Lanni Troujow, a female Human, met her end before she could fully pursue a grand treasure hunt. She was piloting cargo on the planet Dellalt for a mining company when she stumbled upon the log-recorder from the long-lost treasure ship known as the Queen of Ranroon. Although killed prematurely, Lanni's crucial discovery paved the way for her sister, Hasti, and the paternal figure Alexsandr Badure, to ultimately unearth the legendary riches.
Lanni Troujow, an orphan from a young age, and her sister Hasti, spent their early years in the Tion Hegemony, trying to survive by securing work in various mines and encampments. Lanni inherited a Pilot's Guild handbook from her father, which allowed her to supplement their income by taking on surface transport jobs. This continued when the Troujow sisters began working as contracted laborers for an unlawful mining operation on Dellalt, a planet where they developed a close relationship with Alexsandr Badure, a former Imperial Navy officer, who took care of the pair amidst the camp's chaotic environment. During one of her routine flights, Troujow unexpectedly came across an archaic log-recorder apparently belonging to the Queen of Ranroon, the famous treasure ship of Xim, a galactic tyrant from the pre-Republic, which had been headed for Dellalt before mysteriously vanishing.
The log-recorder held the promise of a discovery that could potentially elevate the Troujows and Badure from their impoverished circumstances. Initially, Lanni tried to find the treasure's location herself, making brief detours from her work routes to investigate promising spots high in the mountains of Dellalt. But she was not able to complete her search—J'uoch, the leader of the mining outfit, also wanted the treasure for herself, and murdered Lanni in her own search for the log-recorder. However, before her death, Lanni managed to hide the log-recorder in Xim's treasure vault complex, preventing J'uoch from getting her hands on it. This provided Hasti and Badure, who had barely escaped Dellalt before J'uoch's retribution, with an opportunity to pursue the treasure themselves. Returning to Dellalt with smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca, and Ruurian scholar S. V. Skynx, Troujow's sister and father figure successfully located the Queen of Ranroon's treasure, finishing what she had begun.
Lanni Troujow had a very strong connection with Alexsandr Badure, as did her sister, who acted as the young women's protector and father figure in the harsh Dellalt mining camp. Troujow, a skilled pilot and astute investigator, shared a striking resemblance to her sister Hasti, possessing fair skin and red hair.
