Jonas Wallen was the senator of Eucer sector during the Separatist Crisis. He was involved in a gambling scandal with fellow senator Char Bibbeck, in which the two senators were accused of betting on which planets would secede from the Galactic Republic.

Laurose was a the child of a worker who served Allehander Pso on the Five Points space station in the Five Points system. They were siblings with Efford. After their mom's indentured service duty expired, Pso sold Laurose and his other workers as slaves to the Galactic Empire. However, Jyn Erso captured the crew of the ship and rescued them.

Melee was a human female who lived in the city of Mos Espa on her homeworld Tatooine as a child. In 32 BBY, she visited the enslaved child Anakin Skywalker with several other children as he was working on a podracer that he planned to enter into the Boonta Eve Classic race. Melee and her companions Amee, Wald and Seek expressed doubts about the vehicle and then left Skywalker.

By between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, Melee was enslaved and worked with Seek and Amee on a moisture farm until Wald and Kitster Banai, another childhood friend, bought their freedom. The group then reminisced about Skywalker around a fire until they were confronted by a group of thieves who aimed to steal energy capsules from Wald and Banai. The pair handed the capsules over when the one of the thieves threatened Melee with a blaster, but the criminals were then slain by the assassin Ochi of Bestoon, who took the capsules and left.





Melee was a human female who was born on the planet Tatooine. As a young girl, she followed the enslaved child Anakin Skywalker around, and in 32 BBY, she and several other children visited Skywalker in Slave Quarters Row in the spaceport of Mos Espa. He was working on his podracer in a courtyard and announced that he was taking part in the Boonta Eve Classic podrace the next day.

Melee was dubious that Skywalker's podracer would even run, and the other children present expressed similar doubts. The boy Seek then suggested that they go and play a ball game, and Melee left with him, Wald, and Amee, leaving only Kitster Banai behind with Skywalker. The latter ultimately won the race and left Tatooine to become a Jedi. Wald and Banai were eventually rescued from slavery on Tatooine by the Naboo agents Sabé and Tonra, who also saw them offworld; however, before leaving, Banai promised Melee, Amee, and Seek, who remained on the planet, that he would return if he could.



By between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, Melee was enslaved with Amee and Seek on a moisture farm on Tatooine. Banai and Wald then returned to Tatooine and, after selling an energy capsule that they had stolen from the Galactic Empire, they gave the money from the sale to the owner of the farm to free all the enslaved workers there. They then sought out their old friends, who were surprised and overjoyed to seem them, although Melee wished that Skywalker was with them as well.

Later that night, the group sat together around a fire and shared tales about Skywalker, with Banai also telling Melee and the others about he and Wald's encounter with the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who had saved the pair on three occasions. Banai and Wald also revealed that they had tried to find Skywalker after leaving Tatooine until the Jedi Order was destroyed, but Melee disputed that anyone could have bested their absent friend and claimed to know he was still out there somewhere. Banai suggested that they find out where but was interrupted by a shot in the shoulder from a group of thieves who descended upon Melee and her friends.



The leader of the thieves revealed that they had killed the vendor that Banai and Wald had sold an energy capsule to and come to claim the rest. When Banai claimed there were no other capsules, the leader threatened Melee with a blaster, forcing Banai and Wald to reveal the remaining capsules they had. The thieves took the capsules but were then cut down by the Sith assassin Ochi of Bestoon, who had been sent by Vader to reclaim the capsules. The assassin took the capsules and acknowledged Banai and Wald, then left without harming them.

When Melee asked about their mysterious savior, Banai explained that Ochi worked for Vader, prompting Melee to once again wish that Skywalker was with them. Ochi returned the capsules to Vader and informed him that Banai and the others had had them but that he had let them live, questioning if he should return to kill them. Vader, who was in fact Melee's childhood friend Anakin Skywalker turned to the Dark Side, told the assassin to leave them be.



Although she doubted that his podracer would work as a child, Melee believed Skywalker was special and wondered how her life would have differed if he had stayed on Tatooine and protected her. Despite the downfall of the Jedi Order he had joined, she doubted anyone could have bested him and so believed that he was still alive by the time that she was freed from enslavement, wishing on multiple occasions that he could have been there with her and her friends. Melee had brown eyes, light skin, and brown hair that she wore tied up in three bunches as both a child and an adult.

As a child, Melee wore a dark red dress when meeting Skywalker. When freed from enslavement, she wore a similarly colored dress over a white shirt with a brown belt.

Melee was portrayed by Megan Udall in the character's first appearance in the 1999 prequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Her name was not stated in the film but was given in the credits. Udall is the daughter of Jeanie Udall, the unit nurse for the film. In the film's script, Melee is not mentioned and Amee says her line instead. The scene in which Melee appears was filmed in Tunisia.

