Legend

this strong-willed, teenage girl was one of the two Venerated Ones from the planet Vandelhelm. Her full name, which she hated to use, was Lillindri Nanimei Filda Vandelhelm XXXII. Just before the Battle of Endor, Lilli and Endro were whisked off the planet when it became apparent that galactic power was going to change hands. The children were the last heirs to the Vandel and Helm lines, and were given over to Alliance supporters on Ord Vaug. Following the Battle, Han Solo was contracted to pick them up on Ord Vaug and return them to Vandelhelm, an action which would help restore ore shipments to Fondor. They were necessary because they held the control codes which could be used to move the ore convoy out of the system. After she was voted into power just days following her return, Lilli - just fifteen at the time - showed skills in the area of finance. She lowered prices on refined ores, which did little to make her popular among the Metalsmiths but allowed more buyers to place larger orders, thereby increasing Vandelhelm's income as well as profits. Vandelhelm quickly reach new levels of income from its metal and ore production, but this last only for a few years. Lilli was still a petulant child at heart, and ordered a vast fleet of starships - lovingly named Solo-class freighters in honor of Han Solo - to be built for the New Republic as a gift from the Venerated Ones. This taxed the Vandelhelm coffers, bringing profits to a bare minimum for many years.
