==Biography==
Harta was an Ishi Tib male who lived in Black Spire Outpost on the Outer RimStar Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu planet Batuu and who was the father of the human woman Salju, who was born around 9 ABY. One of these establishes that Salju is twenty-five years old, and as the events of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge can be placed in 34 ABY per Star Wars: Timelines, she must have been born around 9 ABY. When Salju was young, Harta traveled all over the galaxy and brought back souvenirs and gifts from the places he traveled. One day, the father brought home a pet therii, whom Salju named Elee. He made her a bed of her own so she could be cozy at night, even though Elee often decided to sleep in Salju's bed. Salju enjoyed tinkering in her father's garage, Black Spire Station, and the Ishi Tib often relied on her to run it while he was traveling for business. He also introduced his daughter to the Surabat River Valley, where she would take Elee to play.
In 34 ABY,Star Wars: Timelines dates the Resistance presence on Batuu to 34 ABY. As the transmissions on the Star Wars: Datapad application take place concurrently to the Resistance presence, they must also take place in 34 ABY. on the anniversary of Harta bringing Elee to Salju, Harta recalled an incident where the growing Elee knocked over an oil drum and joked that Salju might love the therii more than him. He later asked his daughter if Elee seemed happy after the woman returned from a visit to see her friend, and he was glad to hear that she was indeed happy.
