She had a Rodian Padawan named Dree Vandap and flew the " Golden Song " , named after her impression of the Force . In the end , Crian was nearly close to the dark side and was killed at the Duel on Balowa in 1000 BBY . Biography . Crian Maru was a Human Jedi Knight during the time of the uprising of the Sith Brotherhood of Darkness . As an apprentice , Crian had taken on the young Rodian female , Dree Vandap . At the time of Crian ' s role as a teacher , the Jedi were at war with the Sith , and Crian had taken on the mission of locating and dealing with the Dark Sider known as the Marauder , the Madman , and the Dark Killer , Kaox Krul . Traveling across the galaxy in her ship , the " Golden Song " , Crian and her apprentice had tracked Kaox Krul to the planet Harpori in the Balowa system . Following the Madman ` s trail of massacres and darkness , Crian and her apprentice finally pinpointed Kaox ` s location . However , the Marauder got the jump on the two Jedi and in a daring space battle , Kaox engaged the duo . Although they survived his attack , their ship was greatly damaged . As Kaox attempted to finish them off , the two Jedi crippled the dark sider ' s own ship sending it to the planet ' s surface below . Damaged beyond capability of flight , the Jedi brought the ship to a safe landing only made possible by the Force , both the Jedi and Madman were able to survive their crash . However , the Jedi were not safe ; for Kaox was unwavering in his goal to destroy them . The Jedi managed to salvage a speeder bike from the wreckage of the " Golden Song " and began to flee the area ; hoping to avoid Krul until they could regroup . Before they were able to flee however , Kaox Krul engaged Dree in battle as Crian readied the speeder bike for take - off . She managed to start it , snatching Dree upon the bike as she drove off into the forest . Empowered with dark side energies , Kaox was able to pursue the fleeing Jedi at amazing speed ; catching them and destroying their bike with his blade . The lightsaber strike to the speeder caused Kaox to lose his balance , allowing Crian and Dree an escape on foot . For two days Crian was able to keep her and her apprentice ahead of Krul , but eventually he drew closer . Kaox approached the Jedi Knight at a lake in the forest where she had stopped to rest . Realizing that she could no longer run from the Madman , Crian engaged him in a fierce battle . It took all of Crian ' s strength in the Force to keep up with Kaox and the two traded blow after blow until Dree jumped into the battle herself , forcing Kaox to fight an adversary on each side . Using the Force to send Crian flying into the lake , Kaox vaulted over Crian ' s apprentice , landing behind her to deliver a killing blow . Mortified at the loss of her apprentice , Crian gave into the anger that was deep within her . Crian and Krul eventually took their battle over the surface of the lake , using the dark energies to hover above the water . With so much energy pouring into keeping themselves in the air , the two impaled each other simultaneously . Crian ' s body disappeared , becoming one with the Force as well as Krul ' s body .
