Legend

this man was the leader of the rebellious miners who worked on Katanos VII during the last years of the Old Republic. He had seen his people grow poorer as their mines dried up, then witnessed the problems that the Republic had in supplying aid to remote worlds while trying to keep the Grand Army of the Republic ready for battle. In a desparate attempt to generate revenues, Kram and his most senior technicians tried to develop cloning activity, but their work only ended in failure. Word of their clandestine cloning activities reach the Jedi Order, which dispatched Master Lunis and his apprentice, Obs Kaj, to investigate. Although Kram initially denied the cloning, Obs discovered the hidden lab and its failures. Kram was forced to protect his people, and severed all communications with the rest of the galaxy. He then forced the Jedi to surrender, in order to turn them in to Count Dooku for the bounty on their heads. Although Lunis was killed, Obs managed to escape to her ship, which was shot down by Dooku's forces in orbit. Because only Lunis' body was recovered, Dooku only paid half the bounty he had promised, leaving Kram and the mining operation without enough credits to survive. Kram ordered the miners to flee Katanos VII and hide out, in order to save their lives.
