Galney (Lady)

Lady Galney was a female Hapan and one of Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo's most trusted aides. In 40 ABY, an assassination attempt took place on the Queen Mother, engineered by a group of traitors to the Hapan crown called the Heritage Council, led by Galney's older sister, the Ducha of the Hapan moon Terephon. The Hapes Consortium, Galney's home, was visited by several Jedi, including Grand Master Luke Skywalker. The Jedi believed that Galney, who watched over the Queen Mother like a hawk, was actually a spy and possibly the one responsible for the assassination attempt. Although she was innocent of any direct involvement in the coup attempt, Lady Galney had unknowingly given classified information to one of her consorts, a traitor to the throne. That information was put to use by the Heritage Council. The Heritage Council intended to overthrow the Queen Mother, attacking her in the battle of Hapes. The traitors were defeated, and Galney was spared from punishment.
