A Human female named Lalya Verron existed in the era of the Galactic War. Once a slave, she garnered the interest of Darth Jadus upon his return to Dromund Kaas following his supposed demise, subsequently becoming a dedicated acolyte. Her master dispatched her to Hoth with a specific directive: to withstand the agony and hardship of the frigid environment. Sometime later, upon Jadus's discovery of the Imperial Guard's presence on Hoth and their conflict with the Jedi, he assigned her the task of ascertaining their purpose. Layla reached out to another of Jadus's followers, Cipher Nine, requesting that the agent locate the deceased guardsmen's remains within the Starship Graveyard and retrieve the orders issued to them by The Emperor.
