In the year 5 BBY, Mon Mothma, the Chandrilan Senator, initiated a Chandrilan charitable outreach program. This program was designed to channel finances toward supporting Luthen Rael's rebel network, Rael being the proprietor of an gallery. To assist in this endeavor, she enlisted Tay Kolma, a Chandrilan banker, requesting he assume the role of chairman for the charitable foundation and collaborate with her in securing financial backing for the rebellion.
