- "My noble colleagues, less than an hour ago, an assassination attempt was made against my life. One of my bodyguards and six others were ruthlessly and senselessly murdered."
- ―Padmé Amidala, before the Galactic Senate
Versé was a Human female who served as one of Senator Padmé Amidala's handmaidens during the end of the Separatist Crisis.
Biography[]
Like all the other handmaidens, Versé was trained in self-defense and marksmanship. Her rigorous training was supervised by Amidala's head of security, Captain Typho.[2]
In 22 BBY, Amidala was en route to the Galactic Senate for the vote on the Military Creation Act, which she was firmly opposed to. Versé accompanied her fellow handmaiden, Cordé, to Coruscant while the latter was impersonating Amidala and their mistress was posing as a starfighter pilot flying escort for the Naboo Royal Cruiser. Upon their arrival, Versé, Cordé, and five Naboo guards were killed in the assassination attempt meant for Amidala, courtesy of bounty hunter Zam Wesell.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Versé was portrayed by Avril Wynne in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.[3]
