Gerin Toda was a young woman who lived on Tammuz-an. She was the daughter of warlord-chieftain Lord Malameu Toda and older sister to the young boy Coby. Several years prior to the Battle of Yavin, Toda's rival King Mon Julpa arrived at Toda's castle offering a charter of peace. Toda, a suspicious man by nature, was reluctant to participate in the peace accords, but Gerin supported Mon Julpa's efforts and convinced her father to listen to what the king had to say.
