Querit, a senator who was a male Human in the Galactic Republic, served during the era of the Cold War. He fathered a daughter named Ona Querit. This daughter was charmed by the Rattataki criminal Kaliyo Djannis, and consequently, Ona fled Coruscant to be with Djannis. Querit, however, was under the impression that his daughter had been abducted, although he still allowed her access to her financial accounts. Ultimately, Djannis abandoned the senator's daughter on Ylesia, which devastated Ona and drove her to pursue a career as a bounty hunter.
