Saren Llalik Doctor Saren Llalik was a Human female cyborg technology researcher from Plavin 6 . As an authority in cyborg technology , Llalik was responsible for several quality products such as the Borg Construct Aj ^ 6 . As a secret agent of the Rebel Alliance , she also developed an espionage system to provide the Alliance with sensitive and top - secret information about new technologies developed in the company she worked for , BioTech Industries . Llalik ' s work saved the lives of many Rebel soldiers , and Alliance General Airen Cracken considered himself to be in debt to Llalik . Llalik was also the younger sister of Doctor Nashiak Llalik , a developer of armor technology who , unlike his sister , chose to work for the Galactic Empire . In 2 ABY , Llalik wrote reports for Alliance Intelligence on her brother and another engineer and potential threat to Rebel activities , Doctor Cinto Alaras . Biography . Born on the humid planet Plavin 6 , Saren Llalik was the third child and only daughter of Doctors Nash and Loran Llalik . Her elder brother and middle child of the family , Nashiak Llalik , interested in armors from a young age , entertained Saren during their childhood by telling her tales about the Death Watch and the Sun Guard , and their respective armors . Saren and her oldest brother joined the Rebel Alliance around the same time that Nashiak joined COMPNOR , an umbrella organization of the Galactic Empire . Saren , however , hid her affiliation so she could work as a secret agent . Both Saren and Nashiak became gurus in their respective fields of expertise : Saren as a cyborg technology expert , and Nashiak as an armor technology expert . By 1 ABY , Llalik had become the Director of Prosthetic Design for BioTech Industries , a corporation dealing in medical and cyborg technologies . As a cybernetic specialist working in different experimental designs , she was reputable for the high quality design projects she directed and managed , including the cybernetic implant Borg Construct Aj ^ 6 unit . Llalik worked from a laboratory in a restricted area of BioTech ' s headquarters in the Corellian system , and she also developed a system to provide top - secret information to the Rebel command , including military designs for the Empire , using an unwitting 2 - 1B surgical droid at her lab . Llalik had included an espionage module in the droid , using it to store files about new cybernetic designs . Medical technician Kena Shont , also a Rebel agent , later downloaded the files onto her personal datapad and gave the information to the Rebel command . As BioTech maintenance could not detect the sabotage unless they performed an analysis that only the Director of Prosthetic Design — Llalik herself — could request , her work remained undiscovered . Through her work for the Alliance , mostly by providing the Alliance with secret information and useful new technological designs , Llalik saved many lives and earned the respect of Alliance General Airen Cracken , who considered himself to be in debt to her and even included her in his own contact list . In 2 ABY , while Llalik was on an extended paid vacation , she helped the Task Force on Alliance Security as a consultant on medical and cyborg advances that could be used against the Empire . In that role , she wrote a report on the threat posed by Doctor Cinto Alaras , an engineer with no known political affiliation , and on Rebel agent Sommen , who was working undercover for the same corporation as Alaras . Llalik also wrote a report on her own brother Nashiak , who had become an armor designer for Imperial military projects . In 4 ABY , shortly after the Battle of Endor , Llalik was still active as a member of the soon - to - be Alliance of Free Planets . At that point , she was well - respected because of her engineering work that provided the soldiers of the Alliance with new technologies . Alliance historian Voren Na ' al compared the importance of her work with that of Generals Jan Dodonna and Airen Cracken . Personality and traits . Saren Llalik had advanced technical skills in several fields , including the programming , design , and maintenance of computers , droids , and prosthetics , as well as management , medicine , and cyborgs . She was also knowledgeable in other skills , including alien species , security , and even forgery . Llalik underwent training to increase her physical endurance , and although she knew how to use a blaster and even evade a shot , she rarely carried any weapon . Her equipment included a datapad , a diagnostic computer , a comlink , and a medpac , along with an ID to access her own lab . Llalik was very fond of her older brother Nashiak , and she believed him to be a very good engineer in his field . Not wanting to think badly of him , she also believed he was simply blind to the evil uses of his projects , and not really as cruel as his employers . She also wished that Nashiak would join the Alliance so that she could work with him and share their free time together . Behind the scenes . Saren Llalik was first mentioned in the roleplaying game book " Cracken ' s Rebel Operatives " ( 1994 ) , published by West End Games , edited by Bill Smith , and written by several authors . The book included a graphical depiction of Llalik by Brian Schomburg . Llalik was also mentioned in two other roleplaying books by the same company and co - written by Smith , " Alliance Intelligence Reports " ( 1995 ) and " The Truce at Bakura Sourcebook " ( 1996 ) .
