Borna was an early classical composer who lived during the Imperial Period, a time when the Galactic Empire rose to power and ruled the galaxy. A member of the Rebel Alliance, Borna's second symphony was composed as a protest against the administration of the empire.
Unfortunately for Borna, the Empire did not appreciate his activism, and Borna died between 2 BBY and 5 ABY.
Borna's music furthered understanding between different species and cultures, and the composer was described as immortal. Despite the anti-imperial themes in the music, Imperial Inquisitor Jerec enjoyed Borna's work, listening to the second symphony whilst reflecting aboard his flagship Vengeance in 5 ABY, feeling the piece was dark and moody. Jerec expressed remorse that Borna died prematurely, but mused that art and politics did not mix well.
