| “ | Palpatine knows we are hunting him. So now... he is hunting us. This day came sooner than I'd hoped -- But it was always inevitable. And because it was inevitable... I planned for it. I have people all across the galaxy. In the Empire, in every syndicate and significant corporation, on every major world, in the Rebel Alliance. They have been bought, persuaded, loved, blackmailed, lied to, told the truth. They are mine, and they are everywhere. I just gave them all the same order. The order is one word. Chaos. Chaos for the Empire, anywhere they can create it. Destruction, disruption, poison down the gullet of Palpatine's machine. And while the Empire staggers, trying to set things right, we will prepare our masterstroke, and all of this will, at last... end. This is my hidden empire. Choke on it. | „ |
| ~ Qi'ra |
Lady Qi'ra is the deuteragonist of Solo: A Star Wars Story..
Qi'ra was originally a street orphan from the industrial planet Corellia who, alongside her partner and lover Han, worked as a thief for a gang called the White Worms.
Eventually, Qi'ra was separated from Han and taken in by Dryden Vos, the public leader of the brutal crime syndicate Crimson Dawn. When Vos was killed, Qi'ra became the apprentice of Crimson Dawn's true leader: the renegade Sith Lord Maul.
Before his eventual death, Maul instilled a sense of hatred in Qi'ra towards the Galactic Empire and the Sith Lords that ruled over it. As the new leader of Crimson Dawn, Qi'ra began plotting in the shadows and gathering allies in the hopes that she could eventually free the galaxy from the reign of the Sith by creating a Syndicate War that would destabilize the order that the Empire had installed.
She is portrayed by Emilia Clarke, who also played Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones. She has also been voiced by Olivia Hack and Tamaryn Payne, the former of whom has also voiced Ty Lee in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Quotes[]
| “ | The central principle to running a criminal syndicate is to trust no one. If you find yourself relying on trust, you have failed. Every interaction I have is a transaction. I give the other person something or threaten to take something away. Then, they do what I want. I don't want to hope people will do what I require. I need to ensure they have no choice. | „ |
| ~ Qi'ra explaining her outlook on relationships with others. |
