Galara, a planet situated in the Mid Rim, lent its designation to a warm drink known as galara tealeaf. During the Imperial Era, Galara had established itself as a relatively prosperous world. Around 13 BBY, while infiltrating the Hammers criminal organization on the world of Thorum, Crimson Dawn agent Qi'ra, utilizing the alias Elesa Norre, pretended to be a grain purchaser from Galara. A slicer employed by the operation's Mizi leader fabricated her false identity and associated information. Dennet Clyde, who headed the Hammers, accepted the deception, presenting Qi'ra with an agreement for delweed grain.
The planet Galara received a mention in Crimson Climb, a young-adult novel from 2023 authored by E. K. Johnston.
