Jenra, who was also referred to as "the Engineer," was a woman employed by the Galactic Empire on a clandestine initiative. Subsequent to her creation of a deflector shield, she understood the importance of what she had made and deserted the Empire. During 13 BBY, she sold at auction the shield generator; initially, the Droid Gotra won the auction, but the generator was later given back to Jenra through the actions of Han, Qi'ra, and Tsuulo. A second auction was held, and this instance the Kaldana Syndicate became the winning bidder. Jenra held a strong dislike for the Empire, and possessed significant wealth. She displayed poor treatment towards others, with monetary gain being her sole focus. Her personal vessel was a luxury spacecraft named the Red Nimbus.
