Welga, a Nautolan woman, held the rank of ensign within the Republic Defense Coalition throughout the High Republic Era. When a distress signal originated from the world of Palagosal situated in the Arkanis sector, Welga joined a mission with the goal of saving the person who initiated the signal. The group successfully located the person who sent the distress call, along with five additional people who were stuck inside a cave located beneath Marl's Good Enough Eats.
