Nieve Gromia

"If the Empire is going to pass me over and stick me out in this desolate place&mdash;if it's going to show me no loyalty&mdash;then I have no qualms about using my position to better myself."

- Nieve Gromia

Nieve Gromia was a female Human Moff loyal to Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire during the Second Imperial Civil War. By 137 ABY she had been placed in charge of the Arkanis sector and tasked to eliminate the pirates preying on Imperial shipments.

Biography
After a series of failures on Gromia's part to stop the pirates, Director of Imperial Intelligence and fellow Moff Nyna Calixte informed Gromia that she was sending two agents to help her deal with the threat. The agents turned out to be Calixte's own daughter Gunn Yage and Morrigan Corde. Yage arrived first on Imperial Station Bravo, Gromia's headquarters and the former palace of Gardulla the Hutt. There Yage was briefed by Gromia that the person responsible for the attacks was going by the name of Luke Skywalker, in which Yage informed Gromia that the true culprit was Cade Skywalker, not Luke. Afterwards, Moff Gromia provided Yage with civilian clothings and a X-34 landspeeder to aid in her infiltration of Mos Eisley.

Soon after the meeting, Gromia retired to her living quarters where she contacted the Black Sun Vigo Lun Rask, whom she secretly had an arrangement with. Together they plotted to kill Cade and Yage on Tatooine, with Rask supplying three assassins; a Blood Carver named Ku Vrat, and an Anzati married couple named Sint and Nakia Yoru.

Behind the scenes
According to artist Jan Duursema, Gromia's first name, Nieve, is Spanish for "snow" which is "descriptive of her cold personality."
