Aerin Dlarit was a male Human and the father of former New Republic Rogue Squadron pilot Erisi Dlarit. After his family's faction, the Xucphra Corporation, ousted its rival, the Zaltin Corporation, and took over the planet Thyferra, Dlarit was appointed as a general in the Thyferran Home Defense Corps, the local military created by former Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard to help augment the forces she had brought to Thyferra after fleeing from Coruscant.
