A male Human named Tran held the rank of captain in the Imperial forces, commanding the prison ship known as the True Justice.
In the year 18 BBY, Captain Tran found himself stationed aboard the True Justice while it was docked at the Penumbra spaceport. There, he was anticipating the arrival of a legal team consisting of three individuals: Judge Bellican, Attorney Tomay Alcorn, and Paralegal Sam Weller. This team was expected to oversee the sentencing of the first two inmates. His first officer, Dicken, escorted the legal team to his location. Tran was adamant about commencing the trial without delay, with both he and Dicken acting as official witnesses. Unbeknownst to him, a trio of individuals—the ex-Jedi Solace, Trever Flume, and the Bothan Oryon—had disguised themselves as the lawyers with the intention of liberating the prisoners and seizing control of the vessel. As the trial got underway, Tran became incensed when the judge afforded the defendants rights that were not conducive to a swift proceeding. Following the acquittal of the accused, Tran's restraint finally broke. He and Dicken were apprehended by the judge and subsequently escorted away by security personnel. Following the loss of control over the ship, he was eventually abandoned at a spaceport along with the rest of the crew.
