Legend

this bounty hunter and his sister, Floria, claimed to be from the planet Aaeton, when they were captured by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker on Ragoon-6, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. They were part of a group of bounty hunters hired by Granta Omega to capture the Jedi and their companion, Wren Honoran. However, their plans to capture the Jedi failed when the Jedi actually captured them. Obi-Wan and Anakin then used them to draw out the other bounty hunters. It was during this time that Dane and Floria admitted they were from Thracior. Their parents - a Hnsi mother and a Tantt father - had been killed for intermarrying. The children were forced to make their own way through the galaxy, and became bounty hunters to pay their bills. Years later, Floria and Dane remained a team, although they gave up bounty hunting and were working the Mid and Outer Rim Territories as security officers. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, they were hired by Samish Kash to serve as his personal bodyguards. However, during Kash's mission to Null to discuss a treaty with Count Dooku, Kash was assassinated. This brought Floria and Dane back into contact with Obi-Wan and Anakin, who were on Null to meet with Lorian Nod. Floria and Dane were initially accused of killing him, but they were later proven innocent by Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker.
