Korlana Toryn was a woman of Human descent, living in the latter years of the Galactic Republic. She was the daughter of Senator Jasso Toryn.
In her childhood, Toryn developed a close relationship with Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk, who was a close acquaintance of her father. She affectionately referred to him as "Uncle Lanni" and regarded him almost as a second father figure. Toryn was deeply saddened when the Cularin system vanished from the galaxy for a decade, specifically between 31 BBY and 21 BBY, as it meant she lost contact with Qel-Bertuk.
During the Clone Wars, her father dispatched Toryn to reside on the neutral moon of Nar Shaddaa. He engaged the services of the heroes of Cularin to safeguard her during her stay. Upon her arrival on Nar Shaddaa, she took residence at the Bespin's Cloud hotel, where the heroes planned to rendezvous with her. However, she instead chose to visit Totor's Party Kave, a sail barge repurposed as a nightclub. The heroes eventually met her there, but the barge came under attack and was destroyed by a band of bounty hunters seeking to claim a bounty placed on the heroes.
Shortly afterward, the bounty hunters managed to capture both Toryn and the heroes. Nevertheless, the heroes successfully broke free and liberated Toryn. Subsequently, the heroes transported Toryn to the Cularin system by spacecraft, where she sought sanctuary under the protection of Master Qel-Bertuk and the Jedi Order.
