Biography . Sometime following 0 BBY , female Zabrak Army Lieutenant and carbineer Aaph Koden of the Rebel Alliance was stationed in the town of Anchorhead on Tatooine . While there , she learned of a potential Force - sensitive woman named Talia Reede . Knowing the dangers of being a Force - sensitive in an Imperial - controlled galaxy , Koden hoped to deliver a warning message to Reede in the form of a datadisc . Eager to notify Reede , Lieutenant Koden enlisted the aid of a spacer loyal to the Rebel cause . The agent fulfilled Koden ' s task of locating Talia Reede in the outskirts of Anchorhead , and handing her the datadisc . When Reede inspected the warning , she expressed surprise at its contents . She doubted her Force - sensitivity , yet assured the Rebel agent that she would investigate the matter further . With Reede thoroughly warned , the agent returned to Anchorhead to report the news to Aaph Koden . However , it did not take long for the situation to intensify . Koden soon discovered that the Empire had learned of Talia Reede ' s Force - sensitivity and dispatched Imperial agents to kill her . Koden , unable to entrust anyone else with the mission , tasked the same Rebel agent who had helped before with saving Reede . The agent once again obliged , as Reede was not yet adequately trained to use the Force to her advantage . An Imperial stormtrooper commander and two of his subordinates scoured the desert around town , but before they could locate Reede , the agent spotted them . A firefight ensued , but the stormtroopers proved no match and were subsequently killed . Koden was pleased that the life of a potential Jedi Knight was saved . Yet , before such musings could become a reality , Reede would need to be brought to Anchorhead to begin her Jedi training . It was too dangerous for Reede to set out on her own , and the agent was sent to act as an escort on Koden ' s behalf . As the agent located Reede , there appeared to be no significant danger . In spite of this , just as the agent closed in on Reede , the two of them were suddenly ambushed by three Imperial sandtroopers . Committed to protecting the helpless Force - sensitive , the agent successfully killed them all , and brought Reede safely back to town . News of the success reached Koden , who commended the Rebel agent as one of the few individuals she could trust — a rare distinction , given Koden ' s overall lack of trust for outsiders . Personality and traits . Koden had fair skin , brown hair , and brown colored eyes . She was somewhat of a suspicious individual , yet placed a great deal of trust in the Rebel agent tasked with saving Talia Reede . It was not until the agent successfully brought Reede back to Anchorhead that Koden opened up to the agent , saying that the Rebel was one of the few people she could trust . Despite her lack of trust , Koden was upbeat in her dealings with the Rebel agent , and totally committed to the task of securing Reede . If someone were to decline a task assigned by Koden , she would be quick to dismiss the person as cowardly , among other things . Indeed , Koden was usually not surprised when people let her down , but she thought considerably better of the Rebel agent who had approached her in Anchorhead . To Koden , the Rebel agent who worked to save Reede was a courageous and adaptable individual . Equipment . At the time of her service in Anchorhead , she wore a gray formal shirt adorned with an insignia representing the rank of lieutenant in the Alliance Army .
