==Biography==
Dav Taffral was a male individual who joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic sometime before the rebellion on Akiva in 4 ABYStar Wars: Timelines dates the events of Aftermath to 4 ABY. and later became a member of the newly established New Republic. His father, Glen Taffral, was a farmer, while his mother had died prior to the events on Akiva. Dav had an older brother, Webb Taffral, who lived on the planet Saleucami in the Taffral house along with their father.
That year, months after the Battle of Endor, Dav returned to the family home on Saleucami to have dinner with his father and brother. The three ate in relative silence, which was broken by Dav asking for a food dish to be passed to him. The Imperial-loyalist Webb refused to oblige, insulting Dav about his rebel affiliation. The brothers argued, and the ensuing brawl was broken up by their father throwing a salad bowl at the wall. Glen ordered them to sit and explained that, in the end, the side they should pick is family because governments would come and go.
Glen was soon interrupted by the sound of TIE fighters arriving over the Taffral residence. Webb reluctantly revealed that he had given up Dav's location to Imperial forces, and his father quickly stunned him with a blaster. Glen asked Dav to affirm his belief in what he was doing. Upon receiving confirmation, he told his son to sneak out the back window and use the speeder bike stored in the homestead's barn to escape. Dav asked what his father would do, and Glen replied that he would tell the Imperials that Dav had shot him. The older man then stunned himself, and Dav quickly fled while Imperials broke down the home's door.
