Deredith Arden was a Human of the male gender who held the rank of captain aboard the colony vessel that established the settlement on the planet known as Bakura, approximately 150 BBY.
Arden is credited with the founding of both Bakura and its primary settlement, Salis D'aar. He also served in the capacity of Prime Minister for a period of eight years. The planet called Arden received its designation in his honor.
Following Arden's death, the Bakur Mining Corporation experienced a period of declining profitability and an unclear path forward. This situation might have been the contributing element that resulted in the transfer of authority from the Corporation to the Bakuran Senate.
Every individual who served as the head of government on Bakura, up to the conclusion of Imperial dominion in 4 ABY, was a direct descendant of Arden.
