Tala, a pilot (of the female persuasion), collaborated with the Drall duo of Gus and Conevor amidst the backdrop of the Galactic Civil War. In the midst of this conflict, Conevor wagered his own starship, confident in Tala's racing prowess. This led to Jostero, head of the Silestro Privateers, issuing a challenge for a swoop race. As the race neared its conclusion, Gus revealed to Conevor that regardless of who won, the privateers intended to kill them and seize their possessions. Tala emerged victorious, but before the privateers could launch their assault on the group, a speeder from the Corellian Security Force appeared, causing everyone to scatter.
