Serom Haxan, a Lorrdian professor of the male persuasion, held a position at the University of Pangalactic Cultural Studies in the period following the Dark Nest Crisis. In the year 40 ABY, Haxan was seized and held against his will by his fellow academic, Professor Movac Arisster. Arisster, having brought Haxan to the summit of the aquarium belonging to the Lorrd Academy for Aquatic Studies, secured Haxan to his person, and made threats to destroy the aquarium with explosives unless he could communicate with Nelani Dinn, the Jedi Knight present on the planet. Upon the arrival of Jacen Solo, who declined to engage in negotiations with Arisster, Solo employed the Force to trigger the explosive device, resulting in the death of both individuals.
