Ronin'gan was the father of Evon Gane and the husband of Janen'gan. He was an unpopular representative of Ryloth on the Imperial Senate. The Empire summoned him and his family to Coruscant in 14 ABY, and they boarded the Starferry. But the ship was ill-fated, and when some Duros pirates raided the ship, he was one of the first victims.
