During the early days of the Empire, when R2-D2 and C-3PO were involved in a series of adventures, they met the then-15-year-old girl named Auren Yomm. She lived in the Umboo province of Roon, with her father Nilz and her mother Bola. She was an excellent athlete, and was a medal-winning champion of the Roon Colonial Games.

Her specialty was the drainsweeper event. Auren lead a team of three riders -- herself, Gee Long and the droid Bix, who rode their rockhopper beasts through a race track of three laps. At the center of the track was a variable gravity drain that would catch fallen riders. The Colonial Games had great political significance, as the oppressive Tawntoom province tried to cow the rebellious Umboo province. The unscrupulous Governor Koong of Tawntoom tried to sabotage the games by poisoning Gee Long and Bix. His attempts were in vain, as replacement racers Mungo Baobab and C-3PO competed in their place, and won the race for Umboo.

Koong's next gambit was even more heinous. He poisoned the Umboo countryside with rooze, a deadly germ agent. Bola Yomm fell ill because of the contaminated air, but the bungling Koong also managed to poison himself. He called for Nilz, Auren's father and a capable doctor, to concoct a cure. Nilz succeeded, and cured Bola. Koong, however, was to occupied with Imperial treachery to take his cure in time, and he succumbed to the infection and died.

Auren Yomm was a young, dark haired woman with dark skin. She had an athletic build and energetic personality. At the time, she had grown enamored with Mungo Baobab, a trader from Manda.
