Biography[]
Odla Sur was a Reesarian that married Phenlass Sur and swore a vow of companionship with the other Reesarian as part of the commitment. The pair joined the Resistance together during its war against the First Order and[1] by 35 ABY[2] they were both stationed in the Resistance base on the moon Ajan Kloss. Serving as both soldiers and scouts, the couple reconnoitered the outlying jungle beyond the base's perimeter using their precise senses, detecting freshwater springs though sound and scent alone. Through examination of the underbrush, the two Reesarians were also able to plot the migratory patterns of local fauna on Ajan Kloss.[1]
In 35 ABY,[2] Odla and Phenlass were in the base under the CR90 corvette[3] Tantive IV[1] when the Jedi Rey returned to base after a training session in the nearby jungle and spoke with Princess Leia Organa, leader of the Resistance.

As they listened, the couple stood together under the CR90 corvette[3] Tantive IV[1] and Odla placed a hand on Phenlass's shoulder while leaning in to speak to the other Reesarian.[3]
