"Enjoy the show. The band is playing a cover of a popular song from Tatooine."

―Mira T'rani, to a spacer

Alitra was a female Zabrak musician who lived during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, she was part of a band that performed in the Bright Jewel system, playing the kloo horn. The band also included two other musicians, Alisia and Mako, and two dancers, O'choa Detera and Mestral. During that time, the band often played music and danced for the patrons of the cantinas of Tansarii Point Station and Nova Orion Station, two space station located near the planet of Ord Mantell, in the Bright Jewel system. The band was known to cover popular songs from Tatooine, including "Mad About Me", "Dune Sea Special" and "Lapti Nek". Although Alitra and the musicians were very skilled, their lack of original songs sometimes drew criticism.
