The Jafan family were humanoid beings who governed the planet of Jafan located within the Chommell sector. This family had been the leaders of the planet's colonists for a period of three centuries preceding the Invasion of Naboo. They continued to have significant influence, with the family's leader acting as the planetary ruler. In 32 BBY, the individual serving as planetary controller at that time dispatched his daughter, Harli Jafan, to serve as an ambassador at the Chommell sector summit which was hosted by Queen Padmé Amidala of Naboo.
A relative of Harli, specifically one of her cousins, performed as a backup vocalist in the well-known band called Neurotransmitter Affection.
