Background: Riyo Chuchi was a female Pantoran politician who hailed from the Pantoran homeworld of Pantora—a moon in orbit of the icy wasteland planet, Orto Plutonia—and represented her people in the Galactic Senate of the Republic during the pan-galactic Clone Wars. During her term as senator, the Pantoran Assembly requested that the Grand Army of the Republic establish a base on Orto Plutonia to protect the moon of Pantora from possible violent overtures from the belligerent Confederacy of Independent Systems. Although the Republic’s armed forces complied, their station on Orto Plutonia soon ceased communications, forcing military leaders and Chairman Chi Cho of the Pantoran Assembly to organize an investigative task force to send to the frozen world. Cho asked that Chuchi accompany him with Jedi Generals Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi to Orto Plutonia to act as a liaison between the Pantoran government and the Jedi Order.
While Chuchi was on Orto Plutonia, her responsibilities as a senator were marginalized by Cho, who simply used her as a mouthpiece to convey his orders to the two Jedi. It was eventually discovered that Orto Plutonia was indeed inhabited and that its Talz population was the cause of the communications disruption. Chairman Cho held a great disdain for the Talz and attempted to wipe out the Plutonian tribe, but was instead killed in the process. Chuchi was able to negotiate peace between the Pantoran government and the Talz of Orto Plutonia before she eventually returned to the Republic’s capital of Coruscant to resume her senatorial duties. Later in the war, Pantora was blockaded by the Trade Federation megaconglomerate under the pretense that the planet owed a number of debts to the corporation. During the crisis, the daughters of the newly-elected Pantoran Chairman, Notluwiski Papanoida were kidnapped by bounty hunters working on behalf of Federation representatives who were interested in pushing Papanoida to ally his world with the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Chuchi took it upon herself to find the chairman’s missing daughters with the aid of her close friend, Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano. The two visited the Trade Federation vessel in orbit of Pantora to search for the kidnapped Papanoidas but were only successful in finding Chi Eekway Papanoida. However, they did overhear a conversation that confirmed that Trade Federation supervisor Sib Canay had planned the blockade and kidnappings on behalf of the Confederacy, successfully using that information to bring an end to Pantora’s commercial isolation. Chuchi continued to serve Pantora during the Clone Wars, surviving an assassination attempt by the sniper Shonn Volta and being one of the greatest proponents of a peaceful end to the war.
