BiographyEdit

In 22 BBY, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis at the onset of the Clone Wars, Senator Gume Saam overlooked the deployment of clone troopers leaving the planet Coruscant prepared for combat.

As a senator, Gume Saam tried to push through a bill that would deregulate the banks. It would allow the InterGalactic Banking Clan to open new lines of credit, without the approval of the entire Galactic Senate. During the vote for the bill, the Confederate General Grievous launched an attack on a prominent Coruscant power generator. The attack was confirmed as a Separatist attack, and Saam was able to pass the bill.

Behind the scenesEdit

In his appearance in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series, Saam was voiced by Phil LaMarr, who also voices Senators Bail Prestor Organa and Orn Free Taa.^[1]
