House Taneel stood as one of the Ancient Houses of the galaxy, governing the world of Neelanon located within the Senex sector.
During the era of the Clone Wars, [Terr Taneel](/article/terr_taneel/legends], a representative of this noble family, served as Neelanon's senator.

Whether she reciprocated his affections, however, remained unclear to outside observers.
