Adana (Human)

Adana was a Human female refugee who lived in the Refugee Sector with her mother Nadaa on Nar Shaddaa, a moon of the planet Nal Hutta, during the final days of the Dark Wars in 3,951 BBY. At some point during this time she was kidnapped by the Exchange criminal organization's overseer of the sector, a Quarren named Saquesh. He took Adana due to Nadaa's inability to pay a tribute to him. While visiting the refugee sector, the former Jedi Knight, the Jedi Exile, met Nadaa, who begged the Exile to save her daughter. The Exile went to meet with the overseer and attempted to intimidate him into releasing Adana. The Exile was unsuccessful and was forced to slay the Quarren and his guards. The Exile then freed Adana from her prison. Adana was overjoyed to be free and returned to her mother. Adana's mother, Nadaa, was ecstatic to have her daughter back and thanked the Exile profusely for her help.

Biography
Towards the end of the Dark Wars in 3,951 BBY, Adana lived as a refugee with her mother Nadaa in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, a moon of the planet Nal Hutta. At some point during this time, Adana was kidnapped by the sector's Exchange crime boss and overseer, a male Quarren named Saquesh. Saquesh took her due to Nadaa's inability to pay a tribute of 600 credits to him. Saquesh planned to sell Adana to the Hutts to recoup the debt.

While visiting the moon in search of Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell, the Jedi Exile, a former Jedi Knight, spoke with Adana's mother, Nadaa. She told the Exile that Adana was being held by the Exchange, and she begged the Exile to help her. The Exile agreed to help Nadaa rescue Adana, and she went to meet with Saquesh. The Exile attempted to intimidate Saquesh to release Adana, but Saquesh was not swayed and immediately attacked the Exile. The former Jedi Knight slew the Quarren and his guards and released Adana from her cell. Adana thanked her rescuer and ran off to reunite with her mother. The Exile returned to Nadaa, who thanked the Exile profusely for her help.

Personality and traits
Adana had a sarcastic streak and was fully willing to verbally abuse those she thought were Saquesh's henchmen. She had no love for Saquesh himself either, wishing to see him "thrashed". While she loved her mother and wished she could be with her again, she also thought being sold into slavery wouldn't be so bad. She thought that anywhere was better than living in the Refugee Sector.

Behind the scenes
Adana appears as a non-player character in the 2004 video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The reward for freeing her is a random weapon or armor upgrade component. The game offers two additional ways to rescue Adana, either through the use of Force persuasion on Saquesh, or by paying the debt themselves. Alternatively, the player can convince Nadaa to sell herself to Saquesh to be with her daughter. This results in dark side points. Additionally, the player can convince Saquesh to sell Adana immediately. This also results in dark side points. If this path is followed, the refugee leader Hussef will later note that Adana's mother, Nadaa, went mad and vanished.
