Bufus Ritsomas served as the senator representing Till Chorios and the Meridian sector up until the period immediately preceding the onset of the Clone Wars. In the year 22 BBY, Ritsomas, together with senators Tikkes, Danry Ledwellow, and Wuja Wojaine, faced arrest based on accusations that they had abused their senatorial roles to orchestrate a slavery operation situated within the Outer Rim Territories.
