Borna

Borna was a composer who lived during the Imperial Period. A member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the composer's second symphony was a protest directed against the Galactic Empire's administration. The piece was dark and moody.

However, the Empire did not take kindly to such activism, and Borna died while still very young, at some point between 2 BBY and 5 ABY.

Imperial Inquisitor Jerec was a fan of Borna's work. Jerec listened to Borna's second symphony while he reflected aboard his flagship in 5 ABY, enjoying it immensely despite the piece's anti-Imperial connections. He expressed remorse that Borna had died so prematurely, but mused that art and politics did not mix well.

Behind the scenes
Borna was mentioned in a throwaway line in William C. Dietz's Dark Forces: Jedi Knight novella, published in 1998. The character's gender is not established.
