Noana Sowrs

Constable Noana Sowrs was a Human female who was the top law enforcement officer on the Outer Rim planet of Taris during the Mandalorian Wars. Married with two children, by 3964 BBY Sowrs had ascended to the head of the Taris Civil Authority and was tasked with dealing with a significant swoop gang problem growing in Taris' Lower City. That year, the graduating class at the Upper City's Jedi Tower was massacred, and while Sowrs spearheaded the search for accused killer Zayne Carrick, the former Jedi Padawan ultimately escaped, a development that led to widespread riots and the Jedi being pulled off Taris entirely. Sowrs' two children were kidnapped in the midst of the chaos, but that soon became the least of the Constable's problems, as the Mandalorian warrior clans besieged Taris in the aftermath of the massacre and Sowrs joined a ragtag resistance group led by Senator Haydel Goravvus based in the Lower City.

In the face of withering attacks from the Mandalorians, Sowrs and the Taris Resistance managed to join forces with the powerful swoop gang known as the Hidden Beks, who ingratiated themselves with Sowrs' group by returning her two children. With the combined strength of the Resistance and the Beks, Sowrs helped plan a surprise attack aimed at assassinating top Mandalorian tactician Cassus Fett, but the Resistance found itself outmaneuvered and crushed in a devastating ambush. Sowrs survived the Mandalorian assault and managed to ensure her children's escape from Taris, but was forced to flee into the rakghoul-infested wasteland known as the Undercity—there, Sowrs was ran to ground and infected with the rakghoul plague by a herd of the beasts, before being slain by Jedi Shadow Celeste Morne.
