Ladira, a Devaronian Information broker of the female persuasion, conducted her business in Mos Eisley throughout the era of the Galactic Civil War. In order to attract clientele from opposing sides, she feigned allegiance to both the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. Following the abduction of Momaw Nadon by the crime lord known as Centa Sonhan, Ladira provided the Rebel Alliance with intelligence regarding the whereabouts of Centa Sonhan's sail barge, the vessel on which Nadon was imprisoned. Simultaneously, seeking to maintain her standing with the Empire, she orchestrated an ambush by stormtroopers against the approaching Rebels.
