Legend

this young woman was one of the original members of the ExGal-4 outpost team sent to the planet Belkadan. The daughter of a bureaucratic father, she was just eighteen at the time, a native of Commenor who hated the oppressive atmosphere of the densely-populated Core planets. Her mother was an astrphysicist who tried to stay out of politics as best she could. Her father was a bureaucrat, and her parents split up when she as still young. Danni claimed that her mother's influence caused her to join the ExGal Society at fifteen, hoping to escape the press of too many people and the demands of government. She thought that she would have her moment of glory when the ExGal-4 station detected an asteroid from beyond the galaxy's rim near Helska, only to find that the asteroid was a Yuuzhan Vong worldship and the advance ship in their invasion of the galaxy. She took the outpost's Spacecaster shuttle to Helska to see what had happened, but was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and held captive. Although she failed to understand the honor she was given by the Yuuzhan Vong, she realized that she was alive and sought any way to escape. She was held on Helska, and was later joined by Miko Reglia. The Yuuzhan Vong tried to break his will by bombarding him with images of his own failure, but Danni struggled to keep him sane enough to escape. They managed to steal two ooglith cloakers, and tried to get off the planet. Miko sacrificed himself so that Danni and Jacen Solo could escape, and they were rescued by Jaina Solo during the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong over Helska. Danni returned to Commenor to rest before rejoining the New Republic's efforts to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. She later accompanied Leia Organa Solo on a mission to Bastion, where they attempted to enlist the aid of Gilead Pellaeon and the Imperial Remnant in battling the Yuuzhan Vong. She found herself more and more attracted to Jacen Solo, despite the difference in their age, and she slowly cultivated a relationship with him. Danni later accompanied Jacen and his uncle, Luke Skywalker, on a mission into the Unknown Regions, where they hoped to find the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. Upon landing on the planet, Danni was amazed at the lifeforce which infused the world. However, the native Ferroans were not convinced of the Jedis' motives, nor was Sekot, the sentient part of the planet. A group of Ferroans attacked their camp and took Danni hostage, and she suffered a concussion in the attack. Sekot had orchestrated the attack to test the Jedi, and both Luke and Jacen were able to convince the planet of their peaceful intentions. Danni was freed, and Zonama Sekot agreed to follow them back to the galaxy. Danni, however, found no solace in the return to the known galaxy, for she had come to the realization that she would never truly be a Jedi Knight. Despite the words of Luke Skwyalker and the examples of her latent ability, Danni despaired of ever truly communing with the Force. Her mood didn't improve even when Sekot specifically requested her presence on the surface when the living planet returned to realspace near Coruscant. It was only after Sekot revealed what it had discovered about its own past that Danni discovered what she wanted to do with her life. After battling the Yuuzhan Vong for so long, Danni elected to remain on Zonama Sekot when it returned to the Unknown Regions, in hopes of learning more about the extra-galactic aliens and their bio-technology.
