Jens Cross, a female Human, was the offspring of Davim Cross, the Republic Ambassador, and his wife. She was also the younger sibling of Jahan Cross, an agent working for Imperial Intelligence.
As the Clone Wars drew to a close, during the Battle of Coruscant, Jens' mother perished. Simultaneously, Jens was abducted to the lower regions of Coruscant by the planet's inhabitants, who surfaced to exploit the battle's chaos for looting. Jahan, although only slightly older than Jens, tracked them down into the depths of Coruscant, eliminating numerous criminals, but tragically arrived too late to rescue his sister. The loss of his cherished sister cast a long shadow over Jahan's subsequent life.
