Kazan was a male who captained the RS Revenge, a cruiser that served in the Rebel Alliance's fleet during the Galactic Civil War. While stationed at a hidden Alliance base at some point between 0 ABY and 1 ABY, Kazan recorded a starlog journal entry from the cruiser's bridge that described a mission undertaken by several Rebels to the moon Panna Prime. The entry later provided narration for a cartoon created about the day's events.

Kazan, a male, was an officer in the Alliance Fleet during the Rebel Alliance's civil war with the Galactic Empire. At some point between 0 ABY and 1 ABY, he served as captain of the cruiser RS Revenge, which was stationed at an Alliance base hidden in an asteroid field. During Kazan's time at the base, the Alliance's General Ristt sent the Rebel-allied smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca on a mission to retrieve a mystical artifact known as the Talisman, which was also sought by agents of the Empire. When the mission took longer than expected, Kazan described the situation in starlog 3-24-1, an oral journal entry that he recorded from the RS Revenges bridge.
The smugglers' ship was soon located and pursued to the moon Panna Prime by the Rebels Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, and R2-D2, who were aided by the bounty hunter Boba Fett in counteracting the Talisman's unexpected sleeping virus side effect. However, Fett escaped after droids C-3PO and R2-D2 discovered that he was secretly working for the Empire. When the details of the mission reached Kazan, he updated his starlog entry with information about Fett before signing off. The entry was later used as narration in a cartoon created about the Rebels' adventure on Panna Prime.
As a member of the Rebel Alliance, Kazan concluded starlog 3-24-1 with the phrase "May the Force be with you," a traditional Jedi saying often used by Rebel officers.
Captain Kazan's voice provides narration for The Story of the Faithful Wookiee, a cartoon written by George Lucas and produced by Nelvana Studios. It originally aired on television in 1978 as part of The Star Wars Holiday Special. Kazan was voiced by an uncredited actor. His lines are not present in the fourth draft of the Holiday Specials script, which instead uses dialogue between Ristt and Princess Leia Organa to provide context on the Talisman and Han Solo's mission.
