Leyli

"And you are quite sure that the Empire has fallen?"

- Leyli to Luke Skywalker

Lady Leyli was a Selonian official and aide to the Queen of Tralus. She assisted the Rebel Alliance's Rogue Squadron in locating a hidden Galactic Empire base on the planet, where the sadistic General Weir was torturing their comrade Ten Numb.

History
"Vader has been thought dead more than once before. How can you be certain it is true this time?"

- Leyli reacts to Luke Skywalker's reports with skepticism

Lady Leyli was the aide to the Queen of Tralus a week after the Battle of Endor of 4 ABY when the Rebel Alliance's Rogue Squadron traveled to Tralus in pursuit of Galactic Empire General Weir, who had abducted Rebel pilot Ten Numb in the hopes of torturing him for information. Upon landing on Tralus and encountering the Selonian community there, the pilots of Rogue Squadron met with Leyli. She expressed her fear of the Sith Lords Darth Vader and Palpatine; initially doubting Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker's reports of Vader's death and the Empire's defeat at Endor, she was convinced by his assurances and informed Skywalker and Rogue Squadron leader Wedge Antilles of the location of Weir's base, where he was holding Numb. She added that Weir was notoriously cruel, and that their comrade would surely be wishing for death by that time.

Personality and traits
"If the Emperor or&mdash;even worse, Darth Vader&mdash;still survives&hellip;they will bring death to these tunnels."

- Leyli frets

Leyli was a cautious and pragmatic individual; concerned with the protection of her community and queen on Tralus, these tendencies were understandably motivated by fear of Darth Vader and Palpatine. A Selonian with brown fur and green eyes, Leyli stood at a much taller height than Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles and wore a blue and white robe, with a green-jewelled tiara atop her head.

Behind the scenes
Leyli first appeared in X-Wing: Rogue Leader 3, the third installment of the X-Wing: Rogue Leader comic arc written by W. Haden Blackman and released on November 23, 2005. She was drawn by Tomás Giorello and colored by Michael Atiyeh.
