| abstract | - 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. Following a failed attempt to recover the "false" Yalta Val's lightsaber, relations between Biala and the impostor deteriorated when the latter mobilized her troops without her permission. When Biala protested, Darth Wredd intimidated her by threatening to bring the power of the new Galactic Federation Triumvirate down on her and told her to focus on fixing the G51 communications array. Construction on the Carreras communications array was slow due to problems with the field generators. Impatient at the slow progress, Darth Wredd almost strangled one of Biala's Shifala subordinates. The "false" Yalta Val's erratic actions unnerved Governor Biala who decided to lodge a formal complaint with the Triumvirate authorities. Biala's suspicions of "Yalta Val" were confirmed when he ordered the Carreras communication array to begin moving without consulting her. An opportunity to eliminate the false Imperial Knight surfaced when her security forces apprehended the junk dealer Ania Solo, the Mon Calamari Sauk, the assassin droid AG-37, and the Imperial Knight Jao Assam, a friend of the real Yalta Val who had come to investigate his disappearance. The "false" Yalta Val intended to execute them. When Biala protested, he almost Force choked her. With her suspicions confirmed, Biala freed Jao and her companions and sent them to deal with the impostor. Following a skirmish on the Carreras communications array, Wredd managed to escape to his hidden base on the floating world of Mala where he was able to remotely control the communication array. Revealing himself as Darth Wredd, the Sith impostor outlined his manifesto to destroy the new Triumvirate and attempted to execute the real Yalta Val. However, Darth Wredd was thwarted by Ania Solo who freed and rescued Yalta Val before the Carreras communications array collided with Mala. Prior to the collision, Biala learnt the truth about Darth Wredd and ordered her men to evacuate the doomed space station. Following the Carreras Incident, Biala submitted a report on the recent events in the Carreras system to the Galactic Federation Triumvirate. While Biala was unclear about the full facts, she revealed that a girl named Ania Solo was involved in the destruction of the communications array. In response, the Triumvirate authorities dispatched the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer Animus to intercept Ania's ship and to recover Yalta Val and Jao Assam.
