A Hapan privateer, Astarta, served as a personal guard to Prince Isolder; she was also female.
Astarta assisted Isolder as he searched for the "pirate king" known as Harravan. Following Harravan's capture, Astarta continued to work with Isolder, heading up his security forces. A Hapan Battle Dragon was under Astarta's command during the Battle of Dathomir. Furthermore, Astarta's inquiry uncovered Ta'a Chume as the individual responsible for the deaths of both Lady Elliar, Isolder's first love, and Kalen, his brother.
Astarta developed feelings for Isolder throughout their time together, enhancing her effectiveness as his protector. Although he knew of her romantic feelings, he did not reciprocate them.
Captain Astarta had left her position by 25 ABY, but she and Isolder remained good friends.
Dave Wolverton conceived Astarta, and she debuted in The Courtship of Princess Leia.
