The Prana Lexander was a science vessel that was lost nearly five hundred years prior to the Galactic Civil War. Among those aboard it before it disappeared was an alien philosopher who was greatly respected by members of his species for his historical knowledge. The fate of Prana Lexander became the subject of rumor and legend until it was eventually found by agents of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. They freed the philosopher from cryofreeze and persuaded him to join their cause.
