The Queen of the Red designated one of the three Quesoth Queens, who governed the Quesoth species. The Quesoth followed a specific pattern: the Queen of the Red governed from the Red City located on the planet Quethold for a period of years until her death, a phenomenon referred to as the "changing of the air." Following this, the Queen of the White would take her place, and upon the White Queen's passing, the Queen of the Black would rise to power. Subsequently, the Queen of the Black would be succeeded by the Queen of the Red, thus restarting the cycle.
During 8 ABY, the current Queen of the Red entered into an agreement with the alien warlord Nuso Esva. In this agreement, Esva agreed to assist her in assassinating the Queen of the White, with the aim of enabling her to maintain her rule indefinitely. Nevertheless, Quethold was later attacked by the military forces of the Empire of the Hand, resulting in the deaths of both Esva and the Queen of the Red during the conflict.
