Legend

this female Mawan was one of the more powerful crimelords of the planet Mawan, during the years following the Great Purge. She was not as powerful as her rivals, Striker and Decca the hutt, but she did managed to gain control of the services and supplies in the city of Naatan in the wake of the civil war. Her rivals paid her little notice, but it was Feeana who supplied the tunnel workers with food and supplies. This earned her a great deal of respect from the underground dwellers, who were part of the largest faction of free Mawans on the planet. When she was approached by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yaddle, who were on Mawan to negotiate a settlement to the civil war, Feeana claimed that she wasn't a true crimelord. She was merely a successful thief who had been driven from her home by the Great Purge. However, she agreed to help the Jedi establish a peaceful government in return for amnesty and the right to remain on Mawan as a native. She supplied soldiers to help secure Naatan after the Jedi managed to wrest control of the city's power grids from Striker, but found herself helpless to protect her people against Striker's true identity, Granta Omega. Yaddle's sacrifice in absorbing a dihexalon bomb persuaded her to remain in the city, though, but only because she had decided to double-cross the Jedi. After assuring them of her cooperation, she formed a tentative alliance with Omega, and was able to deliver the Jedi into his hands. However, Feeana was unaware that Omega would sacrifice her life in order to ensure his own escape. Only the timely intervention of Anakin Skywalker saved her life, when Omega threw her from his transport as a distraction.
