Legend

this old Phindian woman was a member of the Syndicat which controlled the planet Phindar during the Old Republic. She was also an agent of the local resistance movement that rose up against the Syndicat's control of the planet, and assisted Guerra and Paxxi Derida in their plan to infiltrate the Syndicat's stronghold and recover food, supplies, and valuables. The two brothers were able to enter the palace with the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Duenna was extremely loyal to the brothers and their cause, even in the face of renewal threats from Terra. Guerra and Paxxi later revealed to the Jedi that Duenna was their mother, and that Terra was their sister. Duenna had joined the Syndicat in order to try and restore Terra's original memories, but was unable to do so. This put her in considerable risk, but she endured it as long as there was hope for her children.
