Oodora was a senator who represented the planetManaan[1] for four consecutive terms, serving in the Galactic Senate for over twenty years in the decades before the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. During Oodora's tenure, the astromech droidT7-O1 served the Senator as a legislation analyst, but Oodora promoted T7-O1 after the droid's first year and the astromech soon became the Senator's campaign manager and speech writer.[2] After Oodora retired, T7-O1 eventually passed into the ownership of the slaverShafu.[3]
