Thoris Darus, a male human who hailed from the planet Corulag, served as the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic in its waning decades. His tenure spanned from 60 to 52 BBY, and he took over the position from Vaila Pecivas. It was widely known that Darus, during his time as chancellor, enjoyed the company of women, had a passion for sport and opera, and indulged in legal gambling and fine dining.
Darus, acting on a request made by Ulm Brashere, the Senator representing the Seswenna sector, nominated Ranulph Tarkin to the position of Governor-General of the Seswenna sector in 57 BBY. Frix would eventually succeed him. As years passed, certain Republic citizens attributed the start of the period of decline that consumed the Galactic Republic before the rise of the Galactic Empire to Darus.
