Funeral of Cha Niathal

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

The funeral of Cha Niathal took place after Admiral Cha Niathal's death in 43.5 ABY. Niathal decided to commit suicide rather than face the charges of dereliction of duty raised against her by Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala. Niathal's corpse was brought to the planet Coruscant for her funeral, but public resentment toward Daala prevented the Chief of State from attending. Several other government and military figures attended the funeral procession, which ran from the Mon Calamari Embassy to the Plaza of the Founders near Coruscant's political district. Journalist Javis Tyrr reported live on the funeral for the HoloNet, and after the procession concluded at the Plaza of the Founders, former Alliance General Tycho Celchu gave the eulogy.
