Sannet Ot'Zien held the position of ambassador representing the Republic to the Orrik Cluster, a region newly recognized as inhabited during the High Republic Era. Before Ot'Zien reached the Cluster in 230 BBY, several Republic patrol vessels were destroyed in the vicinity, leading the Republic to believe the Orrik civilization possessed spacefaring capabilities and a tendency towards warfare. Consequently, Ot'Zien was accompanied by a squadron of Republic starfighters expecting a potential conflict. However, Ot'Zien's entry into the Cluster occurred at the same time as the fall of Starlight Beacon, which resulted in the loss of her long-range communication links with her military escort. Isolated within the Cluster, she was located by an Orrik ship passing by. Attempting to escape, she was caught and boarded. Luckily, she was greeted by a diplomatic delegation presenting gifts originating from the riverbeds of Orrik III.
The tale of Sannet Ot'Zien was recounted by Toa, a Twi'lek historian, to Cal Kestis, a Jedi Knight, within Pyloon's Saloon located on the planet Koboh in 9 BBY. This story served to highlight the idea that history pivots on minor occurrences leading to unforeseen outcomes, and to convey that she would maintain hope for the future irrespective of past events.
