Goran, a male Human, held the rank of corporal within the Republic Army during the era of the Cold War. He was stationed on the planet of Taris as part of Search and Rescue Squad 204, where he took orders from Sergeant Elara Dorne. During a mission to extract captured Republic troops from the Fallenspire Stronghold, also located on Taris, Elara instructed Goran to stand guard at the bunker's exit.
