Elta Besk was the head of Dynamic Automata, a droid design and manufacturing corporation. She inherited the role from her father, Metron Besk, who founded the company.
Biography
Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Besk was invited to the Pentastar Talks aboard the Reaper. Imperial Moff Ardus Kaine, the convenor of the talks, was proposing the formation of the Pentastar Alignment. Besk agreed with his proposals out of concern that the New Republic's focus on freedom could lead to a revolt among the largely Entymal slave labor used by her corporation.
