Palpatine's mother

Legends Linked from 9 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

This woman was the matriarch of House Palpatine, one of Naboo's noble families. She was the wife of Cosinga Palpatine and mother to at least three sons and two daughters. According to her eldest son, she was weak-willed, often acting subservient to her husband.

In 65 BBY, she, her husband, and all her family were slain by her eldest son, Palpatine, after Cosinga Palpatine separated his eldest son from Hego Damask. Afterwards, Palpatine claimed his family's riches and name and continued his friendship—which turned to a Master and apprentice relationship—with Hego Damask.

Palpatine ultimately became Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic in 32 BBY, proving his family's statements on him wrong.
