Biography
"She's paid nothing.."

- Dray, referring to Leia

A female Human, Halle Dray lived on the planet Alderaan during the time of the Galactic Civil War, a major galactic conflict fought between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Dray was one of the leaders of a group of Alderaanian refugees that loathed Princess Leia Organa, as her actions had led to Alderaan's involvement in the Galactic Civil War. Palpatine's Declaration of a New Order at the end of the Clone Wars alarmed Bail Organa along with many other members of the Galactic Senate. Because of this, Organa formed the Alderaanian Resistance, an anti-Imperial resistance movement. The Resistance would later be merged and form the Rebel Alliance. Dray fled Alderaan and went to Delaya (because of the destruction of Alderaan), in the Alderaan system. It was the sister world of Alderaan before Alderaan was destroyed. Alderaan was destroyed by the Galactic Empire's Death Star at the order of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, in order to demonstrate the destructive firepower of the battlestation, resulting in the complete annihilation of Alderaan and its inhabitants. At the time of the destruction, Alderaan was allied with the Rebel Alliance.

After Alderaan was destroyed, Dray looked after a young boy named Shell, who had been orphaned during the attack. Later, Dray and her followers kidnapped Organa before a meeting with Alderaanian survivor groups to entice them to join the Rebel Alliance. With Organa with them; Dray and her followers could turn Organa in to the Empire, with a prize of a new planet for Alderaanian refugees. After kidnapping Organa, Dray and her followers contacted the Imperials and turned in Organa for the reward they had long hoped for. However, the Imperials betrayed her and her followers, and they killed most of the group including her in 0 ABY. Leia, on the other hand, would later be rescued by Rebel forces.
