Movie Information -

As the democratic ideals of the Republic began to disappear under the alarming reforms of Chancellor Palpatine, Senators Bail Organa and Mon Mothma organized a quiet resistance against these new outrages. They invited only a select few into these initial discussions, including the human Senator, Terr Taneel.

Taneel was a loyalist, serving in a committee close to Palpatine during the Clone Wars. She was one of the receiving Senators who waited on the Senate landing platform following Palpatine's rescue from General Grievous' clutches. Though she was grateful for a successful resolution to the terrible Battle of Coruscant, she nonetheless believed something needed to be done to save the Republic from Palpatine's machinations.

Expanded Universe -

For thousands of years, the Senex sector has been ruled by a cloistered group of ancient noble houses. Senator Terr Taneel of Neelanon was remarkably progressive despite being raised in a society so culturally outdated and inward looking. Her idealism drew the attentions of Mon Mothma and Bail Organa when they took the tentative first steps of organizing a resistance against Palpatine.

Taneel found herself among several loyalist colleagues within those ranks. She developed a close friendship with the Wroonian Chi Eekway. She felt both protective and wary of the younger Senator. Taneel feared that Eekway was too naïve or impetuous for so dangerous a conspiracy.
