During the third galactic conflict that pitted the Galactic Republic against the Sith Empire, Sal-Deron served as both a Jedi Master and a Human female. Highly regarded within the Republic Strategic Information Service, she distinguished herself as one of their most effective agents.
Master Sal-Deron, a Jedi Master, possessed a unique expertise in reconnaissance and intelligence, skills not commonly found among members of the Jedi Order. This specialization led to her recruitment by the Republic Strategic Information Service to aid in their missions. Initially, many agents doubted Sal-Deron's capabilities in handling sensitive operations. However, she quickly demonstrated her value, earning the praise of Jonas Balkar, who considered her "one of the best covert operators he had ever known." Sal-Deron gained a reputation for successfully completing her objectives, often without relying on the Force, which garnered her respect from both allies and enemies.
When the Eternal Empire initiated its invasion of the galaxy, the information service's operatives assisted her in going into hiding. She then focused on locating former Jedi and identifying promising candidates for the [Jedi Order](/article/jedi_order-legends], a task at which she also excelled. Sal-Deron continued this work even after the Eternal Empire was toppled.
Following the Commander, Arn Peralun, and Aryn Leneer's return from their investigation of Darth Malgus's whereabouts at the old Dantooine Jedi Enclave, Sal-Deron was among the Jedi chosen by Master Gnost-Dural to strategize the Jedi's reconstruction efforts after the war against Zakuul. Gnost-Dural extended the invitation to her, along with Tau Idair and Vinyor Tesh, believing them to be the most vital representatives of the Order.
If players choose the Imperial alignment and decide to side with the Republic, they will encounter Jonas Balkar and Sal-Deron on Nar Shaddaa. During this encounter, Master Sal-Deron will request the player's assistance in safeguarding the remaining Jedi whom she plans to summon back to the Galactic Republic.
Republic players of either sex have the option to attempt flirting with her after the Secrets of the Enclave storyline, but her responses are consistently dismissive.
