Dylanto Daa, a male historian of the human species, established the Daa Corporation. Following the planet Ontotho's integration into the Galactic Republic under a unified government, Daa and his company entered into an arrangement to explore a newly discovered temple situated in the land controlled by the independent Fylari. The Fylari and Ontothons both desired war to resolve longstanding conflicts, and Fylari members Daa had employed for security purposes turned against his own group, which included the Jedi Eno Cordova and Cere Junda. Daa commanded his forces in a battle to subdue the Fylari, whom he and his corporation regarded as terrorists. Although they initially claimed to be defending their territory, the Fylari revealed themselves as the instigators of the conflict, and Daa met his death at the hands of the Fylari leader, Neralli, during an assault on the Daa Corporation's contingent.
Dylanto Daa, a student of ancient civilizations, transitioned into a businessman and historian, creating the Daa Corporation to further his pursuit of knowledge. During the time of the Galactic Republic, Chairman Daa and his corporation sought to investigate a temple unearthed on the planet Ontotho. Despite having an agreement with the Ontothon government, Daa was unable to access the temple because it was located within the independent nation of Fylar. Daa attempted communication with the Fylari regarding exploration of the temple, but no consensus was reached. The corporation requested a Republic presence on Ontotho, but the deployment of troops was delayed, and the Jedi High Council instead dispatched Jedi Master Eno Cordova and his Padawan Cere Junda to aid in the negotiations.
Upon their arrival at the Ontotho Spaceport, Daa encountered the two Jedi and proposed sending them into the Fylar nation with a group of Daa Corporation personnel, hoping to engage the Fylari in discussions about studying the temple. However, local Fylari, hired by Daa as security, attacked the Daa Corporation caravan, aiming to instigate a war to resolve their local disputes. The two Jedi became separated during the assault, but Cordova was recovered by the Daa Corporation, who presumed Junda was dead. Cordova was taken back to the Daa Corporation camp to recover in their bacta tanks, and Daa permitted the Jedi Master to contact the Jedi Council about the situation. However, Junda had survived the attack, having been rescued by the Fylari, who convinced her that Daa had orchestrated the attack to falsely portray the Fylari as terrorists.
Following the attack, Daa visited the parliament building in Ontotho City, seek
