First section
A Human female, Galia was born into royalty, as the daughter of King Ommin and Queen Amanoa of the Inner Rim planet of Onderon. Galia grew up in her family's Royal Palace in the great walled city of Iziz, during the turbulent period of Onderon's history known as the Beast Wars, where Iziz did battle with a clan of exiled dissidents who used the planet's native fauna as mounts. Both of Galia's were practitioners of the dark side of the Force, although Galia was not a darksider herself. At some point during her childhood, her father took ill with a wasting disease caused by his use of the dark side and was confined to a subterranean fortress, attached to a mechanical life support exoskeleton. One day, Galia caught sight of Beast Rider leader Oron Kira, who was secretly in Iziz trading with the political underground, and the two fell in love. Knowing that the Princess of Onderon and a Beast-Lord marrying was forbidden, she and Kira devised a plan to run away together, where she would be "abducted" by a team of Beast Riders. She would then live with Kira in the wilds beyond Iziz's walls, as she had become tired of living under the pall of the dark side.

In 4,000 BBY, a group of three Jedi Knights&mdash;brothers Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma, and the Twi'lek Tott Doneeta&mdash;came to Onderon on a mission to broker a peaceful end to the Beast Wars. Galia and her mother met with the three Jedi in the throne room of the Royal Palace, and it was there that Galia and Kira put their plan into action. Kira and another Beast Rider, Gobee, broke through the throne room's windows on their drexl warbeast, and along with several waves of reinforcements, successfully made it to Galia's hiding-place and made off with her. Galia was taken back to the Fortress Kira, where her marriage to Oron Kira promptly began. However, the ceremony was interrupted by Doneeta and the Qel-Droma brothers, who Amanoa had sent to retrieve Galia, who stormed into the castle on tamed boma beasts. Ulic Qel-Droma was able to take hold of Galia, but when she revealed that she was willingly marrying Kira, she was released. With the conflict resolved, the Jedi were asked to stay for the wedding banquet. There, Galia, Kira, and Kira's father and grandfather revealed to the Jedi the monarchy's dark side allegiance, and asked the Jedi to join them in one final battle to end the Beast Wars. Although Ulic Qel-Droma wanted to work out a peaceful solution with Galia's mother, the two sides came to a compromise; Galia, Kira, and the Jedi would go to Iziz and try to broker peace with the Queen, but if that attempt failed, the Kiras were to lead a great Beast Rider army against Iziz.

However, their peaceful overtures failed; Queen Amanoa declared that Galia had betrayed her, rejecting the Princess' relationship with Kira. Despite Galia's plea that her marriage to the Beast Rider could mark the beginning of a new golden age for Onderon, Queen Amanoa called the dark side down upon their group. Oppressed by the pall of the dark side and under attack by palace guards, Galia led her husband and the Jedi to refuge in her father's old laboratory. With Cay Qel-Droma still stuck in the throne room, Ulic decided to go back for him, telling Tott Doneeta to escort Galia and Kira to his starship, the Nebulon Ranger. However, instead of joining Galia and Doneeta on their trek to the ship, Kira left to join the battle. The Beast Rider army soon began their assault, but they soon found themselves overwhelmed by Amanoa's dark power. But just as the Beast Riders seemed to be defeated, Jedi Master Arca Jeth, the teacher of Doneeta and the Qel-Droma brothers, arrived in his ship, the SunGem and turned the tide of the battle with the Force power known as battle meditation; a development that Galia observed from Iziz's ramparts. Galia and Doneeta were soon joined by Kira and the Qel-Droma brothers, as Master Jeth landed nearby. The Jedi Master led them into the deepest sublevels of the Iziz Royal Palace to find Queen Amanoa; they finally encountered her by the sarcophagus of dead Dark Lord of the Sith Freedon Nadd. Amanoa died in Galia's arms, leading Galia to blame Arca Jeth for killing her mother. However, Master Jeth explained that Amanoa's dark power had fled her, and informed Galia that she was finally free from the shadow of the dark side. With the Beast Wars over, Galia and Oron Kira had their marriage consecrated under the laws of the Galactic Republic, turning the two warring tribes of Onderon into one unified people. The ceremony was attended by Master Jeth and the other Jedi, as Galia took her place as Queen of Onderon, with Oron Kira as the new King.

Second section
Although the people of Onderon seemed to be unified after the end of the Beast Wars, two years later the newly-minted Queen Galia and Oron Kira faced a new crisis; the Freedon Nadd Uprising. Cult members who worshiped the late Freedon Nadd were in open rebellion in Iziz, and in an effort to reduce the dark side permeation of the city, Master Arca Jeth ordered that the sarcophagi of both Nadd and Amanoa be removed from the planet and placed in a new tomb on the neighboring moon of Dxun. Galia and Kira led a grand funeral procession through the Iziz streets; however, the ceremony was interrupted by a Naddist strike force led by cyborg warrior Warb Null, who entered suddenly through the planet's surface in a groundborer machine. The Naddist soldiers, comprised of dissident members of the Royal Armed Forces, laid waste to Galia's troops. A unit broke off to attack Galia herself, but they were stopped by Oron Kira and a Beast Rider team. In the end, the Naddists were able to obtain the sarcophagi, fleeing the battlefield in the groundborer once they accomplished their objective.

Following the skirmish, Arca Jeth collapsed, overwhelmed by the dark side presence he had felt during the fight. Searching for explanations, Galia suggested they visit her father, who was believed to be dead by Master Jeth, as she believed that he might be able to help them. Galia, Master Jeth, and Ulic Qel-Droma set out for Ommin's subterranean fortress, while Oron Kira, Tott Doneeta, Cay Qel-Droma and Vultan Jedi Oss Wilum stayed behind to secure the Royal Palace. However, after meeting with Ommin, they soon found themselves confronted by the Force ghost of Freedon Nadd, who had been called back from Chaos by Galia's father. Ommin suddenly rose, attacking Master Jeth, knocking him unconscious and smothering him in dark side energy while Galia watched. Ommin then turned his attention to Galia, telling her to stay with him and help her in his work, but Ulic Qel-Droma stepped in to protect her. Warb Null appeared and attacked the Jedi, but Qel-Droma defeated him and saved the Queen. However, while Galia and Qel-Droma were preoccupied with the duel, Ommin carried off the knocked-out Master Jeth.

When Galia and Qel-Droma emerged from Iziz's sublevels, they found the Iziz Royal Palace destroyed. While Kira and the other Jedi survived the Naddist attack, the group was forced to flee Iziz and regroup at the Fortress Kira. While Galia's forces rebuilt their strength for an assault on the Naddists, the Queen received help from the Galactic Republic; due to a plea for help from Ulic Qel-Droma, the Republic sent military aid, including elite Republic rocket-jumpers, to help in their efforts to retake Iziz. By the time the rocket-jumpers arrived, Galia and her troops had been surrounded in the Fortress Kira, trying to make a stand alongside Kira's Beast Riders and the Jedi. The Republic troops succeeded in driving the Naddists back, and Galia and the others took the fight to Iziz. In the end, Iziz was retaken and the Naddists were defeated, with Ommin perishing in the battle. The sarcophagi of Amanoa and Freedon Nadd were recovered, and they were buried alongside the former King Ommin in the Dxun tomb.
