Elta Besk served as the leader of Dynamic Automata, a corporation specializing in the design and production of droids. She took over this position from her father, Metron Besk, the founder of the company.
Not long after the Battle of Endor, Besk received an invitation to the Pentastar Talks held on the Reaper. Ardus Kaine, an Imperial Moff and the organizer of the talks, suggested establishing the Pentastar Alignment. Besk concurred with his suggestions because she feared that the New Republic's emphasis on liberty might incite rebellion among the predominantly Entymal enslaved workforce utilized by her company.
