Legend

a slight, dark-skinned female human working for the New Republic Intelligence agency, Belindi was noticeable from her jet-black hair and disarming eyes that never seemed to focus on their subject. As a Lieutenant in the NRI, she was assigned to infiltrate the Corellian Sector in 37 NE and try to find out why other NRI agents were suddenly disappearing. She enlisted Han Solo's help in trying to gather more information. Her operation to land on Corellia was compromised, though, and she was forced to crash into the planet's ocean. When she realized that the NRI had been infiltrated, she changed her mission in the field, acting as the unofficial bodyguard for Princess Leia and Solo family until the New Republic security team arrived. She was forced to go further underground when Thrackan Sal-Solo seceeded the Sector from the New Republic. She was 25 years old when Thrackan Sal-Solo rose to power. She was told by her brother, Tindel, that she was a native of an unspecified backwater world in the Outer Rim, but she grew up on Coruscant. After the crisis in the Corellian Sector was resovled, Belindi remained with the NRI, and eventually held the position of deputy director of operations. By the time the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Belindi had earned the rank of Colonel within the NRI. She oversaw the initial interviews with the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan on Wayland, but was later implicated in the "misinformation flap" which arose in the wake of the Battle of Fondor. Her team had provided intelligence enough to point to a Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Corellia, Bothawui, or Tynna. After Tynna was attacked, Corellia was left undefended to lure the Yuuzhan Vong into a trap. However, the aliens attacked at Fondor instead, and the shipyards there were lost. Belindi became something of a scapegoat, and was demoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Nevertheless, she remained a valuable agent for the NRI. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong surrender at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Belindi found herself promoted to Director of Intelligence for the Galactic Alliance after Dif Scaur was quietly forced into retirement by Cal Omas.
