Numa was a Twi'lek female who lived in the city of Nabat on the planet Ryloth during the Clone Wars. Around 22 BBY, the Separatist Alliance invaded Ryloth, during which Numa's parents were tragically killed. While most of the surviving Twi'leks in Nabat were rounded up and taken as prisoners, Numa was able to avoid capture, and lived in the abandoned city and the tunnel system underneath it during the time when the Separatists had occupied the planet.
Later, the Old Galactic Republic launched a counterattack to free Ryloth and its people. During the subsequent battle, Numa befriended a pair of clone troopers named Waxer and Boil, who had been on a reconnaissance to Nabat. After the trio escaped from a group of gutkurrs—which had been released by the Separatist's droid army to halt the Republic's advance—through the underground tunnels, they met back up with Waxer and Boil's squad. Numa showed the company's commander, General Obi-Wan Kenobi, the system of tunnels she had been hiding in, which they used to flank the droid forces controlling Nabat and free the captured Twi'leks. During the battle, Numa was reunited with her uncle, Nilim Bril.
Years later around 1 BBY, Numa joined the Rylothan Rebel Cell that operated on Ryloth under the command of Cham Syndulla, leader of the Rylothan Resistance and Free Rylothan Movement. She also trained to become a Rebel warrior at one point, with Cham considering her one of the cell's finest.
Biography[]
Clone Wars[]
A female Twi'lek, Numa was a young girl who lived in the city of Nabat, one of Ryloth's capitals, during the final years of the Old Galactic Republic. Around 22 BBY, during the time of the Clone Wars, Numa was having fun playing with her friend Lubo in the market while her mother was busy shopping for food. That was when Tronda, a friend of Numa's mother, said that she sensed that a storm was approaching the city, even though the skies were clear. When Numa and her mother returned home, Numa's father asked her why he had found her Tooka Doll in the tunnel system underneath Nabat, which the Twi'lek's used as shelter during storms. Numa said that tooka had followed a "bright eye" down into the tunnels last night.
