Legend

a Twi'lek descendant of the Secura Twi'lek clan, Nat Secura the son of Lon Secura. He was the younger of Lon's two sons, but his brother Van died suddenly. It left Nat the prime heir to the Secura clan's leadership. Nat was kidnapped several years after the Battle of Naboo, as part of a plot by Ro Fenn to maintain his stature among the Twi'leks, despite the law which required his death. The Morgukai warriors Tsyr and Bok took him, but they were pursued by the Jedi Master Tholme and his apprentice, Aayla Secura. Years later, Nat found himself under the control of Bib Fortuna, just before Jabba the Hutt's death. When Jabba came to Ryloth to obtain Twi'leki slaves, he had burned buildings in Nat's city in order to force the Twi'leks out of them and into capture nets. Nat had been severly burned in the fires; his lekku had been completely burned off. Fortuna had discovered Nat while looting his house, and had "rescued" him. The Twi'leki survivors never forgot Nat's bravery, and Fortuna had planned to use Nat as his figurehead and as a rallying point. However, Jabba had grown tired of Nat's presence, and was planning on feeding him to the rancor. Fortuna intervened, again "rescuing" Nat, only to have Nat's brain surgically removed by the B'omarr monks and placed in a nutrient jar. Nat's mind railed against the loss of his body, but he eventually came to accept his place. Jabba then threw Nat's body - which had been kept alive by the monks' skillful surgery - to the rancor, seemingly ending Nat's life. Fortuna had planned to find a Twi'lek clone body for Nat's brain, a body that was not scarred and deformed like his original one. He told Nat this, and Nat decided that he wanted Han Solo's body. Fortuna thought that this would be a fitting revenge against Solo, and kept the plan in his mind. However, the death of Jabba and the monks' revenge against Fortuna left both of them disembodied.
