Catarine Towani

Catarine Towani was the wife of Jeremitt Towani, mother of Cindel Towani, and mother of Mace Towani.

Biography
Catarine Towani and her family were on some voyage through the Moddell Sector in 3 ABY. For some reason their ship had to make a crashlanding on the Forest Moon of Endor. She and Jeremitt went out looking for help, leaving their children with the ship, telling them not to leave the ship while they were gone. However, upon return, they could find no trace of their children. Suddenly, the Gorax appeared near the ship and kidnapped both her and Jeremitt. Little did they know that Cindel was hiding in the ship.

Not long afterwards, a tribe of nearby ewoks, while on a search for their own children, discovered the crashed Towani star cruiser (which they assumed was deserted). After a look inside, they discovered Cindel, hiding in a cabinet. Soon Mace returned from a trek in the forest, assuming the ewoks meant harm toward he and his sister. After he reallized they meant no harm, he and he sister joined the ewoks in an attempt to rescue the parents from the clutches of the Gorax.

Together, they depart the village, and cross the Endor moon, until they finally reach the Gorax, who they fight and eventually defeat. Catarine and Jeremitt had been put in a cage by the Gorax, and had to be freed. Mace freed them, and everyone returned to the village. Once back at the village, everyone celebrated. The ewoks gave gifts to Catarine, and she was happy to be home with her family, and in the care of the ewoks. Jeremitt began work on repairing the star cruiser. After a few months, he finally has it near completion. When nearly ready to leave, a group of Sanyassan Marayders attck the village, killing many and capturing the rest. Unfortunately, Catarine was one of the victims, and her life was cut short by the Marauders. When Mace saw she was dead or dying, he dragged her body into an ewok hut. However, the Marayders shot the hut with a blaster cannon, killing Mace, and likely evaporating he and the body of his mother.
