Tarpeenas

Tarpeenas is a fictional character from the Star Wars universe. She first appeared in the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed in 2008. Tarpeenas is a female Twi'lek who serves as a loyal companion and informant to the protagonist, Starkiller. She is a skilled slicer and operates within the criminal underworld, providing Starkiller with crucial information and resources.

Her lekku, like all Twi'leks, are prehensile appendages that she uses for communication and as a secondary means of manipulation. Tarpeenas is depicted as resourceful and pragmatic, often advising Starkiller on the best course of action. Her past is not extensively detailed, but it is implied that she has a history of survival and operates in morally ambiguous circumstances.

Throughout The Force Unleashed, Tarpeenas plays a vital role in Starkiller's journey. She helps him track down Imperial targets, acquire sensitive data, and navigate the treacherous political landscape of the galaxy. Despite her own survival instincts, she demonstrates a degree of loyalty to Starkiller, driven by a shared opposition to the Galactic Empire. Her knowledge of smuggling routes and hidden bases proves invaluable to Starkiller's missions. Tarpeenas represents a common trope in science fiction of a morally flexible character who aids the hero, offering a unique perspective on the events of the game.
