Furan Furan was a male Mon Calamari criminal of ill repute who operated just prior to the Second Galactic Civil War . However , the unsavory dealings of his social club were brought to an end by Jedi Knight Tahiri Veila , and the Mon Calamari was sentenced to a prison term in the Armand Isard Correctional Facility . In 44 ABY , following the civil war , Furan chanced upon an opportunity to avenge himself when Veila was sentenced to the same prison . Alongside several comrades , Furan confronted Veila but was soundly beaten by the former Jedi Knight . Biography . Furan was a male Mon Calamari active as a criminal in the years before the Second Galactic Civil War . Members of his social club also engaged in criminality and joined the Mon Calamari in the theft of army hospital shuttles , the parts of which they stripped and sold illegally . Their lawlessness was brought to an end by the efforts of Jedi Knight Tahiri Veila , who discovered evidence that implicated Furan and an accomplice in the heists . The gangsters were charged with grand vehicle theft and were found guilty on the strength of the incriminating account given by Furan ' s partner — who died sometime soon afterward . Sentenced to prison , Furan was committed to a term in the Armand Isard Correctional Facility on Coruscant . He made the acquaintance of many other criminals while incarcerated , among them two fellow killers : Gaharrag , an imposing male Wookiee ; and a massive Hutt named Leurm . In 44 ABY , an opportunity for vengeance arose for Furan when Tahiri Veila , the now – former Jedi responsible for his incarceration , was herself sentenced to a term in the Armand Isard Correctional Facility for her own crimes during the recent civil war . The Mon Calamari enjoyed a time of recess when Veila was mistakenly brought to the same exercise yard occupied by the majority of the prison ' s male population — Furan included . He was the first of them to confront her , with accusations of evidence fabrication against his social club , only to be reminded of his late confederate ' s damning testimony . When it became apparent that she would not be intimidated , Furan summoned Gaharrag , Leurm , and several other prisoners to join him in the ex - Jedi ' s slaughter . Taunting ensued as the inmates prepared to attack her , but Veila preceded them with a perfectly - landed kick to the center of Furan ' s head , a maneuver so sudden he was unable to cry out in pain before he collapsed . All of his allies were subsequently defeated by Veila , who was herself finally brought down with a high - intensity stun bolt . Both Gaharrag and Leurm suffered broken limbs , while Furan regained consciousness sometime later , the recipient of a violent concussion . Personality and traits . Furan was a pink - skinned Mon Calamari male with prominently - displayed gang tattoos and kill silhouettes about his head and neck . He preferred to socialize with other unsavory beings and made no qualms about his inherent delinquency . However , Furan was not one to take responsibility for his actions and was instead quick to reassign blame to beings other than himself , even going as far as making accusations of fabricated evidence against his social club . The felonious inclinations of his crime mob earned the ire of , and a bad reputation with , Tahiri Veila , a Knight of the New Jedi Order . When the two reconnected in the exercise yard of the Armand Isard Correctional Facility , it had been several years since their last encounter , and Furan still harbored much of the animosity he had initially felt for Veila when her intervention resulted in his arrest and ultimate conviction . Still , his desire for vengeance betrayed him , as Veila was more than a match for him in unarmed combat , a fact which was brought into sharp relief as the ex - Jedi made short work of Furan and his yard mates . Behind the scenes . Furan ' s first and only appearance is in Aaron Allston ' s " " , the seventh novel in the nine - part " " series .
