Tola, a Mon Calamari serving as an officer in the Galactic Alliance Defense Force, was stationed on the Admiral Ackbar during the events of the Dark Nest Crisis. During an incident where Leia Organa Solo employed the Force to remove a booby-trapped statue of Admiral Nek Bwua'tu, Tola shielded the Admiral from harm.
