Summary

	Gaeriel "Gaeri" Captison was a member of an influential political family on Bakura. Her father, Dol Captison, and his brother, Yeorg Captison, were both senators in the Bakuran Senate. As a result, she was raised in the presence of notable political figures, and with a desire to follow in her family members' footsteps. Educated at prestigious schools on Bakura and the galactic capital of Coruscant for her education, Captison hoped to become part of the Bakuran government, and the death of her parents at the hands of the Empire stiffened her faith in the Cosmic Balance. Eventually elected as a senator, Captison was influential in the Battle of Bakura, ultimately siding with the resistance despite her previous Imperial leanings. During the battle, Captison met with a Rebel Alliance delegation that had come to Bakura's aid when the planet was threatened by the alien Ssi-ruuk. During the battle, she developed an attraction to Rebel Alliance Commander and Jedi Luke Skywalker, which caused her to become a target for Ssi-ruuk capture, as the aliens were trying to obtain Skywalker for their own purposes. Skywalker fended off her would-be captors and the Ssi-ruuk were defeated, shortly after Bakuran insurrectionists overthrew Imperial rule on Bakura. Captison went on to become the youngest Prime Minister of Bakura and led as a staunch ally of the New Republic. She married former Imperial naval officer Pter Thanas, with whom she had a daughter named Malinza. However, Thanas contracted a fatal disease, Knowt's Disease, and the time Captison spent caring for her ailing husband cost her in the elections. She was widowed and out of power when Luke Skywalker returned to her life, having been sent to ask for Bakura's aid on behalf of the New Republic with regards to trouble brewing in the Corellian system. Captison helped him and later accompanied the Bakuran fleet dispatched to Corellia during the First Corellian Insurrection as a diplomat. In the final stages of the conflict, she sacrificed herself and the Bakuran warship Intruder to destroy a large portion of the insurgent fleet that was fighting to secede from the New Republic.
