Monjai was a female Elomin who served the New Republic. Following the liberation of the planet Kal'Shebbol in 8 ABY, Monjai was appointed to the post of Governor since it was felt that she would better relate to the large non-Human population on the planet. Monjai's assignment was welcomed by the world's alien community, and she immediately set about rebuilding the damaged infrastructure and crafting some sort of local defense force to ensure the planet's security. Several months later, Monjai greeted the returning crew of the CR90 corvette FarStar after their lengthy mission to track down the former Imperial ruler of Kal'Shebbol, Moff Kentor Sarne.
