Legend

this woman, a native of the planet Frego, was the mother of Rutin and Solan Cobral. She held the family together in the years following the death of her husband, until Solan became the leader of the family after Rutin's murder. Despite her family allegiance, Zanita was also fond of Rutin's wife, Lena. She confided in Lena that she feared Solan had murdered Rutin, in order to keep the family's secrets intact. When Lena agreed to accompany Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi back to Coruscant to testify against the Cobrals, Zanita agreed to provide her with inside information in exchange for anonymity. However, their actions were discovered by Solan, who kidnapped her and used her as bait in a trap to capture Lena. After Lena managed to escape the trap and travel to Coruscant to testify against the Cobral, Zanita followed her. Zanita tried to kill Lena as revenge for the death of Rutin, claiming that it was Lena who made Rutin attempt to bring down the Cobral family. Zanita managed to knock Lena unconscious, and would have killed her had Obi-Wan not interrupted. Rather than face trial for her own actions, Zanita committed suicide by stabbing herself in the chest with a vibroblade.
