Legend

this female humanoid was a charismatic political figure on her homeworld of Ieria, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was easily distinguished by her tall, lanky frame and her white hair, which was cut short and worn in twisted spikes. Her eyes were a pale blue color that was nearly colorless. She fought vocally for Ieria to be given better trade routes and more recognition, since her believed her homeworld was relegated to lesser status by the government on Andara. She also argued that Ieria deserved its own seat on the Galactic Senate, and pushed Senator Berm Tarturi to recognize her position. Behind the scenes, Halion employed a band of mercenary students - unknown to her, it was led by Senator Tarturi's own son, Gillam - to cause disruptions which helped rally her people to her cause. When small actions failed to bring the desired results, Halion employed the young mercenaries to strafe an Andaran military landing platform, to force Tarturi to negotiate. Unknown to Halion, however, Gillam Tarturi planned to use live fire in the mission, as way to have himself "killed." He planned to ensure that Anakin Skywalker was killed in the mission, damaging the body enough so that it could pass as Gillam.
