The human engineer Vharn's relatives originated from the mining planet called Sorgal 12. When the Imperial Era was underway, the Galactic Empire forced his family, inclusive of his father and sister, into slavery, although Vharn was not on the planet at that time. To try and liberate his relatives, he later became a member of the Rebel Alliance; however, he was kiled by Beilert Valance, a bounty hunter, after Valance learned of Vharn's scheme to double-cross the Rebellion.
