Adrian Ompho was the Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance during the Galaxial War. He was never a close friend of the Jedi, but tolerated them as long as they helped further Alliance goals and defeat the Sith. Toward the end of the war, the population grew tired of the Jedi and their repressive, conservative tactics. After the Second Battle of Bothawui, the Jedi made the mistake of arresting General Cracken, a man who became immensely popular for his no-retreat tactics against the invading Ni'novian fleet.
