Noana Sowrs Constable Noana Sowrs was a Human female who was the top law enforcement officer on the Outer Rim planet of Taris during the Mandalorian Wars . Married with two children , by 3964 BBY Sowrs had ascended to the head of the Taris Civil Authority and was tasked with dealing with a significant swoop gang problem growing in Taris ' Lower City . That year , the graduating class at the Upper City ' s Jedi Tower was massacred , and while Sowrs spearheaded the search for accused killer Zayne Carrick , the former Jedi Padawan ultimately escaped , a development that led to widespread riots and the Jedi being pulled off Taris entirely . Sowrs ' two children were kidnapped in the midst of the chaos , but that soon became the least of the Constable ' s problems , as the Mandalorian warrior clans attacked besieged Taris in the aftermath of the massacre and Sowrs joined a ragtag resistance group led by Senator Haydel Goravvus based in the Lower City . In the face of withering attacks from the Mandalorians , Sowrs and the Taris Resistance managed to join forces with the powerful swoop gang known as the Hidden Beks , who ingratiated themselves with Sowrs ' group by returning her two children . With the combined strength of the Resistance and the Beks , Sowrs helped plan a surprise attack aimed at assassinating top Mandalorian tactician Cassus Fett , but the Resistance found itself outmaneuvered and crushed in a devastating ambush . Sowrs survived the Mandalorian assault and managed to ensure her children ' s escape from Taris , but was forced to flee into the rakghoul - infested wasteland known as the Undercity — there , Sowrs was ran to ground and infected with the rakghoul plague by a herd of the beasts , before being slain by Jedi Shadow Celeste Morne . Biography . Keeping the peace . A native of the planet Taris , Noana Sowrs was a law enforcement officer in the Taris Civil Authority during the era of the Mandalorian Wars . By 3964 BBY , Sowrs had a husband and had two young children , Nahk and Tallie . Sowrs ' law enforcement career eventually culminated in her taking the position of Constable , making her the top law enforcement officer on Taris . In her position as Constable , Sowrs had to deal with increasing problems posed by rampant swoop gang activity in the Lower City . At the time , Sowrs had been helping oversee policing activities by the Jedi Padawan class in training at the Jedi Tower in the Upper City , and was quoted in the " Taris Holofeed " as being hopeful that the apprentices would stay on Taris after they achieved Knighthood to help her keep control of the gangs . Those hopes were dashed when the class was slain in a high - profile massacre at their knighting ceremony — Zayne Carrick , the lone survivor , was blamed as the murderer and , along with Snivvian " accomplice " Marn Hierogryph , became the subject of a massive manhunt . Although Carrick was actually an innocent patsy framed by the real perpetrators — the Masters of the Tower themselves — Constable Sowrs believed the Masters ' story and worked with them in the effort to hunt Carrick and Hierogryph down , promising them that they would be found shortly . Sowrs came through on her promise , tracking Carrick to the Lower City and cornering him and Hierogryph in a desolate trash heap known as Junk Junction . But while Sowrs had them outnumbered and had the power of the Jedi Masters at her side , Carrick and Hierogryph managed to flee in a hidden junk hauler owned by Arkanian Offshoot locals Jarael and Gorman " Camper " Vandrayk , blasting past the police cordon into interstellar space . As Sowrs ' patrol cruiser was not spaceworthy , Sowrs had little choice but to call off pursuit of the craft as it reached temporary safety in an asteroid field . Carrick turned himself into bounty hunter Valius Ying a short time later , and was brought back to Taris to face the Jedi Masters amidst a frenzy of media attention and public fury . However , Carrick was rescued from summary execution by Hierogryph , Jarael and Vandrayk and the four fled Taris for good . Carrick ' s escape destroyed public confidence in the Jedi and in Taris law enforcement , and led to a wave of riots that overwhelmed the Civil Authority . Within three weeks , the riots had reached the Middle City , with rioters kidnapping Sowrs ' children . Little remained to stop the lawlessness — half of Sowrs ' force had fled , with the other half falling back to the Upper City , and the Jedi Tower Masters were recalled to Coruscant . Fight or flight . Within a few weeks , riots in the Middle City would be the least of Taris ' problems . The Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders , who were in the nascent stages of a war for supremacy with the Galactic Republic , took the departure of the Jedi from Taris as a signal to attack , besieging Taris in the first great stab of the Mandalorian Wars . Still searching for her children , Sowrs joined up with a armed resistance led by Senator