  • Perre Needmo was a male Chevin who hosted a show on Coruscant called The Perre Needmo Newshour, which focused on recent events in the Coruscant area. Needmo was a longtime friend of his director, Jorm Alvic, and was well respected throughout the galaxy for his temperate and balanced reporting. The Perre Needmo Newshour was a favorite program of Han Solo, who regularly tuned in after his granddaughter, Allana Solo, started taking interest in the Chevin's reporting. Solo considered Needmo's show to be a welcome respite from the more biased reporting of Javis Tyrr. Needmo himself considered Tyrr's work to be "sleemo journalism." Needmo's interests soon turned to sentient's rights, and he decided to use his clout with the public to run segments discussing slavery throughout the galaxy circa 44 ABY. Originally, he sent Madhi Vaandt on location to report on slavery, first to Vinsoth, Perre's home planet, and later to Blaudu Sextus. After Madhi's death during the events of the Blaudu Sextus slave revolt, Needmo took it upon himself to interview various beings tied to the slave revolts throughout the galaxy. One such interview, in which Rokari Kem discussed the Qaras slave revolt, was witnessed by Abeloth, who decided to impersonate Kem in order to gain control of the government on Coruscant. The Triumvirate in charge of the GA following Natasi Daala's deposition had great trust in Perre Needmo's professionalism and impartiality. When Luke Skywalker revealed his plans to remove Saba Sebatyne from the Triumvirate - and the New Jedi Order from Coruscant - in 44 ABY, the Triumvirate helped Luke choose Needmo as the newscaster to break the information to the public. Luke did not inform Needmo that he had such important news to relay prior to the interview, and noted with mild surprise that Needmo and his crew were professional enough to take the revelation in stride. After the escape of the Jedi, Needmo attempted to honor Madhi Vaandt's death by continuing her work on the Coruscant underworld. As newer, more slanted (not to mention Sith-controlled) broadcasting began arising as a result of the upheaval caused by the Jedi exodus, Needmo reminisced about times when Javis Tyrr and his ilk were the least of his worries.
