Jhan was a female Human Mandalorian hired by Marvid and Craitheus Qreph to serve as security in their asteroid crusher Ormni. Along with her brother Joram, they were stationed near a turbolift when Jedi Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo burst into the room and took them captive. Trying to avoid capture from the ship's security detail, the Jedi pair incapacitated Jhan and Joram with hypo's filled with anesthesia and then took their Mandalorian armor for disguise.
