thus, individual bothans put their own political and economic success above all other concerns, and as a species, bothans put their own advancement ahead of other intergalactic interests. the volume of backstabbing, subtle character assassination and political maneuvering in bothan society was dizzying, and resulted in many species stereotyping bothans as untrustworthy. in times of crisis, the focus of bothan society shifted to a survivalist state known as "ar’kai". when engaged in ar’kai, all fit bothans volunteered to defend their species from impending annihilation. the last calling of ar’kai was during the yuuzhan vong invasion after the death of borsk fey’lya and the practical defeat of the new republic. government the bothan council, a representative body of selective bothan clans, was the primary governmental body of the bothan people. renamed the "combined clans" during the new republic era, the body was still commonly referred to as the council. at the height of the galactic civil war, the council was comprised of representatives from 608 registered clans. a constant flow of new clans petitioned for membership with the numbers soaring during crises like the yuuzhan vong invasion. at the head of the council was the first secretary, who led the council from their headquarters in merchant's square in the capital of drev'starn. beginning with the clone wars and continuing after the fall of the old republic, the council absorbed many of the bothan political bodies, such as the bothan independent treasury, seeing them as wasteful, corrupt and inefficient. highly centralized, the bothan council governed all social, political, economic and security issues of bothan life. the bothan diplomatic corps was one of the few government organizations to survive the culling, and was in fact expanded. the diplomatic corp operated as a branch of the bothan government, and held the responsibility of furthering bothan ideals through diplomacy. its agents met with the leaders of other worlds, forged treaties, and represented bothawui in the new republic, to ensure that bothan ends were served in any alliance. military although a neutral planet during the galactic civil war, the bothans maintained a small defense force to protect bothawui, and bothan colonies and economic interests. bothan soldiers and officers were trained at the oft-mocked bothan military academy. after the empire subjugated the bothan worlds, alliance general bob hudsol organized many bothan into a resistance movement that eventually overthrew the imperial garrison. as bothan involvement in the new republic increased, so did bothan military advancement. from 4.5 aby to 8 aby, the new republic defense fleet maintained a bothan-only bothan combat response element as a quick response force, giving early experience to many future bothan new republic officers. by 25 aby, bothans such as traest kre'fey held high ranking posts in the new republic military, and the bothans had developed several warships, such as the bothan assault cruiser. bothawui

the planet served as the homeworld of the bothan race as well as a major hub for information trafficking. the bothan spynet was widely agreed-upon to be the best in the galaxy and much of the information it carried came through bothawui at some point. the imperial name for the planet was bothawui proper. the planet was home to both industry and grain farms. the planet was mined for indigenous ores such as lidium. the planet was an old member of the galactic republic: bothese was one of the languages from which basic developed. the bothans colonized many nearby worlds and bothawui became the capital of bothan sector. the planet was represented in the galactic senate by polo se'lab. it remained neutral during both the clone wars and the galactic civil war. during the latter conflict, isb agent mar barezz intercepted agent tiree at mesa 291 on bothawui while tiree was recruiting support for the alliance, but failed to capture or kill him. despite it's nuetrality, upon learning that bothan spies had acquired the death star plans and given them to the rebels, the emperor travelled to this planet and with only him and two royal guards and the might of the force, decimated hundreds of bothans. the planet was a founding member of the new republic, although long represented only indirectly by senator borsk fey'lya of kothlis, a colony of bothawui. when fey'lya was elected president of the new republic, bothawui was again represented directly in the senate by mak sezala. during the caamas document crisis bothawui was the subject of many anti-bothan riots. leia and han solo were caught up in one of these attacks at a record center. han was blamed for killing one of the rioters, though it was really an imperial agent. as the crisis escalated, general garm bel iblis was stationed over the planet. when he and the new republic task force had to leave, the general left corran horn and wedge antilles to guard the planet's shield generator from anticipated subterfuge. the duo met with moranda savich, an employee of talon karrde, who was also attempting to stop such an attempt. the trio were only somewhat successful, as the imperial intelligence team led by drend navett managed to bring down the shields, resulting in the second battle of bothawui. during the yuuzhan vong invasion, bothawui and the other worlds of bothan space were protected by the fifth fleet of the new republic navy. this kept the fifth fleet out of much of the actual fighting, as chief of state borsk fey'lya wanted to make sure that his home sector was safe. still, the bothan people served in the war in many roles, from soldiers and naval officers in the defense force to intelligence operatives. the world also produced the bothan assault cruiser, a

powerful warship that served in new republic fleet and later the galactic alliance navy. the world was a important member of the galactic alliance, though extreme fundamentalist views of some bothans in regards to the defeated yuuzhan vong would cause some friction. the server plotline
