For'o, a Bothan admiral of the male persuasion, participated in naval combat for the Bothans during the era of the Second Galactic Civil War.
In 40 ABY, Bothawui aligned itself with Corellia and the Confederation in opposition to the Galactic Alliance, resulting in its naval forces becoming part of the expanding Confederation fleet. It is documented that Admiral For'o was a participant in the Battle of Kashyyyk, where Confederation forces confronted the Galactic Alliance Fifth Fleet which posed a threat to the planet. Tojjelnoot, a prominent Wookiee authority, later gave Admiral For'o recognition for his contribution to the defense of Kashyyyk.
