Legend

this was the alias used by a spy who had infiltrated the Old Republic's bota processing operations on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Lens was the alias he used when working with the Black Sun organization, who paid part of his salary. The other part was paid by Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which was also interested in grabbing a large share of bota. To the Separatists, he was known simply as Column. Lens had been monitoring the actions of Admiral Tarnese Bleyd and Filba the Hutt, and was forced into action when Filba purposely destroyed a bota transport in an effort to drive up the prices. Acting on orders that served both of his masters, Lens slipped a deadly poison into Filba's food, eliminating the Hutt and his machinations. Lens then set up a meeting with the Nediji assassin Kaird, who had also been dispatched to Drongar by Black Sun, to ensure that their missions were not in conflict. It was the Jedi Padawan Barris Offee who discovered that Lens was actually the base's minder, Klo Merit. Although Offee tried to go through official channels to have Merit detained, Jos Vondar took matters into his own hands. He confronted Merit with the evidence, and shot the Equani in the chest before he could escape.
