Beau-Ta-Quitala

A famous leader of the Interstellar Confederacy, a nation that existed in Core Sector prior to the Third Imperium. Born in -269 as prince of Keplo (Core 1322), at age 23 he became head of the planetary government and served on the Confederacy Council.

Violently opposed to the politics of Baron Rolf von Toerbach of Protalus (Core 0128), Beau-Ta-Quitala was elected Chamberlain of the Confederacy in -239.

Immediately, Baron von Toerbach's representatives withdrew from the Confederacy Council. Simultaneously with the withdrawal from the Council, rebels commanded by von Toerbach attacked Sketola (Core 0622), starting the Confederacy's Civil War.

Shortly after the Civil War, in -236, Beau-Ta-Quitala resigned from his post as Chamberlain of the Confederacy.

Beau-Ta-Quitala remained popular throughout the Confederacy in the years that followed. In -181, his personal cruiser Regal Voyager disappeared while en route from Keplo to the Confederacy capitol on Sketola -- a historical mystery.
