Larus, a male Twi'lek Sergeant, was a member of the Republic Army. He fought in the Galactic War, which was a conflict between the Galactic Republic and the newly risen Sith Empire. While stationed on Corellia at the Shipwright Auxiliary Spaceport, he enlisted the help of a Republic hero to gather and neutralize bombs that had not detonated, spread around due to a shipwreck in close proximity to the spaceport.
