Melenna Seltrayne was a Human female who fought for the Alliance to Restore the Republic throughout the Galactic Civil War. Her upbringing occurred amidst the urban sprawl of Ord Mantell, and her enlistment in the Alliance came about after a failed attempt to steal from Koris Haslam. Melenna became a member of Haslam's commando unit, and participated in various Alliance operations, notably the rescue of Gebnerret Vibrion from the Imperial detention center located on Selnesh. She managed to evade harm during a stormtrooper ambush, even though she was clearly visible, and successfully fled the prison alongside her comrades and Vibrion, leading Barsoulentinial Enkhet to declare her the group's lucky charm.
