Bala Waleen[3] was a Twi'lek spicerunner and merchant who staged a coup and usurped rule of the Ryloth colony planet Aaloth during the High Republic Era.[1] He was the lover of Lourna Dee,[3] whose father Yudiah Dee was the Keeper of Aaloth prior to Bala's coup.[1]
Bala conspired with Lourna to depose her father as the world's Keeper, and the family's palace was stormed by a mob of starving citizens. Waleen betrayed Lourna, selling her into slavery to the Zygerrian Alliance and having the rest of her family executed.[1]
Dee later killed Bala in revenge in a raid on Aaloth.[1]
