Volahn served as a captain within the New Republic Defense Fleet, holding command of the vessel known as the Equity.
When Gaen Drommel's Executor-class Star Dreadnought, the Guardian, materialized from hyperspace, Volahn's fleet executed an ambush. Volahn then demanded Drommel's capitulation. Drommel declined to yield, however, Colonel Niovi eliminated Drommel and then surrendered the Guardian.
