Hitting this up for plotting. You pretty much know what Lenna's current situation is with her father, and that's going to lead to her trying to take a more active hand in the politics of the city. She's not on the Council herself, obviously, so I'm sure she'd appreciate him advocating for her. Also fine with him having known her parents - Councilman Tycoon was a Ranger in his younger days, retiring when he got too old for service and then pursuing a political career. Her mother was a career Council member, largely involved in the same sort of charity Lenna's taken up recently. She died when Lenna was fairly young, but Palpatine's old enough to have known her during her political career.
