Dia Dia was a Human female from Taris who served as a waitress at Javyar ' s Cantina during the Jedi Civil War . Biography . In 3956 BBY , Dia was working as a waitress at Javyar ' s Cantina in the Lower City . One day , she caught the attention of a man named Holdan , a henchman for the local crime syndicate , the Exchange . When the drunk man attempted to force himself upon her , Dia defended herself with a vibroblade , scarring him . The incident infuriated Holdan as it humiliated him in front of his friends . His wrath materialized itself in a bounty on Dia ' s head worth 300 credits , and the woman was reduced to hiding in an Upper City apartment amongst illegal aliens . Because of Holdan ' s connections to Davik Kang , crime lord of the Exchange , the local authorities turned a blind eye to her plight . Too afraid for her life to leave the apartment , Dia soon lost touch with the political affairs of the outside world . By chance , Dia met the Galactic Republic soldier Revan , who was hiding out in the apartment next - door . Meeting him turned out to be a twist of fate for her . The former Sith Lord was able to convince Holdan to withdraw the bounty he had placed on Dia ' s head . When Revan returned to Dia to deliver the good news , the grateful waitress offered her family heirloom , an energy projector for a vibroblade , as a reward but Revan refused , telling her that to help her was thanks enough . She was able to return to her normal life just before the Sith Empire bombarded the planet . Personality and traits . When Dia received a bounty on her head , she thought that the most sensible course was to hide away at her apartment indefinitely , refusing to risk even leaving the complex . Though this was motivated by fear , when attacked or faced with unavoidable danger , she believed in — and was capable of — making a brave stand to prove she was not as defenseless as she seemed . She could be defiant and did not shy away from criticizing the misdeeds of others , such as burglary or harassment . Behind the scenes . Dia appears as a non - player character in the video game " " . She is found at the apartment right next - door that of the player on Taris . There are three ways to convince Holdan to drop the bounty and receive light side points : the player can pay him two hundred credits to cancel the bounty , persuade him to cancel without paying , or , if Bastila Shan is in the party , she will use Force persuasion to have him withdraw the bounty should the player fail to convince Holdan him / herself . If the player has Dia ' s bounty removed , she will offer the the player an energy projector upgrade for a vibroblade , telling the player it is a family heirloom . The player can either accept it or either refuse and obtain even more light side points . Alternatively in the dark side option , the player can kill Dia and talk to Holdan to claim the bounty . If Carth Onasi is in the party , he objects to the act in which the player can either rethink his / her course of action or proceed with his / her attack anyways . In spite of Carth ' s disapproval , he will still aid the player in killing Dia due to the particular gameplay mechanics . When the player collects the bounty from Zax , he / she can attempt to persuade the Hutt to raise the reward from 300 to 400 credits , but if this fails and the player insists on pressuring Zax , he / she will be dismissed empty - headed .
