Zhuniya Molooba

Zhuniya Molooba was a female Mirialan born on Mirial in 26 BBY. In 3 BBY, Molooba joined a small rebel cell on Mirial. Her cell was later recruited to join the Defiance Fleet in 2 BBY. Zhuniya didn’t like the idea of establishing a base on Martupé as she felt that she was abandoning the people on Mirial. She was later convinced by the leader of her cell (Azen Gilardex) that they could do more damage to the Empire and good for the Galaxy if they joined the Defiance Fleet.

In 1 BBY, when The Defiance Fleet was making preparations to relocate from Martupé to Yavin IV, their base location was found out by the Empire. The Battle of Martupé broke out and many rebels lost their lives. Zhuniya survived and made it to Yavin IV safely. However, Azen Gilardex was killed during the battle which deeply saddened Molooba.
