Legend

this member of the Worker faction, on the planet New Apsolon, was one of the many Workers who were imprisoned by the Absolutes for her part in the industrial sabotage exacted against the Civilized and their businesses. Irini herself worked for a Worker newspaper that supported the peaceful protests agains the Civilized. In the wake of the election of Ewane as planetary leader, Irini and many of her fellow prisoners agreed to work as guides in the Museum of the Absolutes. It was Irini who took Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi on a tour of the Museum, when they arrived on New Apsolon to search for Tahl. The Jedi discovered that Irini was a member of a group led by Lenz which had plotted to assassinate Roan, in retaliation for the murder of Ewane. Irini believed that the Jedi had come to New Apsolon at Roan's behest, to serve as his protection. After Roan was killed, Irini agreed to represent the Workers at a political summit to discuss the filling of his position. She then told Qui-Gon that the Workers had information that pointed to a member of Roan's inner circle as his killer, and all evidence pointed to Balog. She managed to convince Lenz to trust the Jedi, and helped to arrange a meeting with Mota. After the death of Tahl, Irini was trailing Oleg in an effort to ensure his safety. She was unable to keep him from being killed by probe droids, and provided information about his death to Qui-Gon. She later revealed that she stole the list of Absolute supporters from Legislator Pleni, after she had been shot by Balog during his attempt to obtain the list. She told the Jedi that she had tried to obtain the list to avoid further bloodshed, as well as to prevent anyone from finding Lenz's name on the list. Balog, after shooting her, took possession of the list. When she admitted that she had been involved in the deaths of Oleg and Pleni, Irini was arrested and imprisoned.
