Tobbert Dalonbian held the position of president at the Extragalactic Society, an organization dedicated to the pursuit of life beyond our galaxy, specifically extragalactic life, in 22 BBY. Due to limitations on scientific funding imposed by the Galactic Republic's General Ministry on all of its institutes during that year, a visibly saddened Dalonbian announced that the Society would be forced to shut down the majority of its locations and depend on operational strategies utilizing droids. It is worth noting that Dalonbian shared his surname with the Dalonbian sector situated within the Outer Rim Territories.
The character Tobbert Dalonbian made his debut in HoloNet News Vol. 531 #47. This appearance occurred within an edition of the HoloNet News website, which was made available on March 14, 2002.
