==Biography==
Qar Jalunn was a wealthy male private investor who was active around the time of the Invasion of Naboo. Around 31 BBY,The Living Force Campaign Guide dates the setting of the Living Force campaign to one year after the Invasion of Naboo. As Invasion of Naboo is placed in 32 BBY by the The New Essential Chronology, the start of the Living Force campaign can therefore be dated to 31 BBY while still in his youth, Jalunn ventured to the Cularin system after being attracted by an expansion in industry on the floating cities of the planet Genarius, the system's third planet. Following his arrival on Genarius, Jalunn invested large sums of money in any business opportunity that appeared profitable, though roughly half of his investments failed. Jaluun also hired pirate groups based in the Cularin asteroid belt to undertake jobs on his behalf.
Jalunn had occasional dealings with the Thaereian military,The Living Force Campaign Guide includes a number of references to Qar Jalunn doing business with the "Republic Military". The Wizards.com article Over Thaere established retrospectively that all references to the "Republic Military" in the Living Force Campaign Guide should be interpreted as referring to the Thaereian military. an armed force from the Thaereian system that had been chartered by the Galactic Republic to maintain security in the Cularin system. When meeting with the Thaereians, Jalunn liaised directly with Tira Wils, the unofficial head of security of the commander of the Thaereian forces in the Cularin system, Colonel Jir Tramsig, because she was the only person who Tramsig trusted to deal with Jalunn.
After the scientist Yush Baskalar was dismissed from the university where he worked for conducting highly risky advanced cybernetics and genetics research, Baskalar caught Jalunn's attention. Julunn immediately offered Baskalar unlimited resources to continue the research that had resulted in his dismissal if the disgraced scientist pledged his services to the Thaereian military. Baskalar accepted the offer and Jalunn had him relocated to the Cularin system to continue his research from new state-of-the-art facilities. Despite being well-equipped, Baskalar found his new working environment to be unpleasant and threatened to leave, however Jalunn persuaded him to stay.
