Leyta "Deadeye" was a Selonian female who resided on Corellia throughout the time of the Galactic War. After her clan was subjected to years of oppression and enslavement by a more powerful Selonian clan, Leyta made the choice to challenge them directly. This confrontation escalated into a gunfight, which concluded with Leyta as the sole survivor, thus gaining her the moniker "Deadeye". To ensure her well-being, her clan determined that she should leave Corellia. Eventually, Leyta found herself working as a mercenary on Tatooine. Viewing the Tatooine Star Fortress of Zakuul's Eternal Empire as the ultimate objective, Leyta offered her services when the Commander of the Alliance arrived with the intention of neutralizing the Star Fortress shield bunker. She organized a ground assault force and aided the Commander in attacking and demolishing the shield bunker. Following the destruction of the Star Fortress, she journeyed to Odessen and officially enlisted with the Alliance.
