Hurron was a human male who served as an officer in the Galactic Empire. Hurron held the rank of Commandant and was stationed at the Imperial base the Empire had on the planet of Vetine. Along with the Emperor, Darth Sidious, he was only one of two people with the access codes to enter a lab that contained the final fragments of a Great Tree that had once dwelled in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Hurron was killed in an explosion during a Rebel operation, carried out by Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker and Lieutenant Shara Bey to infiltrate the facility and recover the tree fragments.
