Legend

born Akanah Norand Goss, Akanah was the daughter of Joreb Goss and Isela Talsava Norand. Akanah was a descendant of the Fallanassi through her mother, Isela, who sent her to live on Carratos when the Empire first sought to take over Lucazec. Akanah lived there as a normal individual, although she was the only Fallanassi on the planet. There, she met and married Andras Pell. Pell was 36 years her senior, and the marriage lasted a year until Andras passed away. Some time later, she sensed the presence of Luke Skywalker, although she did it through the command of the White Current, rather than the Force. She traveled to Coruscant and found Luke, even though he'd hidden himself away in Darth Vader's old residence. She came to him with an offer to help him find his mother and thereby ease some of his emotional burden. She took Luke to her homeworld of Lucazec, but they failed to find any information on Luke's mother. They did find a Fallanassi marking indicating where they fled to, and left Lucazec only after battling with Imperial agents left behind to intercept the Fallanassi. They continued to follow a path known only to Akanah, traveling to Teyr and Atzerri before arriving on J't'p'tan. Akanah was very secretive about their search, which worried Luke about her motives. Ultimately, Akanah revealed that she knew nothing about Luke's mother, and simply wanted to ascertain his role in the galaxy. Although she agreed to help the New Republic defeat the Yevetha, Akanah refused to join the rest of galactic society. Instead, she disappeared to a retreat on Pydyr, where she and the Fallanassi settled to renew their contemplation of the White Current. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Akanah took on a new student in Jacen Solo, who had been traveling the galaxy in search of the true definition of the Force.
