A queen was the female ruler of a monarchy. The male equivalent was a king.
History[edit | edit source]
- "I wasn't the youngest queen ever elected. But now that I think back on it, I'm not sure I was old enough. I'm not sure I was ready."
- ―Padmé Amidala
On Naboo, the queen ruled the planet as an elected leader.[3] Yram,[7] Réillata,[8] Sanandrassa,[9] Padmé Amidala,[3] Jamillia,[10] Neeyutnee,[11] Apailana,[12] and Sosha Soruna[13] all served as Queen of Naboo.
Several other worlds, such as Alderaan,[5] Bardotta,[1] Hynestia,[14] Ktath'atn,[6] Livorno,[15] Rendel,[16] Sarka,[17] and Zygerria, also had some form of monarchy ruled by a queen.[4]
During the Clone Wars, Zygerria and its slave empire were ruled by Queen Miraj Scintel,[4] until she was killed by Count Dooku,[18] and Queen Julia reigned over Bardotta.[1]
Breha Organa was the Queen of Alderaan, until the planet's destruction by the Galactic Empire's Death Star during the Galactic Civil War.[5]
The Geonosians also had queens, including Karina the Great who served as the secret leader of the Stalgasin hive.[19]
Princess Trios of Shu-Torun became the new monarch of her homeworld shortly after her father was murdered by Darth Vader's assassin droids, BT-1 and 0-0-0.[2]
Some female individuals of the Yalbec species were recognized as queens. During an insurrection on Yalbec Prime, a clone commando squad known as Clone Force 99 met one of these queens, whose stinger was cut off by a soldier named Wrecker. The stinger of a Yalbec queen was considered by some people as a delicacy.[20]
