Biography
Weya's family was originally from the planet Tuak'Khan, that was not a member of the Senb'An'Tiin Confederacy. Her father Hian'Jin Venn was a sorcerer in one of the local villages, and could heal almost every known sickness on the planet. Still he understood that he had much to learn about the moderm medicine, and medicinal herbs were not always the best way to cure Appendicitis and Hernia, so he was earning money to leave his native world to become a real doctor in other star systems.

It was 54 BBY, when he became acquainted with a woman called Nartya Elesor, that was a volunteer for a humanitarian mission to Tuak'Khan. Together with several her colleageues she was aiding the locals by giving away the necessary medicine and food supplies. Eventually she fall in love with Hian'Jin and marry him on their way to Anarmar.

In 51 BBY their daughter Weya was born. Hian'Jin would like her to become a surgeon, just like him, but eventually she graduated from the Economic department of the Anarmar State University. Later Weya Venn would apply for a post at the Ministry of Economics of Anarmar. Her talents and knowledge made a good impression on Adrio Velenno, who soon appointed her as the Minister on Economics of Anarmar.

In 31 BBY she was captured by the droids of Prolla, that decided to invade Anarmar as a response to their denial to acknowledge the independence of this planet. She was trying to persuade the Prollians, that such an action would do no good to the Senb'An'Tiin Confederacy, but they would not listen. She was held prisoner together with other officials up to the uprising of the local citizens.

In 21 BBY Weya decided to become a candidate in the up-coming elections of the Prime Minister of Anarmar. There were others, who also wanted to become the head of state, but only Duvar Enego succeded.

After the transformation of the Senb'An'Tiin Confederacy into the Senb'An'Tiin Federation Weya Venn became the head of the new Ministry of Economics. She realised, that the system as they all knew it, was gone, and soon decided to leave politics once and for all.

Her fate after 19 BBY remains unknown, but it is possible, that she left for Tuak'Khan.
