Jer'Jo Cam'Co, a Chiss male, held the distinction of being among the original syndics who established the Chiss Ascendancy. Following the discovery of resource-abundant worlds through exploratory missions, he put forward the idea for the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet. Due to this pivotal role, his name frequently appeared in ancient documents housed within the Expeditionary Library. In honor of his contributions, at least seven Chiss vessels bore his name, in addition to two star systems, one of which was the Colonial Station Cam'co.
Jacen Solo came across the name on numerous times while researching the location of Zonama Sekot within the Library. Upon inquiring with Wynssa Fel about the identity of Jer'Jo Cam'Co, it was Commander Hess'irolia'nuruodo, known as "Irolia", who provided an explanation of the Syndic's background.
