An Imperial officer serving the Galactic Empire, Officer Krane, was "assigned" to oversee Project Auger—a mining operation aimed at excavating ancient artefacts buried on the planet Zeffo.
Believing the previous project leader lacked the necessary leadership and drive, Krane orchestrated a mutiny and seized full control of the operation.
Ambitious and eager to win Emperor Palpatine’s favour, Krane became increasingly reckless. She disregarded warnings from her subordinates and dismissed many discovered relics as worthless trinkets, unworthy of excavation.
After one of her troopers uncovered a valuable relic within the Ice Caves, Krane attempted to confiscate and smuggle it off the planet, believing that presenting it to the Emperor would result in personal rewards and a promotion. As she attempted to keep the artefact concealed from the rest of her team, tremors caused by the mining destabilised the cave, causing a collapse of ice and rock that buried her alive.
In 14 BBY, during a covert mission to Zeffo to help rebuild the Jedi Order, Cal Kestis discovered Krane’s remains. Using his ability to access Force echoes, he experienced her final moments and witnessed the reckless ambition that led to her demise.
