VeerTa, a Meerian of the female persuasion, held the position of leader for the Home Planet Party located on the planet of Bandomeer. This occurred around 45 BBY. Unknowingly, she assisted the Dark Jedi known as Xanatos in his scheme to obliterate Bandomeer and eliminate Qui-Gon Jinn. Ultimately, she was taken into custody by SonTag.
