Tiffan Nye, a female Human, was a member of a group involved with the Republic Tarisian Archival Database during the period known as the Cold War between the Republic and the rebuilt Sith Empire. Following the discovery by her colleague Wintag that the entire governing body of the planet Taris was still living, preserved in carbonite, Wintag dispatched messengers to inform Nye, who was located in the city of Olaris.
Nye's initial appearance was in "The Archive" quest on Taris within the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, which BioWare launched in 2012. The game's dialogue information shows that her initial name was "Tiffany Nightsky."
