"*If I must be forced to remove myself from the Senate, so be it. However, I know that this war will bring nothing but destruction and loss, and I am ashamed to see so many of you prepared to sacrifice that for your own personal gain. Our Republic is a lasting democracy, and it is sad to witness it fall after all these years.*"

―Hela Naterrie
**Hela Naterrie Verso** was a human female senator who represented the planet Milano in the Galactic Senate during the Republic Era, and the Senate of the New Republic during the New Republic Era. Believing that change was the only hope for the Galactic Republic, Naterrie advocated for the preservation of democracy and peaceful resolutions to the Clone Wars. Although obtaining political influence, her goals made her a controversial figure and she faced opposition by ambitious officials who sought to capitalize off the war. However, her secret marriage to the Jedi Knight Keleran Verso would have a lasting effect on the future of the galaxy for decades to come.

Born in 56 BBY on the Inner Rim planet Milano, **Hela Naterrie** was identified early for her political potential and served in the Apprentice Legislature of the Republic. After devoting herself to public service, Naterrie became the senator of Milano in the Republic Senate in 37 BBY, becoming one of the youngest members of the Senate. While establishing herself as a beacon of hope within the Senate, Naterrie grew close with the Padawan Keleran Verso, who preferred her company over his strict Jedi training. Although the Jedi Code forbade personal relationships, the two became closer as their feelings for each other grew stronger. Following Verso's promotion to Jedi Knight, the couple were secretly married back on their homeworld of Milano, despite Naterrie's own reservations about their relationship and the consequences they would face if the truth ever came to light.

As a result of receiving visions about the destruction of the Jedi Order, Keleran left behind his newly-wed and their expected baby to save the Order. In 35 BBY, Naterrie gave birth to their son Kenan Verso, and intended to raise him on Coruscant while she presumed her duties in the Senate. However, Kenan was discovered to be Force-sensitive by Jedi Master Tark Doon and was taken to the Jedi Temple to begin training. While Kenan advanced in his training, Naterrie started advocating for peaceful solutions to the Separatist Crisis and subsequent Clone Wars. After becoming the target of a conspiracy theory regarding her link to Keleran, which hurt her credibility in wartime discussions, Senator Wes Norven moved for her formal resignation from the Senate.

In the final days of the war, Naterrie witnessed the genocide of the Jedi, which her husband was attempting to prevent, and the transformation of the Republic into the Galactic Empire. Unbeknownst to Naterrie, Kenan and his Jedi Master managed to escape execution and lived in hiding from the Empire. Meanwhile, Naterrie joined the Milano Resistance and fought against the Empire's occupation of Milano. Kenan would play a pivotal role in the early rebellion against the Empire and ultimate Liberation of Milano. With his father's spirit, he became a leading general in the Alliance to Restore the Republic and played a major role in the fragmentation of the Empire. Following the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Naterrie represented Milano once again in the Senate of the New Republic.
