Lantra Tan was a Twi'lek freighter captain who stole thousands of credits from the Nar Shaddaa Hutt crime lord Moghra. A long time ally of the Rebel Alliance, Tan intended to use the credits to fund local Rebel activity. Tan's cousin, Jonal, was enormously indebted to the Hutt and forced to pay off his debts by dancing in Moghra's palace retinue as an indentured servant. Learning of Tan's heist and fearing retaliation, Jonal informed Moghra, though Tan was able to hide with help from her accomplices and escaped off-world in her starship, the Head Tail, contacting a Rebel cell that smuggled her to a shipyard in Chardaan, a star system along the Hydian Way. Tan's Imperial paperwork was clean and provided little information of her, having been doctored.[1]
