Amena Nym served in the Royal Security Corps for many years, rising through the ranks through her tactical acumen and dedication to Naboo. She witnessed firsthand the devastation of the Cataclysm and the terror spread by the Unblessed, experiences that profoundly shaped her worldview and fueled her determination to strengthen Naboo's defenses. She was instrumental in the reorganization of the RSC into the Royal Naboo Defense Force, advocating for increased military training, advanced technology, and a larger, more diverse recruitment pool.
Her leadership during a critical border dispute with a neighboring system earned her widespread recognition and ultimately led to her appointment as Grand Marshal of the Army.
