespect for the Judge.
