Legend

this man was a native of the planet Bellassa, during the last years of the Old Republic. It was also believed that Lands was an officer in the Grand Army of the Republic, and it was during his service that he met Ferus Olin. The two became fast friends, and after the Clone Wars they retired to Bellassa and created the Olin/Lands Agency in Ussa. Ferus later explained that it was Roan who took him in after the destruction of the Jedi Order, and helped him get back on his feet. The idea for the agency had been Ferus', but Roan sold off all his assets to fund it. The business was set up to assist those Bellassans who had exposed criminals and were placed in witness-protection programs, providing them with new identities and new homes. After the Empire arrived on Bellassa and replaced the elected governor with an Imperial supporter, their work became more involved with protecting those individuals who blew the whistle on corruption officials. Their experiences led them to form the Eleven and begin speaking to the Bellassan population about refusing to submit to Imperial control, which earned them positions on the Empire's wanted lists. They remained free for a while, but were eventually cornered by stormtroopers. Ferus managed to escape, but Roan was captured and interrogated. He was later recovered and brought to Doctor Amie Antin, who was unable to treat him without knowing what drugs had been used on him. Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to infiltrate the Imperial garrison and find the information, which allowed Doctor Antin to treat Roan and restore him to health. Roan later helped Ferus establish a base of operations on a hidden asteroid, bringing all manner of supplies to help his friend create a safeworld for any surviving members of the Jedi Order.
