Legend

this Galacian was the King of the Tallah dynasty several years before the Battle of Naboo. He ruled for thirty years before passing away some twenty years before that battle, leaving the rulership of the planet Gala to his wife, Veda. Prior to their marriage, which was arranged by their parents, Cana fell in love with a woman from the hill clans. The Council of Ministry forbid their union, but Cana married her anyway. Before the Council could break the marriage up, Cana's wife became pregnant. The secrecy of the pregnancy was maintained by Cana and Veda after their own marriage. During his rule, several of the more wealthy families began corrupting the government, taking control for themselves while distancing themselves from the poorer masses. Cana was unable to stop it before his death.
