Sal Olbeg, hailing from Dayark, was a Human senator created through genetic engineering. He stood in opposition to Sho'ban Do politically.
As the descendant of an original colonist, Olbeg's genetic makeup was altered for Dayark's environment, granting him nostrils capable of voluntary closure, webbed digits, and fine, short hair. Around the age of thirty in 8 ABY, he was among the senate's youngest members. Olbeg resided in a large estate located near the edge of Rytal Prime.
Olbeg had become aware of whispers suggesting that Do intended to seize control of the Kathol Republic through a coup. He worried that the droid gladiatorial contests held on Pitann were secretly a means to construct and prepare a droid force for this takeover. Consequently, he openly voiced his disapproval of the contests.
During 8 ABY, Olbeg convened with the crew of the FarStar at his expansive home, where he communicated his anxieties regarding Do and the droid gladiators of Pitann. He directed them to Uta T'Cha, a droid programming specialist residing on Pitann, hoping that the crew could uncover proof to damage Do's reputation.
