Biography
Martika Varta served in the Umbaran Militia for two years and the Republic Military for three, attaining the rank of Captain before receiving an honorable discharge. His military record is spotless, though his service took place during a time of relative peace, and thus his political opponents often attack him as being uneducated in the ways of the military and unsuited for making decisions regarding topics like war.
This is counterbalanced by his well established strengths in foreign policy; Martika served as diplomat to Umbara's neighbours for three years before being elevated to the position of Galactic Envoy, which took him all over the Galaxy to work with various governments outside the Republic in the name of Umbara.
Eventually, at the age of 28, Martika ran successfully for the position of Umbara's Economic Commission, serving with distinction for two terms of two years each before being elected to the seat of the Umbaran Economic Ministry. By the age of 37 Martika had served with the Ministry for three years, and sought election to the Republic Economic Committee within the Senate as Umbara's representative. He lost his first bid for election, but ran a second time two years later, at the age of 42. Now 45, Martika will be facing reelection as Umbara's senator within the next year, and is already gathering staff with which to found his reelection campaign.
