According to the legends of the Alderaanian people, Daranas was a seer known for experiencing powerful premonitions regarding the future. Despite this, the individuals to whom Daranas revealed these visions were unwilling to heed them. During 20 BBY, the Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee drew parallels between her own predicament at Republic Mobile Surgical Unit 7 located on the planet Drongar and the dilemma faced by Daranas. Similar to the seer, Offee possessed knowledge of an impending attack, yet her warnings were met with disbelief.
The character of Daranas received a short reference within MedStar II: Jedi Healer, which is the second novel comprising the MedStar Duology. This novel, Jedi Healer, was released to the public in 2004 and was authored collaboratively by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry.
