Xeebi was a Rodian female[1] who, along with her daughter, was freed from slavery on the Outer Rim planet Tatooine by the former Naboo Royal Handmaiden Sabé[2] in 28 BBY.[3] Along with the others rescued by Sabé and Captain Tonra, Xeebi was taken to the planet Karlinus in the Chommell sector, where they automatically became citizens.[2] Making her home on Karlinus, six years after being freed, Xeebi met with Sabé's friend and Naboo legislator Saché.[1]
