Brel Ti Vorne was a male miner of the human species who toiled in a spice mine for medicinal purposes. This mine was located on Onoam, a moon orbiting the planet Naboo in the Mid Rim during the Imperial Era. The mine's worsening conditions led Ti Vorne to despair, prompting him to seek aid from external sources. In 3 BBY, he was selected to represent the mine's workers in a meeting with Leia Organa, the Alderaanian Princess, and Dalné, the Queen of Naboo, who arrived with mining equipment as part of a relief effort.
Organa hoped that her gifts to Ti Vorne and the other miners would better their work environment. She was disappointed to learn from him that the Imperial major, a corrupt official overseeing the mine, intended to sell the supplies for his own profit soon after her departure. Remembering Ti Vorne's plight, Organa and Dalné reported the illegal profiteering to Quarsh Panaka, the Imperial Moff.
During the Imperial Era, Brel Ti Vorne, a human male miner, lived and worked on Onoam, a moon of the Mid Rim planet Naboo. He was employed in a mine managed by the Imperial that produced the medicinal spice compound. The increasingly poor working conditions, caused by the corrupt Imperial major in charge, compelled Ti Vorne and his fellow miners to seek outside assistance. In 3 BBY, he was chosen as the representative for the miners in their meeting with Leia Organa, the Alderaanian Princess, and Dalné, the Queen. Ti Vorne welcomed the royals, expressing gratitude for their visit. Organa explained that she had brought crates of mining equipment for the mine's workers as part of her relief mission to Onoam. Organa had been optimistic that her mission would improve the working conditions in the mine, and did not understand the group's apathetic reaction to the supplies she had brought. The princess was disheartened when Ti Vorne informed her that the corrupt major in charge of the mine would sell the equipment for personal profit after they left.
Appalled by the blatant corruption, Organa and Dalné vowed to find a way to help. Ti Vorne remained skeptical but thanked them for their goodwill, telling them about the miners' unanswered requests for external help. Later that day, Organa and Dalné met with Quarsh Panaka, the Imperial Moff overseeing Naboo's Chommell sector, at the moff's chalet on Onoam. The princess detailed the illegal profiteering Ti Vorne had described, asking for action on behalf of the workers. Panaka agreed to assist the miners, surprising both young royals. However, shortly after Organa and Dalné departed the chalet, the building was bombed by freedom fighters working for Saw Gerrera, the leader of the Partisans, resulting in the moff's death.
Organa suspected that the miners' request for outside assistance, which Ti Vorne had mentioned, had led to the attack on Panaka. Ti Vorne received an indirect mention in the sixteenth chapter of Skywalker: A Family at War, a comprehensive biography of the Skywalker family by journalist Kitrin Braves, published sometime after the 35 ABY release of historian Beaumont Kin's book, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire. The work discussed Organa's mercy mission to the miners on Onoam, mentioning her meeting with Panaka after learning from Ti Vorne about the rampant Imperial corruption affecting the workers' conditions.
At the time of Leia Organa's visit to Onoam, Brel Ti Vorne was a tall, thin man with black hair and a beard, fair skin, and dark eyes. The harsh conditions he endured had made Ti Vorne deeply skeptical and apathetic towards events he saw as unavoidable, such as the mine's corrupt Imperial major seizing the miners' equipment. Ti Vorne respected his queen, Dalné, but was more deeply touched by Organa's concern for the Onoam miners' plight. By the time of Organa's visit, Ti Vorne had grown so frustrated with his working conditions that he desired external intervention, even if it resulted in violence.
As a miner on Onoam, Ti Vorne lacked adequate mining equipment. Over time, he and his colleagues gathered supplies for their work, but the Imperial major in charge consistently confiscated them soon after they were acquired. For her relief mission to Onoam, Leia Organa brought safety belts, atmosphere masks, and portable air-purifying force fields to the mine for Ti Vorne and his colleagues, though he doubted they would be able to use the equipment for more than a few shifts. While working as a miner on Onoam, Ti Vorne wore a tattered tan tunic, light-colored pants, a black belt, a cream-colored scarf, and patched gloves.
