Eppie Belden

Eppie Belden, maiden name Eppie Antruse, was a Bakuran female member of the Antruse family of Bakura. She joined the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. With her husband, Orn Belden, she had a son named Roviden Belden. After Roviden and Eppie both aided the Rebellion, Imperial Governor Wilek Nereus ordered her son's execution and her mind destroyed using a parasitic insect from the Jospro sector, causing her to live in a state resembling advanced senility; Orn was also eventually killed.

Belden was 132 years old by the time of the Bakura Incident, during which the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker used the Force to reverse her condition. Using her Bakuran underground contacts and her skills as a slicer, she initiated the Bakuran Revolution and personally captured Nereus.
