Kona

Kona was a human pirate in the crew of Captain Silvo and took part in boarding a merchant freighter during the reign of the New Republic around 9 ABY. After the freighter's crew had been overwhelmed, Kona and the other pirates joined Silvo at a vault that was supposed to be full of credits, but when it turned out to only contain a single credit, she and the other pirates mutinied against the captain and took him prisoner, making First Mate Brutus the new captain.

Silvo escaped but was then recaptured and brought for judgement on board Brutus's frigate where Kona and others gathered to watch. Although Brutus initially sentenced him to death, Silvo delivered a speech defending himself and promising riches, telling Kona that she deserved an entire fleet to command. The former captain revealed that he knew the location of the treasure planet At Attin, and when he sang a song about the legendary pirate Tak Rennod, it was Kona who provided the final line. Silvo was then spared and the pirates traveled to At Attin.

After finding At Attin surrounded by an orbital defense field known as the Barrier, the pirates captured the Onyx Cinder, a vessel capable of passing through the Barrier crewed by four children acquainted with Silvo. During the boarding of the vessel, Silvo killed Brutus and took command of the pirates again, ordering Kona and the Gran Pax to capture the children. On board the Onyx Cinder, Kona and Pax stood guard over the children while they heard a message from the children's parents. When the children then claimed ownership of the Onyx Cinder, the droid SM-33 aided them by subduing Silvo, Kona, and Pax and dumping them onto the deck of the pirate frigate.

After Silvo forced the residents of At Attin to allow the frigate through the Barrier, Kona led a drop-team on a dropship onto the planet's surface to round up the citizens. She reported their success to Silvo, who warned her not to harm too many of the prisoners, as they would need them to work in the Old Republic Mint located on At Attin. However, after the children and their parents deactivated the Barrier, New Republic forces that they had called for aid arrived and attacked the pirates. Kona tried to retreat to the frigate on a dropship, but the frigate was shot down and the pirates defeated.
