Shariss Kartur, a female Mirialan, existed throughout the eras of the Cold War and the Galactic War. She shared a close bond with both Risha Drayen and Sumalee, and in their youth, the trio was famously known as "the Triple Threat". As time passed, their paths diverged: Risha became involved in organized crime, Sumalee became a member of the Jedi Order, and Shariss became an Agent for the Republic Strategic Information Service. In 3642 BBY, during the Galactic War, Shariss found herself investigating the actions of the Voidwolf on the planet Hoth. She was eventually trapped by a band of White Maw pirates and was forced to seek refuge inside a derelict shuttle, with no means of escape. Desperate, she successfully transmitted a distress signal to Sumalee, who then relayed it to Risha, who was at the time traveling with the smuggler known as Voidhound. Voidhound and Risha fought their way through the Voidwolf's ranks, and after a heartfelt reunion, Voidhound smuggled the entire shuttle, with Shariss still inside, off the planet, falsely declaring its contents as Imperial salvage.
