Selnia Harbright, a youthful Human female senator hailing from Salliche, proudly represented her people in the Imperial Senate of the Galactic Empire. For almost 300 years, she continued the legacy of her family. Selnia, a woman of vigor, intellect, and assurance, prioritized practical action over abstract concepts.
As the Galactic Empire maintained its hold on Salliche, the Harbright family became aware of the tyrannical nature of Emperor Palpatine and the righteousness of the Rebel Alliance. After the Imperial Senate was disbanded in 0 BBY, Selnia contributed to the Alliance through various clandestine missions, one of which was a mission to gather supplies on Droecil. This mission resulted in a tense standoff with the pirate Black Jack within the depths of Keller's Void.
