Leyli

"And you are quite sure that the Empire has fallen?"

- Leyli to Luke Skywalker

Lady Leyli was a Selonian official on Tralus who had ties with a Selonian Queen. She assisted Rogue Squadron in locating a hidden Imperial base on the planet.

History
In 4 ABY, shortly after the Battle of Endor, Rogue Squadron traveled to Tralus in pursuit of General Weir, who had abducted Rebel pilot Ten Numb in the hopes of torturing him for information. Upon landing on Tralus and encountering a Selonian community, the pilots of Rogue Squadron met with Leyli, who expressed her fear of Darth Vader and Palpatine. Doubting Luke Skywalker's reports of Vader's death and the Empire's defeat, she nonetheless informed Skywalker and Wedge Antilles of the location where Weir was holding Numb, adding that Weir was notoriously cruel, and that their comrade would surely be wishing for death.

Personality and traits
"If the Emperor or&mdash;even worse, Darth Vader&mdash;still survives&hellip;they will bring death to these tunnels."

- Leyli frets

Leyli was a cautious and pragmatic individual; charged with the protection of her community and queen on Tralus, these tendencies were understandably motivated by fear of Darth Vader and Palpatine. A Selonian with brown fur and green eyes, Leyli stood at a much taller height than Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles, and wore a blue and white robe and several jeweled accoutrements such as a tiara.

Behind the scenes
Leyli first appeared in X-Wing: Rogue Leader 3, the third installment of the X-Wing: Rogue Leader comic arc in 2005.
