Thella, a female Human, commanded a Rebel Alliance Infiltrator unit.
She spearheaded a mission with her six subordinates to Kelada with the objective of acquiring the sector fleet schematics. Although they successfully obtained the encrypted data, the Imperials detected their presence, resulting in an injury to one of her squad members during their departure. Subsequently, the Imperials reacted by sealing off Thella's transport utilizing two squads of stormtroopers, and thoroughly searching the starport for her remaining team.
Despite the adversity her team faced, Thella resolved to secure their escape from the planet. She learned about a local infochant known as "The Finder," hoping he could assist them. While her team concealed themselves, Thella, accompanied by her first officer Huffreys, sought out the infochant at the well-known cantina, Lorana's Labyrinth. The infochant, actually a Twi'lek named Loh'khar, surprisingly knew of her situation. Loh'khar bartered for a duplicate of the stolen data, and in exchange, provided her with an Emdee medical droid, a decryption device for the encoded data, and connected her with the smuggler Platt Okeefe, who was indebted to him. Okeefe piloted Thella and her team past the Imperial blockade of Kelada aboard his vessel, the Last Chance, taking them to the remote world of Gelgelar.
