Sh'nar Qwasba, a Siniteen scientist and professor of the female persuasion, held the distinguished position of president within the Galactic Agricultural Alliance throughout the High Republic Era. During the annual gathering of the Agricultural Alliance on the Starlight Beacon space station, Qwasba received word from her assistant about a conflict erupting between two scientists from the Alliance in Starlight's central concourse. She arrived just as Ghal Tarpfen, the head of security for the station, used a stun weapon to subdue the brawling scientists. Qwasba expressed her intense displeasure with this intervention, though Administrator Velko Jahen tried to appease her. Their discussion was cut short when Jedi Master Estala Maru called all station staff to the dining facility because of a developing riot.
