Pollo Tipn, a student of Devaronian history and a mentee of Voren Na'al, was a Devaronian. Almost a decade following the destruction of Mount Tantiss, Na'al recruited Tipn to assist him on a secret investigative journey to the Kathol sector. This mission, sanctioned by Mon Mothma, aimed to probe strange occurrences linked to Grand Admiral Thrawn. Prior to their departure for Exocron via shuttle, Na'al assigned Tipn the task of studying his original documents pertaining to the Thrawn campaign. Tipn then generated an initial report for his professor's assessment, incorporating insights from Na'al's resources and the New Republic records.
Herg, a lively individual hailing from Coruscant, was one of Tipn's fellow students at the university.
