Background: Tala Durith was a human female who served in the Imperial Army in the Galactic Empire. While on the Outer Rim planet Garel, she participated in the execution of four Force-sensitive families. Having initially joined the Empire to make a positive difference, she was disillusioned by the Empire’s cruelty. Afterward, Durith joined the underground network known as the Hidden Path and began helping smuggle Force-sensitive individuals out of the Empire’s reach. She and other dissidents, such as the Path’s leader, Kawlan Roken, worked with surviving Jedi and others to operate a network of safehouses that moved people to the Outer Rim planet Jabiim to receive new identities. At some point, Durith was stationed in a mining village on the Mid Rim planet Mapuzo as part of the world’s Imperial battery.
While maintaining her cover as one of the Empire’s captains, she and the loader droid NED-B continued assisting the Hidden Path by operating one of the organization’s safehouses and coordinating pickups from the planet. In 9 BBY, Durith traveled to rendezvous coordinates sent to her by the con artist Haja Estree with three Imperial stormtroopers, whom she killed upon arrival to assist her new charges, the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Alderaanian Princess Leia Organa. After escorting them to the Mapuzo safehouse, Durith attempted to flee the world with Organa while Kenobi stayed behind to distract their pursuer, the Sith Lord Darth Vader. However, she later left the princess to rescue the Jedi from Imperial capture, successfully extracting him to Jabiim. Organa, meanwhile, was apprehended by the Imperial Inquisitor Third Sister, who had killed the pilot assisting Durith.
Not long after, she and Kenobi mounted a rescue mission for Organa with the assistance of the Hidden Path, planning to infiltrate the underwater Fortress Inquisitorius on the moon Nur in the Mustafar system. Durith used her officer clearance to access the fortress, overriding an entry port to allow the Jedi to sneak inside. When questioned by a terminal officer and led away from her station, she killed him and continued assisting the Jedi. Durith interrupted the Third Sister’s planned interrogation of Organa, allowing Kenobi to rescue her from a torture chamber. She reunited with the pair and met in a hangar, engaging in a brief skirmish with stormtroopers. The pair successfully fled the fortress with Organa, escaping via a Hidden Path airspeeder to retreat to Jabiim. Having tracked them to the world, Vader attacked the dissidents’ base. In the attack, Durith was shot in the abdomen by stormtroopers and immobilized. She chose to detonate a thermal detonator when Imperial forces continued approaching, sacrificing herself to buy her allies more time to avoid capture successfully.
