Ellberger was a female Human living on the planet Naboo during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. She was a troubleshooter of computer systems for years, which gave her a substantial amount of technical experience. Later, she became a member of the Royal Naboo Security Forces, and served as an officer in the Naboo Royal Space Fighter Corps. During the time of the Trade Federation's invasion of her homeworld Naboo in 32 BBY, Ellberger was part of Bravo Squadron as Bravo Five. She flew an N-1 starfighter called Bravo 5, which had excellent maneuvering capabilities.

Ellberger accompanied the other pilots of Bravo Squadron when Bravo Leader Ric Olié called for all N-1 starfighters to attack the droid control ship that was controlling the Trade Federation's invasion army. During the assault, the weapons on the Naboo pilots' N-1 starfighters weapon systems could not penetrate the control ship's deflector shields, but a young boy named Anakin Skywalker flew an N-1 starfighter into the ship's hangar and fired proton torpedoes into the ship's reactor core. As Skywalker emerged from the ship, Ellberger noticed that the vessel was exploding from the inside. She informed Olié of the event, inducing the surviving pilots to celebrate their victory while they returned to the surface of Naboo.
