Tyla Grant, a physician of the Galactic Civil War era, held the title of Doctor. Following the Battle of Yavin, Grant joined Professor Walter Emanus's archeological dig at the Temple of Exar Kun located on Yavin 4. Ultimately, Grant, along with the majority of the expedition, succumbed to the dark side's influence of the spirit of Exar Kun.
Before its shutdown on December 15, 2011, Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game by Sony Online Entertainment and released by LucasArts, mentioned Tyla Grant in 2003 in the video game. Page six of Walter Emanus' journal contained the reference to Tyla Grant. This was incorporated into the game as part of the "Exar Kun" Heroic Encounter, which was made available with the "Chapter 9" update released on April 3, 2008.
