Mee Deechi Mee Deechi was an Umbaran male who represented the planet Umbara in the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars . He was a leading advocate of increased troop production and the continuation of hostilities with the Confederacy of Independent Systems . This brought him into political conflict with anti - war senators such as Padmé Amidala of Naboo and Onaconda Farr of Rodia . Although he believed the anti - war stances of those senators were unpatriotic , he respected colleagues like Farr despite their political disagreements . When Farr and his allies proposed a bill to cut the Republic ' s military budget , Deechi worked with Senator Halle Burtoni of Kamino to defeat the legislation and pass Burtoni ' s proposal to produce more clone trooper s . Farr was murdered by his own aide , Lolo Purs , during the debate , and Deechi became a prime suspect due to his political disagreements with Farr . When Purs grew suspicious that Deechi had information about her involvement , she stabbed him to death . Purs was later arrested for her crimes . Deechi ' s death sparked Umbara ' s secession from the Republic and the resulting battle of Umbara . Biography . The war debate . In the waning years of the Galactic Republic , thousands of star system s broke away from the Republic and formed the Confederacy of Independent Systems , ultimately sparking the Clone Wars between the Republic and the Separatist Alliance in 22 BBY . Mee Deechi , the representative of his homeworld Umbara in the Galactic Senate , became a proponent of defeating the Separatists through military might . This led him to ally with like - minded senators such as Halle Burtoni of Kamino , who at some point during the war showed Deechi and other members of the Senate a holographic projection of Phase II clone trooper armor , an upgrade over the previous generation of clone trooper armor . The Galactic Senate became a political battlefield of its own during the war , with senators debating between continuing the war versus seeking a diplomatic solution with the Confederate government . In 21 BBY , Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo urged the Senate to enter into peace talks with the Separatist Senate , a proposal also backed by her friend and Separatist Senator Mina Bonteri . Deechi , a proponent of the war ' s continuation , questioned Amidala on having Separatist friends , as cries of treason echoed throughout the Senate . The peace proposal fell apart when the Senate received a message from Count Dooku , the leader of the Separatist Alliance , saying that he was withdrawing the Separatist Senate ' s call for peace and accusing the Republic of carrying out an attack against the people of the Confederacy — an attack that had allegedly killed Senator Bonteri . In truth , the attack had been carried out by Count Dooku to scuttle the peace process . In response to the escalating political tensions between the two governments , Burtoni proposed legislation to create five million more clone trooper s , a bill that Deechi supported as well . Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan , a leading opponent of a troop increase , intended to speak before the full Senate in opposition to the legislation , but he was left injured in a politically - motivated attack and was unable to speak . Senator Mon Mothma of Chandrila urged the Senate to wait for Organa to speak , to which Deechi retorted that Organa was nowhere to be found . In Organa ' s place , Senator Amidala addressed the full Senate with an impassioned plea to not let the cost of the war remove vital social services from the people of the Republic . Though he disagreed with Amidala ' s stance , Deechi nonetheless applauded the young Senator ' s address . The debate continued , with senators such as Organa , Amidala , Mothma , and Onaconda Farr of the planet Rodia proposing their own counter - legislation to decrease military spending and prevent a troop increase . Though Deechi respected Senator Farr , he nonetheless had his adversary followed to see if he could uncover any damaging information about the Rodian . It was through this clandestine operation that Deechi learned Farr had secretly held a meeting at Coruscant ' s docks under the derrick major with an unknown contact . . Murders in the Senate . The day after Deechi had Farr followed , Senator Amidala once again spoke before the Senate to advocate for the reduction of military spending , as well as the dangers of continuing to escalate the war with the Separatists . Deechi , who attended the speech , spoke with Amidala after she exited the Senate chamber . The Umbaran implied that her views were dangerous and unpatriotic , a stance that Amidala accused of being warmongering . Amidala and her allies attended a small gathering to celebrate her speech , a celebration at which Farr collapsed and died after unknowingly drinking poison . A memorial service was held on a Coruscant landing platform in honor of the fallen senator , with Deechi attending to pay respects to his political rival before Farr ' s body was returned to Rodia . Though the investigation into Farr ' s murder was officially conducted by Lieutenant Tan Divo of the Coruscant Security Force , the inspector inspired little confidence in Amidala , who conducted her own investigation alongside Senator Organa . Suspecting that political malfeasance was behind Farr ' s murder , the two anti - war senators confronted Deechi and Burtoni in the Umbaran senator ' s office . Both of the pro - war senators denied the allegations that they had anything to do with Farr ' s murder . Though they may have been political rivals , neither had motive to kill him . Burtoni found Farr to be a useful fundraising tool , as his stance led to contributions to her political endeavors , while Deechi expressed his respect for the late senator , despite their political differences . Deechi revealed that he nonetheless had Farr secretly followed and told Amidala and Organa about the Rodian ' s meeting on the docks . Amidala and Organa left to investigate the lead , though they did not give up their suspicions about Deechi or Burtoni . That night , Deechi was confronted by Lolo Purs , an aide to Senator Farr and a representative for Rodia . Purs was the true assassin and killed Farr after coming to resent him as a result of his brief decision to align Rodia with the Separatists earlier in the war . She had escaped suspicion for the crime but soon learned that Deechi was aware of Farr ' s meeting at the docks , which Purs had arranged in an attempt to intimidate Farr out of the Senate . In the hopes of covering her tracks , Purs stabbed Deechi in the chest , killing the Umbaran senator . His body was discovered by Amidala and Organa , prompting Lieutenant Divo to take increased security precautions in light of the murders of two senators . Purs ' guilt was soon uncovered by Senator Amidala , and the young Rodian was arrested by the Coruscant Security Force . Shortly after Deechi ' s death , the troop increase bill that Deechi helped champion was passed into law , and the proposal to reduce military spending was rejected . As a result of Deechi ' s assassination , Umbara withdrew from the Republic and allied itself with the Separatist Alliance . The secession led to the battle of Umbara between the Separatists and the invading Grand Army of the Republic . By the battle ' s end , the Republic emerged victorious and Umbara was brought back into the Republic fold . Personality and traits . Mee Deechi was an Umbaran male with white hair , a gaunt face , pale skin , and black - rimmed gray eye s , all of which cast the senator in an intimidating light . He was fiercely loyal to the Republic and became a proponent of escalated military action against the Separatists , to the point that he considered anti - war speeches to be unpatriotic and dangerous . After it was revealed that Padmé Amidala had held a secret meeting with her friend , Separatist Senator Mina Bonteri , Deechi publicly questioned the fact that Amidala had Separatist friends to influence , a question made in an attempt to influence the outcome of the Senate debate over the peace process . Deechi found allies in like - minded senators , such as Halle Burtoni of Kamino , with whom he worked to defeat anti - war legislation and continue the war against the Separatist Alliance . Despite their political differences , Deechi came to respect Onaconda Farr , as did representatives throughout the Galactic Senate . Nonetheless , the devious Deechi was not above spy ing on a respected colleague , so he had Farr followed in an attempt to dig up political dirt on his rival — a decision that ultimately led to Deechi ' s own murder . Equipment . While in office , Deechi wore grey , high - collared clothing similar to that of Sly Moore , a fellow Umbaran who served in the Senate as senior administrative aide to Chancellor Palpatine .
