Buccel Trune was a human^[3] male^[2] who fought alongside the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War^[3] and later became the father of the New Republic Security Bureau officer Sela Trune.^[2] In 4 ABY,^[5] Trune alerted the Mon Calamari Admiral Gial Ackbar about an assassination attempt on Mon Mothma.^[3] After the Battle of Endor, Trune witnessed^[6] and informed Agent Calder Behrens that the Spice Runners of Kijimi have allied with Grand Moff Ubrik Adelhard.^[4] At some point, Trune later lived at a farm on the planet Yungbrii. He was often stoic and distant, but Trune felt that he had moments of warmth. Less than a month after Trune joined the New Republic, her father, along with her mother and brother Gaithel, were killed in the crossfire of a skirmish between New Republic officers and members of the Spice Runners of Kijimi.^[2]
