Nanda was a human female who was a member of the Path of the Open Hand cult.[2] In 382 BBY,[1] Nanda left the Path compound on the planet Dalna with other Path members on the starship Moon of Sarkhai for a mission to the mysterious Planet X to retrieve eggs of the Nameless, creatures that preyed on Force-sensitives. For the mission, Nanda and the other Path members wore flight suits and combat fatigues instead of their robes, which they all usually wore with the three waves of the Force icon smeared on their face in brikal shell blue pigment.[2]
During the mission, the Moon of Sarkhai was destroyed by the Veil—a treacherous atmospheric layer of Planet X with a small degree of sentience—while trying to pass through it to reach the planet's surface, killing Nanda and everyone else aboard.[2]

Nanda appeared in the 2023 novel The High Republic: Path of Vengeance, written by Cavan Scott[2] and released as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic initiative's Phase II.[3]
