Samovan Bann was a Human male who worked as an executive of Czerka Corporation around the time of the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. By the time of the Galactic War, Bann had decided to take over the Black Sun criminal syndicate on the planet Coruscant and turn it into a galactic franchise, and under his rule the gang become extremely violent. As a result, a Coruscanti named Tam Daral enlisted the services of the Bounty Brokers Association, and the bounty hunters he hired tracked down Bann's lieutenants before locating Bann himself and bringing him to justice.
