Verine Ree was a female human First Waver village from the planet Jelucan during the Age of the Empire. She was the wife of Paron Ree and the mother of two daughters, Wynnet and Ciena. Wynnet died during childbirth, leaving Ciena as her only daughter. By the time her daughter was thirteen years old, Verine had found work as a supervisor at a mine. She and Paron took pride in Ciena obtaining a place at the prestigious Royal Imperial Academy and becoming a successful officer in the Imperial Navy. At some time after the Battle of Hoth, Verine was framed for embezzling funds from her workplace. As a result, she was sentenced to six years hard labor in the mines of Jelucan.
