| abstract | - Hisako Hoshiko (Hee-za-ko Ho-she-ko; "enduring child of the stars") was a female Pantoran politician who served as the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic during the Hutt War. She was born into a political family on Pantora in 13,014 BBY; she was the daughter of Taibo Hoshiko, a prominent planetary leader, which led her to studying for and pursuing a career in law as a practicing attorney. Hoshiko became a member of the Pantoran Assembly in 12,988 BBY, giving her local political experience. She was appointed Galactic Senator of Pantora in 12,985 BBY. Her seven years in the Galactic Senate saw her push for a number of reforms for Mid Rim taxation and, during the Hutt War, the Galactic Republic military's command structure. Following the assassination of her political mentor, former Supreme Chancellor Alcor Bac, and the incapacitation of sitting Chancellor Jamall Mohatu, Hoshiko led a meeting of a Galactic Senate committee discussing the attack. The children of the late former Chancellor, Ahdam Bac and Analia Bac, endorsed Hoshiko as the next Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. She was elected to the Chancellery the next day and spoke about the need for recovery and renewal in her inaugural address.
