The Personnel Division, officially known as the Personnel Division of the Army of the Galactic Republic or the Department of Personnel Action, functioned as a component of the Republic Army during the Cold War era. Its duties encompassed managing Republic Military staff matters and probing for potential indications of disloyalty among its members.
Elara Dorne reached out to Kalor during the Cold War period, following the defection of her brother from the Sith Empire. Dorne's objective was to engage the division to facilitate subsequent interactions with her brother, with the aim of smoothing his transition into the Republic. Conversely, Captain Kalor suspected that Sergeant Dorne was withholding crucial information, leading him to allocate substantial resources in an attempt to coerce her into divulging any knowledge she possessed concerning Imperial society.
The 2011 video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, a collaborative project between BioWare and LucasArts, featured the Republic Army Personnel Division. Its presence was established through companion dialogues between the Republic Trooper player character and Elara Dorne.
