Biography . Hailing from a wealthy family on the Core World of Tinnel IV , Jerjerrod was a Human male who served as an admiral in the Galactic Republic ' s Navy . An ally of Palpatine , the Republic ' s Supreme Chancellor , Jerjerrod and his family benefited from the connections presented by his alliance with the Chancellor . During his career , Jerjerrod became concerned with the Navy ' s procurement policies , knowing that every piece of equipment in use — from starships to weapons — was the result of a compromise between the Galactic Senate and various commercial interests , and that much of the gear used by the Republic ' s enemies had likely been stolen from the military . The Admiral filed several reports regarding the matter with his superiors and colleagues within Naval Command ; many of his reports were subsequently leaked to the media . Believed to be responsible for the leaks , Jerjerrod was summoned to appear before the Procurement Panel of the Senate Naval Subcommittee . The Admiral was questioned by Senator Gopple of Erigorm and Senator V ' troren , both members of the Procurement Panel . Gopple accused Jerjerrod of attempting to weaken the Republic ' s faith in the Navy , but the Admiral maintained that he had taken the appropriate measures in filing his reports and had not been responsible for the leak . V ' troren was not convinced , believing the Admiral to be the only one with the motivation required to release the reports to the media .
