Ancient Empresses of the Core Worlds
HANNA CITY, CHANDRILA—While largely overshadowed by the infamous Xim the Despot in recent decades, a veritable pantheon of other powerful monarchs have risen and fallen in the millennia following the implosion of the Infinite Empire of the Rakata. A new archaeological exhibit sponsored by the Hapan Expatriates’ Association is now seeking to bring some of history’s most notorious females into the galactic spotlight.
From the genocidal Almay Kodos of Voon, to the legendary Veatrice LaProtia of Alderaan, to the mortal rivals Noanka Lyu of the Esselian Empire and Djemaia Acuala of the Azure Imperium, pre-Republic monarchs are well-represented in the exhibit, which will spend two weeks on Chandrila before moving further Rimward to Balmorra. In addition to pre-Republic figures, famous planetary or sector monarchs such as Empress Teta and Queen Anig are also included, as are Sith Lords such as Lady Galaco, Darth Lethe, and Belia Darzu.
“In a galaxy that is thoroughly dominated by males,” wrote Greskal, reviewing the exhibit for the Naboo Cultural Journal, “it is refreshing to be immersed in the exploits and triumphs of some of the greatest females our society has ever seen.”
