Tashrikam served as the senator for the planet of Grizmallt within the Galactic Senate of the Republic. The Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine, revealed the establishment of the Loyalist Committee in 22 BBY; this group was composed of politicians who aimed to use diplomacy to resolve the escalating Separatist Crisis.
Tashrikam's opinion, documented in the 13:3:28 edition of the HoloNet News CoCo District Edition, viewed the committee's formation as a face-saving tactic by the chancellor instead of an opportunity to uncover conspiracies. Tashrikam drew a parallel between the committee's creation and the chancellor's request for negotiations with Separatist Head of State Count Dooku via the HoloNet the previous week, and commended Palpatine's shift towards engaging proactive senators for support.
