Cordé
Homeworld: Naboo
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Height: 1.57 meters
Info:
Despite no longer being Queen of Naboo, Senator Padmé Amidala was still tended to by a loyal cadre of handmaidens that served as bodyguards and decoys during the galaxy's tumultuous times of uncertainty. Cordé died in the line of duty when would-be assassin Zam Wesell attacked the Naboo Royal Cruiser on its arrival on Coruscant. Cordé was posing as Senator Amidala, while the actual Padmé hid as a starfighter pilot flying escort for the craft. Cordé died on that fog-shrouded platform, apologizing to Padmé with her dying breath.| The term "handmaiden" is more of a holdover from Amidala's royal days. In her role as Senator, Padmé has been freed from the more elaborate of the courtly Naboo protocols. Cordé could more properly be described as a bodyguard, and she is highly trained in that regard. |
