Minister Kafta is an ambassador from an unspecified race. Kafta was one of several Interstellar Alliance dignitaries transported to the area of Beta Durani VII on board the Anla'Shok vessel Valen. After being informed of their destination, Kafta secretly sent a signal to the enemy, and they destroyed the Beta Durani VII colony and attacked the Valen. Kafta and the other dignitaries were jettisoned in lifepods from the Valen before that ship was destroyed ramming one of the enemy ships, and subsequently they were picked up by the other Anla'Shok ship accompanying the Valen, the Liandra.
