Amyva Va'new was a culinary Ithorian of female gender. She resided in Nashal on the planet of Talus during the era of the Galactic Civil War.
Around 1 ABY, a spacer sought out Va'new, guided by the advice of Hunde Decan, a Human. The spacer's goal was to discover how to fix a Corellian Fried Ice Cream Fryer. Va'new suggested that Mikfa Faaus, a Gungan living on Naboo, might possess the knowledge the spacer needed regarding the fryer.
Amyva Va'new appeared as a non-player character within the video game Star Wars Galaxies from 2003. This game, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game, was created by Sony Online Entertainment and released by LucasArts. The game was shut down on December 15, 2011. Amyva Va'new was incorporated into the game alongside the "Portable Deep Fryer" collection, which was introduced with "Chapter 9," released on April 3, 2008.
Amyva Va'new played a role in the quest line titled "Find out more about the Cooker" (and the linked Collection Portable Deep Fryer). This quest began when the player examined a broken ice cream fryer. The player was then required to communicate with various NPCs across different planets to gather additional details about the fryer. Upon completion of the quest, the player received a schematic for a Corellian Fried Ice Cream Fryer as a reward.
