Legend

this young woman was the only surviving child of the King of Naldar, after her homeworld was destroyed by Imperial forces in the wake of the Battle of Endor. She was the twin sibling of Prince Denin, who died about two years before the Battle of Endor. From that point forward, Vila adopted the alias of Denin, in the hopes of retaking Naldar. She took a starship and fled Naldar, barely making it to the Forest Moon of Endor. There, she posed as Denin in hopes of enlisting the aid of the Alliance in freeing Naldar. She also hoped to be trained as a Jedi Knight by Luke Skywalker. However, her pleas for help fell on the deaf ears of Leia Organa, who couldn't understand why Denin would linger on Endor when his people were dying. Although the Alliance couldn't spare a fighter squadron, a small task force was sent to accompany Vila back to Naldar. It was on Naldar that Leia discovered the truth about Denin's death, and Vila was forced to explain herself. Shortly afterward, when it was discovered that Flint was behind the subjugation of Naldar, Vila jumped in front of a blaster bolt meant to kill Flint. She wanted the fighting stopped, after Flint agreed to free Naldar. Vila died from her injuries, but it was rumored that she was reunited with Denin when she became part of the Force.
