Eramuth Bwua ' tu Eramuth Bwua ' tu was a male Bothan who served as a respected and successful attorney from the family Bwua ' tu , always defending his beliefs , and the uncle of Galactic Alliance Admiral Nek Bwua ' tu . In 44 ABY , Bwua ' tu represented former Jedi Tahiri Veila in her trial against the Galactic Alliance for the assassination of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon during the Second Galactic Civil War . He had a reputation for being a fair attorney , and his main legal strategy consisted of playing on the sympathies of the jury . He was a part of Club Bwua ' tu , an organization comprising of him , his nephew Nek , Wynn Dorvan and Padnel Ovin which was determined to uncover various conspiracies which aimed to cause galaxy - wide anarchy . Biography . Career as a lawyer . From the Siberian Botanical Bwua ' tu family , Eramuth won every case he argued . He is known for his elegant and old - fashioned style , and for being very courteous in manner . While his eccentricities suited him , every detail - - from old - fashioned mannerisms aimed at charming a jury , to pretending to sleep through a prosecutor ' s cross - examination of a witness - - was calculated . He represented clients only if he was convinced of their innocence and of his eventual victory . Around the time of the Second Galactic Civil War , he retired to academia . He felt it was an honor to pass his knowledge onto the next generation , especially since he felt that his mind grew better with age . He tried at least one previous case against prosecutor Sul Dekkon . When Tahiri asked if he won , he answered " naturally . " Representing Tahiri Veila . Tahiri Veila , a former Jedi who became the Sith apprentice to Darth Caedus , was sued by Natasi Daala ' s Galactic Alliance for the assassination of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon . After the court refused to allow Nawara Ven to represent her , and Mardek Mool admitted he wasn ' t up to the challenge , Jagged Fel ' s fiancee Jaina Solo convinced him to see that Tahiri had fair representation . The result was Eramuth agreeing to take the case . Veila was at first off - put by Eramuth ' s eccentricities - - such as using Flimsi because he preferred everything in hard copy - - but she quickly grew to trust his judgment . Eramuth wanted the jury to empathize with Tahiri , to understand everything she went through before falling under Caedus ' sway . This was punctuated by the theatrical arrival of Anakin Solo look - alike Dab Hantaq while Tahiri was on the witness stand . This was undermined by as the prosecution brought forth surprise evidence : a recording of Pellaeon and Veila , just before he was killed . Eramuth tried every means to prevent the playing of the recording and requested a more detailed examination on the recording . During the trial , Lydea Pagorski , a communications officer aboard the " Bloodfin " , told the court about Pellaeon ' s death and that Veila was the one who killed him in order for the Moffs to ally with no resistance as his new chief of the empire . Wanted to address the judge as a lawyer , Eramuth refused to believe that and discovered that the recording of the Grand Admiral ' s death , had not been monitored , but Pagorski lied that Veila stayed with her lover Liyn , who was a member of the security unit , during the the time of the war . Eramuth wanted to find out why Pagorski lied to the court and presented a military data storage , which he had received from Jagged Fel to request for evidence which included a recording . After the recording revealed the conversation between Caedus and Veila , Eramuth accused Lydea for false testimony in the murder trial . After an incident at the prison , Eramuth spoke before the next hearing because he wanted to ensure that his client would come out free from this criminal case . In his view , he built his defense on the fact that they had been deliberately lured to a place where they had attacked the former Jedi . He later went with Veila in the courtroom where he applied for a short break in order to discuss things with his client . Although , Tahiri believed that Bwua ' tu may have won all the important parts of the process , but the Bothan explains that they now had greater problems . In addition , the acquisition of the Galactic Alliance had caused a negative mood towards the Jedi , as this was considered a monstrous betrayal . After the break , Bwua ' tu was talking quietly with Tahiri and was sure that he would win her freedom . Although , Tahiri couldn ' t risk him to anything for her and apologized . Later , Eramuth continued to ease his client ' s conditions since the Jedi could do nothing to help . When he was about to show a presentation that should help Veila pass the death penalty , the former Jedi sensed danger and ordered Bwua ' tu , to go into cover and lay down on the floor . In fact , the institution was attacked shortly by the bounty hunter Boba Fett , who wanted to rid the deposed head of state . While Bwua ' tu was unharmed , Tahiri took advantage of the situation and escaped from captivity . Eramuth was shocked by the escape of his client , which almost covered the shame of the case . On the run , Veila planned on returning to Bwua ' tu , but she considered that her lawyer would not look good . Against Corruption . After the trial , Eramuth Bwua ' tu continued to care for his nephew and sat long at the bed of the admiral until the Bothan finally awoke from the coma . He inquired about the welfare of his nephew and also called the adjutant of the injured Rynog Asokaji to himself , who informed him of the change of power at the head of the Galactic Alliance and the slave revolts . Together with Wynn Dorvan , his nephew , and the new head of state , Padnel Ovin , they formed a secret intelligence service called Club Bwua ' tu , where they plan to uncover the conspiracy in the government . A little later , Eramuth delivered complete information about Tahiri Veila , while Dorvan entertained with his nephew . He later went to see Leia Organa who was imprisoned after the Jedi left Coruscant . With the intention to assist in a possible court case , he met Ovin , who assured him that all charges would be dropped . Nevertheless , he chatted with the Jedi and told her husband that Leia Han Solo was planning their liberation with the club . Following the Liberation on Coruscant , he participated in the meeting of the Jedi Council where he provided information to the Jedi Council . He planned to call an attack on the capital , but the Jedi convinced him not too in which he agreed .
