Coba Dunivee, a female art director and also a concept illustrator, was employed by a Corellian holographic media organization during the time of the Galactic Republic. During the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, she created thousands of pieces that supported the Republic. After the Republic transformed into the Galactic Empire, she started to mentor young propagandists working for the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order. Her artwork was prevalent during the early years of the Empire's expansion into the Outer Rim Territories, and included recruitment posters with titles such as Rise and If the Headgear Fits. When she created Join, she expanded on the use of clone troopers in Clone Wars propaganda, replacing them with an Imperial stormtrooper in an effort to persuade Imperial citizens to enlist. Her last known work was Imperial Campaign Poster 34.371.C, which differed from the typical powerful, brutalist constructivism style seen in her earlier creations. It is believed that this piece was a direct response to the graffiti art created by the Rebel Mandalorian Sabine Wren. Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin did not appreciate her attempt to emulate her rivals and had her arrested on fabricated charges of treason. Following this, she disappeared from all records.
The first mention of Coba Dunivee occurred in Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy, a reference book by Pablo Hidalgo that was published on October 25, 2016.
