Numa Rar

"I do not ask for rescue, only for help in my struggle."

- Numa Rar

Numa Rar, pronounced Num'arar in Twi'leki, was a Twi'lek Jedi Knight during the Yuuzhan Vong War and sister to Alema Rar. Numa was trained, along with her sister, by the Twi'lek Jedi Knight Daeshara'cor.

Yuuzhan Vong War
"Find your center, sister. Let the Force flow into you."

- Numa advises Alema Rar

With her sister Alema, Numa was one of the founders and leaders of the Yuuzhan Vong resistance force on New Plympto. When the Yuuzhan Vong decided to destroy New Plympto because of the aggravation of the resistance, Numa and her sister sneaked out aboard Nebula Chaser. However, Yuuzhan Vong caught the vessel and sent voxyn, Jedi-sensing destroyers, aboard. The voxyn found the Twi'lek sisters and while Numa fought these monsters, one of them sprayed acid at her face eating it away and killing her even as her sister dragged her into an escape pod. And so, Numa Rar became the first of the many Jedi victims of the voxyn.

Post-Mortem
Not having the time to properly mourn her sister, Alema eventually turned to the dark side of the Force and slowly went insane. When Alema was trapped on Tenupe between 36 ABY and 40 ABY, she had hallucinations that she and Numa were on Yavin 4, exploring the jungles.

Behind the scenes
Numa was the first name of the second King of Rome.
