Neri'top'worza'ita'aya

Neri'top'worza'ita'aya, typically referred to as Neri or Worza, was the second president of Riast after its 31 BBY reorganization. She came of age during this reorganization, and was selected at this time by the authorities to be trained into her later position of leadership, though she was not told of this until later. She took power early in 18 BBY, though she had already been in an influential position, and her Separatist sympathies had played a large part in keeping Riast neutral during the Clone Wars. Although Riast had already officially accepted the Empire, Neri engaged in all forms of covert rebellion she could, as did most of the population under her. She was greatly loved by her people by 10 BBY, when she was caught and executed by Darth Vader, becoming a martyr to the populace.
