Veermol Tarkin

"I, Sevran Tarkin, daughter of Grand Dame Veermol Tarkin and Lord Famor Tarkin, granddaughter of Lady Krevlin Tarkin, recognize Jedi Knight Farzala Tarabal, Knight of the Galactic Republic, to address the Council!"
―Sevran Tarkin, to the Quintad[1]

Grand Dame Veermol Tarkin was a female member of the Tarkin family during the High Republic Era. Veermol was the mother of two children—the human twins Navaj and Sevran Tarkin—with their father being Lord Famol Tarkin.[1]

When Sevran tried to endorse the Zygerrian Jedi Knight Farzala Tarabal to speak to the Quintad—the ruling council of[1] the Outer Rim[2] planet Eriadu—within Seswenna Hall in Eriadu City[1] in 228 BBY,[3] Sevran mentioned her mother. Because her restoration into the family had not been completed after being declared legally dead before, however, Sevran's recognition of the Jedi was insignificant. Navaj arrived at the hall shortly after and was able to successfully recognize Tarabal to address the Quintad, mentioning he was the son of the grand dame.[1]
