History
In January 2155, Jahlet was one of two Jelna dignitaries participation in the conference on Earth that led to the founding of the Coalition of Planets. It was there that she met Captain Jonathan Archer for the first time. However, the Rigelians didn't join when the Coalition was founded in March of the same year. 

On March 13th, 2163, Trade Commission ambassador Boda Jahlet was one of the dignitaries participating in the Deneva Conference between the United Federation of Planets and non-aligned worlds to discuss a response to the Mute crisis. There, she met Admiral Archer again, whom she had approached to organize the conference in the first place. At the conference, Jahlet also met Admiral Shran and introduced the two admirals to the Xarantine representative Orav Penap.

On March 17th, Ambassador Jahlet invited Starfleet to setup their task force in the Beta Rigel system to help contain the escalating Mute attacks. Two days later, Starfleet assembled a taskforce at her native Rigel V. (

On March 26th, 2164, Ambassador Jahlet moderated the meeting between Admiral Archer and Commissioner [Soval]] of the Federation and the Rigelian Governing Board.

On June 18, she accompanied Director Sedra Hemnask of Rigel V to Babel to negotiate the admission of the Beta Rigel system to the Federation in the latest of the Babel Conferences. She listened to Captain Malcolm Reed's repot about the crisis in the system. A Zami syndicate was threatening to release personal and state secrets. Jahlet explained Archer how the Rigelian system of using secrets as leverage came about.

Jahlet and Hemnask were still on Babel Station by June 20th, when Admiral Archer tracked them down after an inflammatory speech by presidential candidate Alenthoris ch'Vhendreni to apologize for Thoris's behavior. Jahlet accepted the apology. Later on, she was uneasy during an emotional discussion between planetary representatives during a conference of ambassadors. She explained that Federation law would cripple illicit activities in the Rigel system.
