Lamia was a female being and a remote relative of the human Pijali Crown Princess named Fanry. In the year 40 BBY, she found herself on the Inner Rim planet of Pijal not long after Fanry's coronation as queen, an event that was quickly followed by a failed uprising against the Czerka Corporation, a powerful entity that exerted considerable influence over the world.
Following this event, Fanry reluctantly gave up her role in the Pijali monarchy, which allowed Lamia to briefly take the throne as monarch. Queen Lamia's time as ruler was short, lasting only a few hours, but she used this time to enact significant changes: she signed agreements that transformed the planet's monarchy into a democratic Assembly, she banned slavery throughout the Pijal system, and she established the Pijal Hyperspace Corridor as a new hyperspace route.
The character of Lamia is referenced in Master & Apprentice, a novel from 2019 authored by Claudia Gray.
