Ellian Zahra's parents

At least two individuals were the parents of the human female Ellian Zahra. While Zahra was still young, her parents were killed, along with the rest of her family, in a rebel terrorist attack long before around 1 BBY. Believing that there was no fairness to life as a result, Zahra was forced to survive on her own for some time, eventually signing up at the Imperial Academy to prevent such a thing from happening to others. Around 1 BBY, Zahra mentioned the death of her parents to Governor Wilhuff Tarkin after she passed the test to become his protégé. She later mentioned the death of her family when confronting Princess Leia Organa of the Rebel Alliance in 3 ABY.
