Finis Valorum was the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic during the Invasion of Utapau. In 23 BBY, Valorum signed the Republic Anti-Slavery Law bill into law, prohibiting the use of slave workers by Republic corporations outside of Republic jurisdiction. The Trade Federation shipping cartel, outraged over the act as it directly impacted its corporate bottom line, retaliated against the law by blockading Utapau, a key supporter of the bill’s passing, in 22 BBY.[1]
Along with Utapau’s Senator Malus Palpatine and Queen Sabé Arcadia, Valorum attempted to negotiate with the Federation’s Viceroy, Nute Gunray, for one month, but the negotiations failed.[2] Eventually, Valorum selected two members of the Jedi Order, Jedi Master Jard Dooku and Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, to travel to the lead blockade ship and resolve the situation.[1] Valorum received confirmation that the Jedi had arrived on the vessel,[2] but the two Jedi were targeted for assassination and Maul, the Dark Jedi commander of the blockade, claimed that no ambassadors had ever arrived.[1]
