During the Galactic Civil War, a Human male named Harbold Taft served the Alliance to Restore the Republic as a spy. Stationed on Spira, a Core World, Taft formed part of a two-person Rebel cell alongside Seth Cambriel, an affluent individual who enjoyed the beach lifestyle. Taft possessed considerable skill in penetrating installations to gather crucial military intelligence, and was a security specialist. He was employed at the Ataria Island spaceport as a clerk within the security offices, granting him authorization to carry a blaster. During the conflict, a smuggler transporting supplies for the Alliance to a designated location on Spira was compelled to jettison his cargo into the ocean after being detected by security personnel. Taft and Cambriel were tasked with retrieving the submerged cargo and concealing it within the wreck, an ancient alien spacecraft that had sunk and become a popular diving destination for tourists.
