The child of Quermian Senator Nim Tar was taken hostage to ensure Tar would vote against the New Republic launching an attack on Imperial forces on the planet Jakku. Han Solo, Sinjir Rath Velus, Conder Kyl, Jom Barell and Temmin Wexley were able to rescue the child and return them to Tar who subsequently changed his vote to in favor of attacking the Empire and ending the Galactic Civil War.
