Lon Bennor was a male who lived in the city of Domaz on the planet Kolatill, located within the Kathol sector of the Outer Rim Territories. In 8 ABY, Domaz was assaulted by TIE bombers from the Imperial Ton-Falk-class escort carrier Kathol Protector. The attack was in retaliation for the population of Kolatill overthrowing their Imperial governor in the wake of the New Republic's liberation of the nearby planet of Kal'Shebbol. With the city devastated, Bennor began to organize relief efforts from a park that had been converted into an emergency aid station. He accepted help from the crew of the New Republic vessel FarStar—who had responded to a distress call from the planet—in providing medical assistance and enlisted their services to retrieve more supplies from a bombed-out hospital.
