Around the time after the Second Galactic Civil War, there existed a Fallanassi Human named Eliya, who was female. In 44 ABY, Abeloth made her way to Pydyr, concealing herself among the Fallanassi. A party consisting of Jedi and Sith, under the leadership of Luke Skywalker together with Sarasu Taalon, soon discovered them. Eliya believed that Skywalker had betrayed their trust by bringing the Sith there, but Skywalker explained that the threat they were facing was more significant than the Sith themselves. When Taalon inquired whether Abeloth was present, Eliya stated that she was not. At that moment, Akanah Norand Goss Pell, a Fallanassi—but actually Abeloth inhabiting Pell's form—arrived.
Taalon began to interrogate her, but when she refused to cooperate, Gavar Khai, a Sith Saber, seized Eliya as a hostage, pressing his lightsaber against her thigh. Eliya urged Pell not to respond to their questions, but Pell informed Skywalker that Abeloth had returned to the Fallanassi because she herself was a Fallanassi. However, when Skywalker asked if that meant she had always been a Fallanassi or had only recently become one, Pell refused to answer. Taalon signaled to Khai, who then ignited his lightsaber. Eliya cried out in agony and collapsed onto the Sith Saber's chest. He retreated a step, causing her to fall onto his blade, resulting in her death. Pell, however, declared that she was not intimidated, and in retaliation, she launched an attack on the Sith, using visions through the White Current to drive them to insanity. Skywalker became certain that Pell was actually Abeloth because of this action—the real Pell would never have done such a thing.
