"Orbital Security Station Six to Coruscant Control. Checking in. Nothing to see here but stars..."

- Femi

Femi was a female Rutian Twi'lek who lived during the Great War between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire in the year 3,653 BBY. She served on board Orbital Security Station Six, a satellite monitoring the traffic in and out of the Galactic Republic capital of Coruscant, just prior to an attack by the Sith Empire.

Biography
"Unidentified vessel, this is Coruscant Security. We weren't expecting... Do you have a clearance code?"

- Femi's communication to the Sith fleet

Serving on board Orbital Security Station Six over Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic government, Femi, a female Rutian Twi'lek who lived in the year 3,653 BBY, worked with a male Human for Coruscant Security monitoring the traffic in and out of the planet. She checked into Coruscant Control, reporting that there was nothing in her vicinity and shared a brief conversation with the dispatcher, saying that she was going planetside as her rotation aboard the satellite was complete. She then noticed Sith ships in her area and asked the flagship for clearance codes. The Sith and the Republic were meeting at Alderaan to discuss terms for ending the Great War, a galaxy-wide conflict that had been taking place between them for decades, and the unexpected arrival of their fleet caught Femi off-guard. Rather than transmit a response back to her, Femi and her partner were killed after Angral, a Sith Lord from the Empire and leader of the assault, ordered his ship to fire on the satellite. This began the Sacking of Coruscant, a battle between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. The conflict ended with the Treaty of Coruscant, an agreement that forced the Republic to abandon long-time allies and give many outlying worlds over to the Sith and put an end to the Great War in favor of the Sith Empire.
