Jonda Jae-Talwar was a towering woman distinguished by her white hair, and she once held the position of governor for the region of Garel. She became a member of the Rebel Alliance during the Age of the Empire. Consequently, the Galactic Empire incarcerated her within Ashmead's Lock prison, located on the planet Kashyyyk. While imprisoned, she received an inorganic bio-chip implant, which transformed her into an unwitting puppet controlled by Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax. In 5 ABY, Jonda, along with her fellow prisoners, were freed by a group headed by Norra Wexley together with Han Solo. During the Liberation Day festivities on Chandrila, Jae-Talwar and the other liberated prisoners involuntarily attacked New Republic politicians, government officials, as well as military officers. Jae-Talwar made an attempt to assault Wexley, but she was rendered unconscious during the altercation.
