Verette was a male human admiral who served in the fleet of the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War in 0 ABY. After Rebel forces led by Princess Leia Organa commandeered the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Harbinger, Admiral Verette was set to captain the Rebel-operated ship, however a week after the Harbingers capture, Organa had still not received word from Verette's Taylander shuttle.
Organa's suspicions turned out to be well-founded; Verette had been captured by the SCAR Troopers of Task Force 99, then strapped to the outside of his shuttle and left to die, and was then sent to the Harbinger as a distraction. Not willing to risk a disaster, smuggler and rebel ally Sana Starros blew up the shuttle.
