Deca Brun was a contender in the Galacian Gubernatorial election of 44 BBY, vying for the position of governor. His campaign garnered significant backing due to his pledges of positive change and economic success. Secretly, Brun had entered into an agreement with the Offworld Mining Corporation, assuring them sole rights to mine resources in return for financial support for his campaign; this would have resulted in substantial harm to the environment. Obi-Wan Kenobi uncovered this clandestine arrangement, and the information came to light prior to the vote. Consequently, Wila Prammi, a rival candidate, secured victory in the election with an overwhelming margin.
