A three-eyed goat-faced politician from Malastare,
Aks Moe attempted to stall
Queen Amidala's bid to stop the
Trade Federation invasion of
Naboo in the
Galactic Senate. Moe, a bureaucrat to the core, cited procedure when he seconded the motion that would have created a commission to study the alleged attack. This move further illustrated to Amidala the inefficiencies of the Senate, and prompted Amidala to raise a Vote of No Confidence in
Supreme Chancellor Valorum. In the power vacuum that followed, one of Aks Moe's colleagues, Ainlee Teem, was nominated to succeed Valorum. That office instead went to
Palpatine. Ten years into Palpatine's rule, Moe was no longer the representative from Malastare. Instead, another similarly named politician, Senator
Ask Aak, held that office.
