The Nestmothers of the Shashay was the ruling body of the avian Shashay.
History[]
The Nestmothers feared the Galactic Empire could discover the exact coordinates of Crytal Nest, and forbid most Shashay from leaving the planet. They made an exception with Crying Dawn Singer, a famous artist, because the income from his concerts would help the other Shashay. When the Alliance to Restore the Republic asked the Nestmothers for permission to place a secret base on Crytal Nest, the Nestmothers initially refused, wanting to know if the Alliance could really defeat the Empire before making such a decision. Soon afterward, Crying Dawn Singer was kidnapped, and the Nestmothers contacted the Alliance to ask for help.
