House Teral was a noble family originating from Alderaan. This house existed during the time of the Cold War. They maintained close ties with the royal family of House Panteer, and their prosperity and growth had been sustained for generations through trade and their royal connection. However, during the Cold War, House Ulgo seized control of the throne, resulting in House Panteer's downfall and initiating a period of turmoil for House Teral. The Ulgo family perceived the Teral's wealth from trade as a danger, believing it could enable their Panteer relatives to recover. Consequently, House Ulgo initiated a campaign to undermine the Teral's assets and possessions.
King Bouris Ulgo began using his power to destroy House Teral's trade relationships. While House Teral had not been a military-focused house, the Ulgos' attacks forced the Alderaanian family to raise extensive armies to defend themselves. During this time, the Terals were diminished, facing constant harassment and near bankruptcy. A devastating blow came with the death of their diplomatic representative, officially ruled an accident, but widely believed to be the work of House Ulgo, who sought the complete destruction of House Teral.
A peace conference, overseen by Jedi Master Sidonie Garen, was organized among the noble houses, but the Terals lacked a representative to advocate for their interests. The Jedi Consular successfully ended an Ulgo siege on their lands, demonstrating their strength and leading to a marriage alliance between the Teral family and House Organa. To gain access to Master Garen, the Barsen'thor performed tasks for House Teral, granting the Jedi entry to the summit. Alek Teral also enlisted a Republic official to protect his house from a Killik attack on their lands in the Alsakan Lowlands.
