Kian Derar was a scholar, identified as female. During the time of the Imperial Era, she came across a legend etched into the wall of a Jedi temple. This legend detailed that the act of bringing together a Sith holocron with a Jedi holocron would result in a vergence within the Force. This vergence, according to the legend, would hold the answers to any inquiry. Derar's ambition was to exploit this vergence to bypass Imperial intelligence networks.
