Peri Cimler

Peri Cimler is a human female senator who represented the people of Corulag during the final years of the Galactic Republic, and was a member of the Delegation of 2000. She was a close friend to fellow senator Padmé Amidala, with whom she shared similar morals and ideals. Cimler followed Amidala in opposing the Military Creation Act due to her similar hatred toward violence and war, however her efforts were proven to be pointless when Chancellor Palpatine was given emergency control over the Senate and the army was used in the first battle of the Clone Wars.

Peri Cimler was born to Teril and Reesa Cimler in 47 BBY on Corulag. She was raised with her younger sister, Maeel, in the capital where she was surrounded by politics. Her parents are the owners of Cimcore Spices, the largest spice company on Corulag, so she was heavily influenced by the powerful figures in the capital. Cimler entered into the Legislative Youth Program where she met young Padmé Amidala. Although she enjoyed her time in the program, Cimler always longed to live the luxurious life as an artist. It was common for her to have a new lover every other week or flirt with young representatives. She would also occasionally attempt to set up Amidala with suitors which would often cause friction between the senators.

During her first year as senator, the criminal syndicates that ruled Crullov City began to openly attack citizens and public figures that lived in the city. Cimler contacted the Jedi Council directly, pleading that the situation had escalated far beyond the local police's control and that their presence was needed. In response, the Council sent Jedi Master Mace Windu, his Padawan Alexian Amoree, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Ry-Gual to Crullov City. While there, Cimler met Amoree and instantly became infatuated with him. As the threat of assassination grew, Amoree was assigned to Cimler in order to protect her. While under protection, Cimler openly expressed her attraction toward the Jedi Padawan. Amoree, in a state of depression and in need of comfort, gives into her affections and begins a liaison with the Senator that lasts for a week. But once the Jedi's occupation there is completed, Amoree ends the relationship with hope that they become friends. Cimler agrees and swallows her feelings for him.

Her friendship with Amoree became important during the Clone Wars when her planet's trade route was disrupted and the planet's food supply was cut. Cimler immediately contacted Amoree and begged for his help. Amoree responded quickly and, with help from Obi-Wan Kenobi, was able to destroy the blockade. In public, Cimler rewarded Amoree and Kenobi with a Medal of Bravery but in private, she embraced them both with gratitude.
