The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A superior to Nira's worked as a crystal guard for the Umbaran commandos[2] in 3634 BBY.[1] While guarding and transporting crystals[2] the same year[1] via a train through the void forest, the train got attacked by an alpha slybex and was forced to a halt. She ordered her units to split into two squads and investigate the area. After the slybex attacked the squads, she panicked and fired blaster shots towards the general vicinity of the chaos transpiring. The superior was the last one to scream before silence ensued. She was presumed dead by Nira years later when recounting the story to her squad[2] in 3629 BBY.[3]

Behind the scenes

Nira's superior was first mentioned in[2] the short story "Trading Scars" written by Samantha Wallschlaeger[4] and published in the developer blog for Star Wars: The Old Republic on August 17, 2017.[2]
