Kazan was a male individual who held the position of captain aboard the RS Revenge. This cruiser served within the Rebel Alliance's fleet during the Galactic Civil War. While based at a clandestine Alliance base sometime between 0 ABY and 1 ABY, Kazan created a starlog entry from the bridge of the cruiser. This entry detailed a mission undertaken by several Rebels, with their destination being the moon known as Panna Prime. This very recording was later utilized as narration for a cartoon that depicted the events of that day's happenings.
Kazan, identified as male, functioned as an officer within the Alliance Fleet throughout the Rebel Alliance's civil war against the Galactic Empire. During a period between 0 ABY and 1 ABY, he was the captain of the cruiser named RS Revenge. This vessel was stationed at a hidden Alliance base located within an asteroid field. During Kazan's time at this base, the Alliance's General Ristt dispatched the Rebel-aligned smugglers, specifically Han Solo and Chewbacca, on a mission to secure a mystical artifact known as the Talisman. Agents of the Empire were also seeking this artifact. As the mission extended beyond its expected duration, Kazan documented the situation in starlog 3-24-1. This was an audio journal entry recorded from the bridge of the RS Revenge.
The smugglers' ship was soon tracked and pursued to the moon Panna Prime by the Rebels Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, and R2-D2. They were assisted by the bounty hunter Boba Fett in counteracting the unexpected side effect of the Talisman: a sleeping virus. However, Fett made his escape after the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 discovered his covert allegiance to the Empire. Upon receiving the mission details, Kazan updated his starlog entry with information regarding Fett before concluding the recording. This particular entry was subsequently employed as narration in a cartoon depicting the Rebels' adventure on Panna Prime.
Being a member of the Rebel Alliance, Kazan ended starlog 3-24-1 with the expression "May the Force be with you," a traditional Jedi saying frequently used by Rebel officers.
The voice of Captain Kazan provides the narration for The Story of the Faithful Wookiee, which is a cartoon penned by George Lucas and produced by Nelvana Studios. It was initially broadcast on television in 1978 as a segment of The Star Wars Holiday Special. An uncredited actor provided Kazan's voice. His dialogue is absent from the fourth draft of the Holiday Special's script. Instead, the script uses dialogue between Ristt and Princess Leia Organa to give context to the Talisman and Han Solo's mission.
