Mel-Pha Renowin was a Human agent of the Sith and a member of the Imperial Intelligence branch within the Dark Empire, she was also the daughter of a powerful Sith, a secret known by few. Over the years she managed to successfully infiltrate the government of the Alliance of Free Worlds and in 252 ABY Renowin leaked the codes of various planetary shields in Alliance controlled territories to the Dark Empire. These actions were vital to the Dark Empire's campaign against the Alliance and to the reclamation of Coruscant, Mel-Pha was retrieved via drop ship during the takeover of Coruscant which allowed her to narrowly avoid capture when her cover had just been blown.
