Sa'Kalla

Sa'Kalla was a young Drabatan singer who spoke out against the Galactic Empire's tyranny by 1 BBY. In retaliation, the Empire blockaded her home planet of Pipada and held her in captivity, where she was tortured. A movement was organized in her name that opposed the Empire. As the movement began to threaten the Imperial occupation, Sa'Kalla was brought to the Pipada Auditorium by the Imperial governor. There, she urged her people to continue fighting before she was quickly killed on stage in front of the crowd. Her death inspired the Drabatans to rise up against the Empire.
