Vergana

Vergana is the femslash ship between Evaan Verlaine and Leia Organa from the Star Wars fandom.

Canon
Evaan and Leia both grew up on Alderaan. Evaan was mentored by Leia's adoptive mother, Breha, from a young age. Evaan was a royalist, someone who believed in and deeply respected the monarch family of Alderaan. At some point in her adult life, Evaan joined the Rebel Alliance to help fight against the Empire. Leia was already working for the Rebellion, and had been since her teenage years. It can be inferred that Evaan joined because Leia and the rest of the royal family were already part of the Rebellion. Both Evaan and Leia were off-world when the Empire used the Death Star to destroy their home planet. As a pilot for the Rebellion, Evaan flew in the Battle of Yavin and helped destroy the Death Star; the space station that had blown up her home.

Evaan and Leia formally meet after the Royal Award Ceremony. Evaan pledges herself to Leia, as the only surviving monarch of Alderaan. However, Leia tells her that they should work as partners rather then as Princess and servant. The pair decide to set off together to look for other surviving Alderaanians. Over the course of their time together, Leia and Evaan grow closer. Leia eventually suggests that Alderaan should elect new leadership, and recommends Evaan as their new princess.

Evaan would serve as Leia's pilot for many other adventures following their mission to find Alderaanians, including a battle above Kashyyyk that saw Evaan fly the Millennium Falcon. While Evaan still often treated Leia as royalty, Leia was always quick to remind her that they were true friends. In later years Evaan was put in charge of managing Leia's public image. This meant approving any images of Leia used in New Republic propaganda. She was given this role as she was one of Leia's most trusted friends.

Quotes
"Evaan. You're magnificent. Can we cut away all the nonsense and be friends?"

- Leia Organa

Fanon
This ship is considered a "rarepair" due to Evaan being a character that is canon only to the comic books. However, it still has a decent number of fans, with over 45 works for it on AO3. The ship likely sailed as the result of their interactions in the Princess Leia comic series, which shows Evaan dedicating herself to Leia multiple times. Evaan was also one of the first female characters that Leia was shown interacting with in canon, as the Original Trilogy only has one other named female character. This provided an opportunity to fans of femslash ships, as Leia had never had many other options.

Vergana is Evaan's most popular ship, and it is one of Leia's most popular femslash ship. However, it greatly pales in comparison to the popularity of Scoundress, Leia's canon (and most popular) ship.
