Seela Dar, service number 3270-9854BE, was a Human female from Tatooine who joined the Republic Army at the outbreak of the Jedi Civil War. Born to parents who had originally settled on the desert planet as part of Czerka Corporation's initial colonization efforts, Dar spent much of her childhood either helping her parents run their vehicle repair shop, or else wandering the wastes in a patched-up landspeeder and hunting womp rats. By the time she came of age, the Sith Empire of Darths Revan and Malak had begun their assault on the Republic. With Czerka already scaling back on mining operations due to the poor ore and in the face of constant attacks by Sand People, the Dar family used the renewed fighting as an excuse to return to the Core Worlds while Seela herself joined the military.
