Shikara

Princess Shikara was a member of the Royal House of Jadalla on Waskiro during the High Republic Era. When her planet became trapped within the Nihil's Occlusion Zone, King Sokidharan capitulated to the Nihil in order to protect his people. In 228 BBY, King Sokidharan held a gala in honor of the Nihil's Eye, Marchion Ro, to thank him for his continual "protection" of his people. During the event, Ro was asked to dance with Shikara, but he refused, instead dancing with the bounty hunter Lourna Dee. When Dee bit Ro's throat, Ro ordered the guests murdered and the palace destroyed, along with the surrounding city.
