Kerane
this man was a noted prospector during the last decades of the Old Republic, although many of his peers considered him more than a bit insane. Kerane was the first being to map out and investigate the Hoth asteroid field, where he claimed to have found a huge asteroid formed of pure platinum. He claimed that he had even brought back a small sample to verify its composition. However, when Kerane returned to the asteroid belt to recover the asteroid, he was never able to find it. He went mad in his frustrating search, and the asteroid's location remained a mystery.
