Info:
A three-eyed Gran from Malastare, Senator Ask Aak was a member of the Loyalist Committee determined to keep the Republic from fragmenting under the strain of Separatist forces. Aak was a strong proponent of a Republic military force. He was for the Military Creation Act, and believed the only way to end the civil strife wracking the Republic was to creation an Army of the Republic. When one became available, mysteriously commissioned by the Jedi Council a decade ago, Aak strongly advocated its use.
The political career of Aak's predecessor, Aks Moe left much of the Gran Protectorate mired in scandal and with no shortage of enemies. Malastare was plagued with social strife stemming from the second-class treatment of its native Dug citizenry. Dug activists even disrupted what was to be a placid, respectful funeral for the fallen Moe.
Following Moe's death, Senator Ask Aak was sworn into office in his place. With the indelible example set by Moe's murder, Aak became an even more vocal champion of the Military Creation Act than Moe was.
