"I am Queen Amidala…" - ―Boss Nass and Queen Amidala
A queen was the female ruler of a monarchy. The male equivalent was a king. On Naboo, the queen ruled the planet as an elected leader.[1] Several other worlds, such as Alderaan,[2] Bardotta,[3] and Zygerria, also had some form of monarchy ruled by a queen.[4]
Yram,[5] Padmé Amidala,[1] Jamillia,[6] Neeyutnee,[7] Apailana,[2] and Sosha Soruna[8] all served as Queen of Naboo.
During the Clone Wars, Zygerria and its slave empire were ruled by Queen Miraj Scintel,[4] until she was killed by Count Dooku,[9] and Queen Julia reigned over Bardotta.[3]
By the end of the war, Breha Organa was the Queen of Alderaan,[2] until the planet's destruction by the Galactic Empire's Death Star during the Galactic Civil War.[10]
The Geonosians also had queens, including Karina the Great who served as the secret leader of the Stalgasin hive.[11]
Princess Trios of Shu-Torun became the new monarch of her homeworld shortly after her father was murdered by Darth Vader's assassin droids, BT-1 and 0-0-0.[12]
Some female individuals of the Yalvik species were recognized as queens. During an insurrection on Yalvik Prime, a clone commando squad known as Clone Force 99 met one of these queens, whose stinger was cut off by a soldier named Wrecker. The stinger of a Yalvik queen was considered by some people as a delicacy.[13]
