Legend

this Jedi Knight was one of the many who were caught up in events during the six months leading to the Battle of Ruusan. She and her apprentice, Dree Vandap, were dispatched to Harpori to locate Kaox Krul, but were too late to save the Duros colony there. The Dark Jedi caught them in the Balowa System, disabling the Golden Song as well as his own starfighter. After crashing on the only inhabited world of the system, the two Jedi readied themselves to confront the Sith warrior. Crian tried to take the fight to him on her own terms, hoping to offset Dree's limited training by battling Kaox Krul on her own terms. Unfortunately, Kaox Krul was able to throw Crian from the battle with a blast of Dark Side energy. During this brief lull, Krux killed Dree Vandap, then turned his full attention to Crian. Crian, angered at the untimely death of her Padawan, attacked with fury as much as focus. The battle went on for hours, until Crian finally gave in to the Dark Side. In the incredible concentration of Dark Side energy, both Crian and Kaox Krul were completely consumed, blasting the life from the immediate area and causing widespread ecological damage to the planet. Neither was ever found again.
