Lanish Ran

Agent Lanish Ran, previously under the command of Colonel Dessin, was a covert operative. Once upon a time, he disguised himself as an Imperial technician at a repair facility situated on Banir Avenue within the city of Forak, located on Trandosha. It was there that he first encountered Nakaron, the Trandoshan mercenary.

Subsequently, Ran was assigned to infiltrate Glorga's organization on Hollast VII, acting as one of the Hutt's trusted lieutenants. Nakaron was also a presence within Glorga's court. Ran was committed to demonstrating his allegiance to the Hutt, but he feared that Nakaron would expose him as an agent of the Alliance. Conversely, Nakaron was under the impression that Ran was a spy for the Empire and sought to prove it.

During the events of the Second Hollastin Insurrection, smugglers launched an assault on Glorga the Hutt, aiming to capitalize on the resulting chaos. Nakaron stepped in to defend Glorga, eliminating two of the smugglers, while Ran took out eight others. Now fully convinced that Ran was an Imperial operative, Nakaron attempted to convince Glorga of this while Ran was at the Spilgan complex extorting protection money from port merchants. Glorga reacted unfavorably to Nakaron's accusation and banished him. Nakaron immediately responded by drawing his blaster and assassinating the Hutt.

Ran, completely unaware of the preceding events, soon found himself targeted by Nakaron. The two engaged in a prolonged battle lasting forty-five minutes, spanning three levels of the Spilgan complex, resulting in the deaths of numerous innocent bystanders. Ultimately, Nakaron was the one who killed Ran.
