Legend

this woman was a Captain in the Imperial Navy, serving under Gilad Pellaeon during the early decades of the New Republic. Captain Yage was in command of the Star Destroyer Widowmaker during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was also one of the few officers who gladly accepted the assistance of the Republic after the Imperials were soundly defeated at the Battle of Bastion. After B'shith Vorrik and the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated at the Battle of Borosk, Captain Yage volunteered to escort Luke Skywalker's mission into the Unknown Regions to locate the mysterious planet of Zonama Sekot. Grand Admiral Pellaeon agreed to the proposal, and the group set out for the Unknown Regions. When Zonama Sekot was finally located, Captain Yage and the Widowmaker remained in orbit to protect against any possible Yuuzhan Vong attack. That attack came shortly before Nom Anor sabotaged Zonama Sekot's hyperdrives, when a small ship arrived to recover the Executor. The small ship evaded the Widowmaker's sensors and slipped to the planet's surface to recover Nom Anor before fleeing. Captain Yage was unable to stop the ship, and was unprepared for Sekot's reaction to the sabotage. When the living planet suddenly jumped into hyperspace, the Widowmaker was caught in its wake. Both the planet and the ship disappeared, although Zonama Sekot eventually reappeared near Coruscant. No sign was found of the Widowmaker, and Captain Yage's fate - along with that of her entire crew - remained a mystery.
