Lady Loren, a Human woman, served as the partner of crown Prince Denid of Velmor in the Galactic Empire's initial years. She was matched to Denid in 17 BBY, a time when Imperial operatives triggered a rebellion with the intention of placing Denid's pro-Imperial younger sibling, Anod, as ruler. Thanks to the courage of royal counselor Jedidiah, Denid and Loren fled in a substandard escape vessel; however, their ship ultimately crashed on the jungle planet called Tantajoc V. Loren perished during the crash, but Denid and Jedidiah managed to endure for twenty years in the challenging, untamed environment of their new home. In 3 ABY, when Denid came back to Velmor to take his rightful place as king, Leia Organa, a Rebel leader and one of his saviors, disguised herself as Loren by wearing a blonde wig. This was done to hide the Rebel's involvement in the succession issues.
The initial appearance of Loren was in a flashback found within Star Wars (1977) 49, which was penned by Mike W. Barr and made available in 1981.
