- "Who else has been nominated?"
"Bail Antilles of Alderaan and Ainlee Teem of Malastare." - ―Queen Amidala of Naboo and her chief of security, Captain Quarsh Panaka
Ainlee Teem was a Gran[2] senator who represented the planet of Malastare in the Galactic Senate during the last decades of the Galactic Republic. When the Trade Federation invaded the planet Naboo, the then-Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum was voted out of his office. Along with Bail Antilles of Alderaan and Sheev Palpatine of Naboo, Teem was nominated as Valorum's potential successor.[1] However, Teem's reputation was tainted with suspicions of corruption, and his candidacy was met with general disdain.[4] Ultimately, it was Palpatine who won the election.[1]
