Ni'Korish
- "Your mother hated the Jedi as much as the Emperor ever did, and she would have relished hunting them down."
- ―Isolder speaking to his mother, Ta'a Chume
Ni'Korish was a Hapan Queen Mother whose reign coincided with the early part of Palpatine's rule in the wider Galaxy.[1]
She was known for her extreme anti-Jedi sentiments,[1][2][3] regarding them as a closed elite who monopolised power through their magic,[2] and her grandson Isolder believed that if any Jedi had tried to hide in the Hapes Cluster during the Jedi Purge, she would have enjoyed destroying them.[1]
Ni'Korish had several daughters, including Ta'a Chume, who succeeded her as ruler, and Secciah.[1] Because of her opposition to the Jedi, she gave her name to a clandestine faction which rose to prominence on Hapes during the Yuuzhan Vong War, opposed to renewed Jedi influence, and specifically to the succession of Ta'a Chume's Force-sensitive granddaughter Tenel Ka.[3]
