Biris J. Te Gaf held the position of chief acquisition specialist within the Engineering Support structure of the Galactic Alliance, stationed on Coruscant.
Te Gaf's duties included the procurement of cannon packs, an item that had garnered substantial negative feedback from the fleet due to their propensity for malfunctions. Upon Jacen Solo's investigation into these cannon packs, he received assurances that random testing indicated satisfactory performance. However, Solo, convinced that the Galactic Alliance deserved equipment exceeding mere adequacy, mandated Te Gaf's assignment to the starship Ocean. This was intended to provide Te Gaf with firsthand experience of the issues these packs caused during active service. Subsequently, the Ocean met its demise in the Roche system.
