Giddean Danu/Legends

==Biography==
Grim and humorless, Danu was among the Senators that opposed Chancellor Palpatine's growing emergency powers. This brought him into conflict with many people on Kuat, who benefited from increased production in Kuat's shipyards during the Clone Wars. His opposition to increased militarization led him to be twice nearly recalled from office by Onara Kuat and the Kuati electorate.
Danu was one of the Senators that met Palpatine at the Republic Executive Building after the Chancellor was rescued from General Grievous' flagship by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker.
The Senator had good ties with the Jedi and greatly respected their Order, believing the nascent rebellion being led by Mon Mothma and Bail Prestor Organa needed the support of the Jedi in order to succeed, he supported Amidala on her claim that without the jedi they would fail. Danu, following Mothma and Organa's lead, became part of the Delegation of 2000, although he did not accompany the group when their petition was rejected by Palpatine.
