Selestrine was an Icarii queen and sorceress with precognitive powers captured by the Imperial Lightning Battalion during the battle on Vestar. Selestrine's long hair was intricately woven with jewelry and precious stones worth billions of credits.
[edit] Biography
Selestrine was a psychic Icarii and was also the leader. After the extinction of all the other Icarii, Selestrine tried to kill herself, but her head was saved from the poison she injected into her body. Colonel Abal Karda put the living head in a plain, Kneeb-hide casket and took it with him. However, General Nim received orders to take the casket from Karda and bring it to Darth Vader. Karda, of course, did not allow Nim to take possession (as were his orders) and accidentally killed him. He fled with Selestrine.
Darth Vader hired Boba Fett to find Karda and return the box containing Selestrine's head. Upon confirming what he had thought about the box contained—directly violating Vader's instructions—Fett kept it for himself. However, Vader had followed Fett to Maryx Minor and the two engaged in battle over control of the box. Vader began using the Force against Fett, who kicked the box into a pool of lava. Not willing to let Selestrine be lost, Vader shoved Fett aside Fett and dove for the box, narrowly retrieving it from the lava. Selestrine was greatly disheartened that she had yet again been cheated of her much-longed-for death.
Vader returned to his Star Destroyer and was given two glimpses into the future from Selestrine: one in which Emperor Palpatine betrayed Vader and had him arrested, and another in which Vader rose up, killed his master, and became Emperor. A moment after those glimpses, the Emperor received word of Vader having Selestrine. Vader denied it, killed Selestrine, and sent her remains to be inspected. At last, Selestrine had her final wish fulfilled: death.
