Noma Sommos

Noma Sommos was a female admiral in the Republic Navy who served in the Outer Rim during the Mandalorian Wars. In 3964 BBY, Sommos was present on the front lines of the Galactic Republic's war with the Mandalorian warrior clans when the Mandalorians began a massive offensive aimed at taking the valuable world of Taris. Sommos and Admiral Jimas Veltraa reformed what was left of the Outer Rim fleets into a force meant to protect Taris, but the Mandalorians were still able to overcome them and besiege the world. Although Sommos survived the fighting, she was gravely wounded and sent to recover at a field hospital on the planet Wayland, later filing a formal complaint about the presence of fringers in Republic naval groups.
