Biala was a female Shifala who served as the governor of the Carreras system following the collapse of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire in 138 ABY. She was involved in the construction of the Carreras G51 communications array, which was the farthest outpost of the new G51 communications array network. During the Carreras Incident, Biala's security forces "rescued" the rogue Sith Darth Wredd, who had impersonated the Imperial Knight Yalta Val. Posing as the Galactic Federation Triumvirate's emissary to the Carreras system, Wredd succeeded in forcing Biala to cede control of the Carreras security forces to him under the pretext of recovering his lightsaber and dealing with an underground Sith presence in the Carreras system.
