Lanever Villecham was a male Tarsunt politician who served as the chancellor of the New Republic thirty years after the Battle of Endor. Villecham, a delegate to the Galactic Senate from the Tarsunt system, was a believer in the peace initiatives that the New Republic carried out after the signing of the Galactic Concordance with the Galactic Empire at the end of the Galactic Civil War. As such, he focused his time in office on improved trade relations with neutral systems and, despite the insistence of General Leia Organa and the Resistance, did not consider the emerging First Order to be a threat. He perished on Hosnian Prime when the planet, then-serving as the capital of the Republic, was destroyed by the First Order's Starkiller weapon.
