Allura was a female entertainer of the Human species. She made her home on Tatooine during the period of the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin, Allura took up residence in Mos Eisley, where she would perform her act inside Chalmun's Cantina. In the year 1 ABY, Allura's path crossed with that of a spacer in the cantina. This spacer, seeking employment, had been referred by Trehla Keelo, a friend of Allura's. Consequently, Allura decided to impart some of her dance knowledge to the newly arrived spacer.
Within the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, Allura existed as a non-player character. This game was a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game. Sony Online Entertainment developed it, and LucasArts published it. The game was shut down on December 15, 2011.
Allura was integrated into the game through the "Publish 17" update, released on May 26, 2005. She played a role in an initial questline designed to guide new players who appeared on Tatooine after finishing the "New Player Tutorial," assisting them in selecting their "profession." Allura's quest was removed from the game when the "profession" system was reworked with the release of "Publish 25," also known as the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.
