Melnanooin

Melnanooin (//) was a female Iscali Centurion of the Order of Keltrayu.

Recruited into the service of the Golden Empire when her homeworld, Iscandar, joined the Empire in 95 ABY, Melnanooin was one of the first Novices of the newly created Order of the Golden Empire. She studied under the Empire's Queen, Rin Sakaros, as well as her foremost agents, Tariun Sakaros and Keltrayu. She accompanied her mistress to the Battle of Tizgo V, witnessing her instructor Keltrayu sacrifice himself to save Rin.

Continuing her training, Melnanooin became one of the first dozen full Centurions of the Order in 106 ABY. She demonstrated proficiency at mind tricks and chose the elegantly graceful Makashi as her lightsaber style, befitting the natural grace of the Iscali.

Melnanooin took several assignments hunting criminals, her skill at mind tricks enabling her to "persuade" many informants to part with valuable intelligence. In 112 ABY, on a mission to her home planet of Iscandar, it was Melnanooin who discovered another Iscali Force-sensitive, Noelle. Over the next few years, Melnanooin would supplement Tariun and Rin as a parental figure for the young girl.

Melnanooin's final assignment was to hunt down the slaver Zhin-Vel. Paired with fellow Centurion Aquila Corcer, Melnanooin acted on a tip that allowed the Centurions to trace Zhin-Vel to Synno. They found the Zyked criminal, but he reacted more quickly than they had expected, attacking the pair with his quartet of battle droids and a grenade. With Corcer downed by the grenade, Melnanooin attempted to fend off the hail of blasterfire from her attackers, but was gunned down.