Serj Ukkarian was a human boy who, during the High Republic Era, was a passenger on the freighter Legacy Run, one of thousands of colonists moving to the Outer Rim Territories. Traveling with his parents, Ukkarian was scolded by Captain Hedda Casset for attempting to slice into the starship's archives to access age-inappropriate media, leading him to attempt to retaliate by slicing into the bridge. This led Ukkarian to become a witness to the near-collision which caused the destruction of the Legacy Run in the Great Hyperspace Disaster, which he survived by being inside a sealed passenger compartment. Later, while Ukkarian was recovering aboard the Galactic Republic medical frigate Panacea, Jedi Padawan Burryaga Agaburry, despite Ukkarian not being able to understand his language, comforted the boy and learned what he had seen, persuading him to pass on the information to Agaburry's master, Jedi Knight Nib Assek.

Serj Ukkarian, a human male, was born around 242 BBY. When he was around ten years old, in 232 BBY, he and his parents embarked as passengers onboard the Byne Guild freighter Legacy Run, among thousands traveling as colonists to the Outer Rim Territories from the Core Worlds and Colonies. During the journey, Serj became known to the starship's captain, Hedda Casset, and made several friends among other children onboard.

Ukkarian and his friends eventually exhausted all of the age-appropriate holos available in the Legacy Run archives during the journey, and he attempted to slice into the ship's systems to watch media restricted to older viewers. Encountering Captain Casset in the common area as she was making her evening rounds, he asked her for more media, but Casset, aware of Ukkarian's slicing attempts, reprimanded him for his behavior and warned him that she knew everything that transpired aboard her ship. Embarrassed, Ukkarian and his friends returned to playing an improvised ball game as Casset left the room.

However, Ukkarian had been stung by the reprimand, and decided to retaliate by slicing into the bridge computers and playing a holovid on the screens, to show Casset she didn't know as much as she thought she did. To that end, Ukkarian made his way to compartment eight to do the slicing. He was successful, but right as he gained access to the systems, the Legacy Run ran into a mysterious obstacle right in the middle of the hyperspace lane it was traversing, something which should have been all but impossible. Ukkarian saw the obstacle, something which appeared to him as three lightning strikes, as Casset attempted to maneuver her starship around it. However, the Legacy Run tore itself apart from the strain, and Casset only had time to seal the passenger compartments before her death. Ukkarian's compartment survived, but his parents had been in compartment twelve, leaving him with no idea if they were still alive.

The ensuing Great Hyperspace Disaster imperiled the Hetzal system, as massive amounts of debris was flung out of hyperspace on collision courses, including ten passenger compartments. The Jedi Order and Galactic Republic were able to save the system and all of the passenger compartments flung out of hyperspace, including number eight. Subsequently, the survivors were housed in the Republic medical ship Panacea. Ukkarian, traumatized, blamed himself for the incident and did not respond to therapy droids.

In the midst of recurring Emergences of the disaster, a reception was held aboard the Panacea, on station in the Hetzal system, so its patients could thank the Jedi and Republic personnel who had participated in their rescue. During the reception, Ukkarian was noticed by Padawan Burryaga Agaburry, the Jedi who had first realized there were people onboard some of the hyperspace debris. Realizing the child was in intense emotional turmoil, Burryaga was able to make a connection with Ukkarian despite the fact he, as a Wookiee, could not speak Galactic Basic Standard, and Serj did not understand Shyriiwook. From there, Ukkarian admitted to Burryaga that he had hacked into the bridge of the Legacy Run and seen something of the cause of the disaster. Burryaga brought Serj to his Master, Jedi Knight Nib Assek, and she was able to coax the boy into revealing to her the three lightning strikes he had seen. Upon recovery of the Legacy Run flight recorder during the 40th Emergence, the Jedi and Republic learned that Ukkarian had seen a Nihil Stormship.

Serj Ukkarian was a human boy with red hair and olive skin. Mischievous by nature, he was intelligent and made friends easily, but disliked being told off for doing things he was not supposed to be doing. As a result, he attempted to harmlessly retaliate against Captain Casset when he was scolded for attempting to watch age-inappropriate holovids, believing that she didn't know as much as he felt she acted like she did. The presumed deaths of his parents in the Great Disaster traumatized Ukkarian, and he believed that his actions of slicing into the bridge systems immediately prior made him responsible for the incident. He was able to understand Burryaga Agaburry's body language despite not being able to understand what the young Wookiee was saying.

At around ten years old, Serj Ukkarian was already a talented slicer, attempting to access age-inappropriate holovids from the Legacy Run archives, and then successfully slicing into its bridge systems.

Serj Ukkarian first appeared in the 2021 novel The High Republic: Light of the Jedi.
