Legend

this woman, a native of the planet Junction 5 some twenty-three years before the Battle of Geonosis, was charged with crimes against the state for her role in inciting rebellion against the Guardians. Just before Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi landed on the planet during another mission, Cilia Dil managed to escape from prison. The Jedi offered to help her in any way they could, and Cilia tentatively agreed. It was then that she revealed her plans to infiltrate Delaluna's Ministry of Offense and Defense in order to steal the plans for the Annihilator weapon. Although the Jedi agreed to help, the mission ultimately exposed the truth: there was no Annihilator weapon at all. The Guardians had used its perceived threat to remain in power, while the Delaluna government had used it to maintain a level of control over the natives of Junction 5. Cilia was thrust into the public forum as a hero, the woman who exposed the treachery of Lorian Nod and brought down the Guardians.
