Aber, a medical professional from the world of Escalan, belonged to an unidentified species native to that planet. Around 8 BBY to 2 BBY, Han Solo, a smuggler, found himself on Escalan after being shot by Greedo, a Rodian bounty hunter. Two younger members of Aber's species brought the injured Solo to her for treatment. Despite her limited understanding of human physiology, she made every effort to save Solo, who was near death. After a week, Solo regained consciousness and told the doctor his name, but she didn't comprehend and thought his words were odd. Aber then summoned the knowledgeable Elder Sy'Son, who arrived accompanied by another person. As she guided them to Solo, she explained that he had woken up and repeated what he had uttered.
