Biography
Korr Sella served as a commander in the Resistance, under the command of General Leia Organa, during their conflict with the First Order. Because Organa, who predicted the threat that the First Order posed to the New Republic, had been labeled as a warmonger and had her reputation damaged by the Galactic Senate, Organa used Sella as an envoy between the Resistance and the New Republic. The Republic believed that the First Order would not pose a threat to them so long as they abided by the dictates of the Galactic Concordance, signed nearly three decades earlier by the Republic and the Galactic Empire at the end of the Galactic Civil War, but the Resistance learned that the First Order intended to destroy the Republic. Organa sent Sella to make a case for direction Republic action against the First Order&mdash;the Resistance was tacitly sanctioned by the New Republic but nonetheless not fully supported.

While attempting to convince the Republic to devote military resources to prevent the First Order's march to war, Sella was on Hosnian Prime, the capital of the New Republic, when it was targeted by Starkiller Base, a superweapon utilized by the First Order. The Starkiller weapon fired on the planets of the Hosnian system, destroying them and killing Sella with them.
