Xanai Sowan was a Twi'lek of the female persuasion, functioning as an engineer on the pirate vessel known as the Mourning Glory.
During a voyage through the Transitory Mists, the Hapans seized the ship. Grov Bricker, the Captain, and Kelan Faal, the First Mate, were transported to Star Home where they received death sentences. Sowan, along with the remaining crew members, were relegated to a Hapan prison moon. Ultimately, the [Queen Mother]'s search for Prince Isolder led to the release of both the captain and the crew, as Faal's true identity was revealed.
