Q-Varx was a Mon Calamari who represented the Calamari sector in the New Republic Senate. Q-Varx was a leader of the Rationalist Party on the planet Dac. However, in reality Q-Varx was a traitor, passing vital information about the Republic to Seti Ashgad and attempting to poison Carlist Rieekan in return for bribes. When this was discovered, Q-Varx was stripped of all positions and imprisoned. Only Rieekan's recovery saved Q-Varx from the death sentence.
