Legend

this female Twi'lek ws distinguished by her greenish skin and her single head-tail. A group of optical sensors was mounted in the stump of her missing head-tail. It was rumored that she was Oola's sister. She grew to power as the leader of the Diversity Alliance, and sought the location of the Emperor's Plague as a quick way to rid the universe of the human race. She paid Bornan Thul to transport it to her, but he disappeared with the datadisk and had to be hunted down by the likes of Boba Fett and Zekk. When she finally located the Imperial storehouse, Bornan tried to stop her. With the help of the yougn students of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, Tarkona was nearly captured. In the firefight between their forces, several of the Imperial plagues were unleashed, including the Emperor's Plague and a virus dangerous to Twi'leks. Both Bornan Thul and Nolaa Tarkona contracted one of Evir Derricote's viruses in the plague chamber, but Tarkona managed to escape with Raabakyysh. They fled the storehouse, but Tarkona was too ill to notice that the young Wookiee had blindly jumped into hyperspace. Raaba landed on a remote world and quarantined them both, until Nolaa died of her virus. She hoped that the virus would eventually die, and become harmless to the rest of the galaxy.
