Jobath Knox held the position of Chief Councilor for Galantos throughout both the Black Fleet Crisis and the Yuuzhan Vong War. He began his career as a member of the Fian Security Force before transitioning into politics at forty years old, becoming a follower of the God of Age, Gotagei. During the Yevethan Purge, Knox traveled to Coruscant to seek protection from the Yevetha directly from Chief of State Leia Organa Solo, waiting outside the Solo family's residence at the Imperial Palace for a full day or more. Leia, exceeding her authority as Chief of State, granted Galantos membership in the New Republic. However, during the Yuuzhan Vong War, he struck an agreement with the Peace Brigade, promising to cut ties with the New Republic if the Yuuzhan Vong eliminated the Yevethan threat. When Leia Organa Solo arrived on Galantos, Jobath attempted to stall, but after the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Galantos while Leia was present, he promptly brought Galantos into the Galactic Alliance.
