Cato Neimoidian government

The Cato Neimoidian government was the planetary governing body of Cato Neimoidia. It had strong ties to the Trade Federation but remained independent of it. 
==History==
During the Clone Wars, the government had opted to publicly declare neutrality, much like the Trade Federation. Alluv Eyam served as the government's minister of defense. Rosbuen Frisk also served as the Galactic Republic's diplomat to Cato Neimoidia, operating from the Republic consulate office when on the planet.
The Cato Neimoidian government had its own military, the Neimoidian Defense Legion, which was utilized by the regime as well as the Trade Federation. The Defense Legion maintained a special forces unit, Neimoidian special forces, of which the commando Ruug Quarnom was formerly an operative. She later served in the Neimoidian Royal Guard—another branch of the military which also saw deployment within both the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems—alongside the guardsman Ketar Nor.
==Behind the scenes==
The Cato Neimoidian government appeared in the 2022 novel Brotherhood, written by Mike Chen.
