Reply #16: Thanks for the comments - I was just looking up the different "beings" from Star Wars

[1776Forever]

and found out there are loads of them! Just like the characters they are really a story unto themselves. This will give me some more names to look up. Never new too much about Borsk Fey'lya, but from the following looks like you got it right on the mark!

"He lives in a world of shifting alliances. Borsk does what Borsk needs to do, at any given moment, to benefit Borsk. And he's so jaded by that personal philosophy that he thinks everyone else plays by the same rules."
―Luke Skywalker

Throughout his time in the political theatre of the New Republic, Fey'lya won and lost many allies, as was his wont during his constant, ever-ambitious quest for power. His rivalry with the reputable Admiral Ackbar, dislike of the New Jedi Order and anti-Human sentiment led many to possess an unfavorable opinion of the Bothan, though Fey'lya's obsession in his pursuit of power was mirrored in his belief that his actions should enable the best for the most. His fear of the usurpation of his power was reflected in his antagonistic attitude to the armed forces, whom he perceived as a contender to politics, and, having failed to assume control of the New Republic military during the Thrawn campaign, the Bothan would consistently undermine its reputation, most notably during the early days of the Yuuzhan Vong War when it served his interests to refuse the existence of the alien threat.
