Tredo Edo was an Ithorian trader of dubious business ethics. He was highly unsuccessful as a legitimate trader and took to the black market in hopes of increasing his profits and expanding his business, Tredo's Fine Wares. The aged Ithorian also ran Tredo's Botanicals, where he sold rare and exotic species of plants from throughout the galaxy. It was a popular destination for visitors to the inhabited moon of Nar Shaddaa. Tredo Edo was also an accomplished forgery artist. In 19 ABY Tredo Edo was elected Senator of Ithor to represent the planet in the new Galactic Alliance. Few other Ithorians showed the raw talent and desire to take ove the position.
