Terneh Oegonar was a male Duros from Yanibar. His family, a group of shipwrights. had fled to Yanibar during the height of the Galactic Civil War as Imperial xenophobia reached a fever pitch. Terneh was mildly Force-sensitive, and Yanibar hoped to employ both his family's shipbuilding skills as well as Terneh's Force-sensitivity. However, his potential never truly developed to the point where he could consider himself a true Force-user. Instead of following any of the many Force-using traditions on Yanibar, Terneh instead joined the Yanibar Guard in an impulsive youthful decision.