Haydel Goravvus , which carved out a territory in the Lower City from which it battled the Mandalorian invaders . Although Sowrs quickly became one of Goravvus ' top lieutenants , Sowrs actively worked to sever the Resistance ' s ties with local swoop gangs also fighting the Mandalorians , as she believed that they were responsible for her children ' s disappearances and she still intended on enforcing Tarisian law despite the circumstances . However , as the Mandalorians continued withering attacks on the Resistance ' s territory , the swoop gang known as the Hidden Beks made contact with the Resistance — Zayne Carrick ' s presence with the Bek detachment caused a brief standoff , which was ended when Bek leader Gadon Thek revealed that he had brought Sowrs ' two children with them . Sowrs joyously reunited with Nahk and Tallie , a moment that according to Thek , had been brought about by Carrick , who had returned to Taris to link back up with his old friend Marn Hierogryph — in truth , they had been kidnapped for ransom by one his top lieutenants , Brejik , explicitly against his orders . Thek brought the children to the Resistance base in a police speeder that was also Sowrs ' , and had been stolen during the riots . It was Thek ' s way of ingratiating himself with the Resistance and protect Carrick from Raana Tey , one of the Jedi Tower Masters who was also working with the Resistance , and Sowrs decided to put aside her mistrust of the swoop gangs and follow Goravvus ' lead when he decided to join forces with the Beks . After the reunion , Sowrs , Goravvus and Thek learned that top Mandalorian strategist Cassus Fett had arrived on Taris to personally oversee the siege effort , and called together a meeting of the Resistance and the Beks to form a plan to seize the opportunity and assassinate Fett . Sowrs presented the layout of the Jedi Tower , where Fett had set up operations , and together they outlined a mission where a small strike team , including Thek and Carrick , would scope out the Tower and then detonate the building with explosives if Fett was found to still be in the building . Carrick ' s reconnaissance trip found that Fett had flown the coop , and the Mandalorians instead hit first , striking the Resistance ' s base with a crippling surprise attack . Sowrs survived the initial strike , and in the chaos of the aftermath , paid Ithorian bounty hunter Del Moomo to fly Nahk and Tallie back to his ship , the " Moomo Williwaw " , and from there back to her husband on Alderaan away from the war . There was only one spot left on Moomo ' s shuttle — although the spot was offered to Senator Goravvus , he refused to leave Taris behind , and Sowrs refused to leave him . Instead , Sowrs sent Resistance operative Shel Jelavan along to keep watch of her children , as Sowrs bid them goodbye and retreated from the Mandalorian ambush . The Mandalorian attack was merciless , and forced Sowrs and the remaining Resistance survivors into the rakghoul - ridden wasteland known as the Undercity . Isolated and armed only with a blaster , Sowrs tried to survive in the Undercity , but was eventually hunted down by a large herd of rakghouls which trapped her in a dark corner of the Undercity . A Jedi operative named Celeste Morne happened by and managed to save Sowrs from the rakghouls , only to notice that Sowrs had been bitten , and thus had the rakghoul plague and would transform into one of the beasts within moments . Taking what peace she could from the fact that her children were safe , Sowrs pleaded to Morne to end her life before she changed , but Morne waited until she mutated into a rakghoul to strike her down . Personality and traits . An unforgiving and no - nonsense lawman , Noana Sowrs ' goal on Taris was singular : to keep the peace and apprehend criminals . It was because of this that she held a tremendous distrust of the swoop gangs that inhabited the Lower City , as she had recurring trouble trying to keep them in line and ultimately — and , as it turned out , correctly — blamed them for the disappearance of her two children . Sowrs had every intention of continuing to enforce Tarisian law even as the Mandalorians besieged the planet , and continued to view Gadon Thek and his ilk as criminals even as they fought to free Taris from the invaders . Aside from being the Constable , Sowrs was also a committed mother who did what she could to ensure her children ' s safety after recovering them from the Hidden Beks . However , her commitment to Senator Goravvus and his Resistance superseded her need to stay by their side , as she refused to leave him behind on Taris after the Mandalorian ambush and instead sent her children away from the planet with Shel Jelavan . Despite having to separate from her children , Sowrs took peace in the fact that they were safe away from the war , and her last thoughts before her death were of comfort at their security . Sowrs had brown hair , brown eyes and light skin . Behind the scenes .
