An influential Senator during the Clone Wars, Chi Eekway was a member of the inner circle of loyalists that advised Chancellor
Palpatine during those trying times. She grew increasingly concerned with the Chancellor's expanding executive powers, and was one of a cabal of Senators determined to preserve democracy in the Senate, no matter the cost. In the earliest days of dissent against the burgeoning
Empire, Eekway advised patience.
Enveloped in heavy robes with only her blue-skinned face visible, Eekway was rumored to have close contact with the mysterious Baron Papanoida.
