The freedom fighter Cham Syndulla arose on Ryloth during the Clone Wars, after the Separatists invaded his homeworld. A dedicated fighter with no tolerance for corruption or dishonesty, Syndulla forged an alliance with Mace Windu that brought liberty to his fellow Twi'leks.
Cham Syndulla loved his home planet Ryloth, and wanted to see it liberated for all Twi'leks. Cham and his resistance fighters teamed up with Republic forces to free the city of Lessu.
Mace worked closely with rebel leader Cham Syndulla. Mace tried to convince Cham that the Twi'leks were not trading one occupational force for another.
Syndulla openly opposed the Republic and Ryloth's Senator, Orn Free Taa, believing him to be corrupt and uncaring of the fate of the Twi'lek people.
Wat Tambor led the Separatist invasion of Ryloth. In contrast to the high tech droids of Wat Tambor's forces, Cham's Twi'lek freedom fighters road into battle atop blurrg creatures.
