The Baliss Family, an Alderaanian noble house of comparatively lesser importance, existed up to the time of the Cold War. Their rise to prominence was primarily due to their skillful cultivation of relationships with more powerful houses, gaining influence through this method. This led to frequent jests among the aristocracy, suggesting the Baliss family had been vassals to nearly every notable noble lineage. After the passing of the Queen, House Baliss chose to remain impartial amidst the ensuing conflict between the houses, opting to await a clear winner before pledging any support.
Nevertheless, the family experienced a setback when their estate was invaded by Killiks, compelling the house's nobles to evacuate their ancestral lands. Consequently, they sought refuge with House Teraan, another family of lesser standing. Duke Yun Baliss saw an opportunity in the turmoil that had gripped Alderaan, transforming the Teraan estate into the new seat of power for his house.
A representative from the Baliss family was present at the Alderaan Peace Summit held at Sendoth Ruins.
In that era, two of the house's flags were visible inside the Pallista Spaceport.
