Jae Neb was a male Sullustan and a member of the Data Seekers, a secretive organization that sought to unravel the mysteries of the Anoat sector's shrouded history during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Caught behind the Iron Blockade enacted by Imperial Governor Adelhard in the wake of the second Death Star's destruction, Neb took to operating on worlds such as Bespin and Burnin Konn. Jae Neb despised the oppressive ways of the Empire, preferring the simplicity of its predecessor state, the Galactic Republic.
