A graduate of the Bothan Military Academy, Kalan joined the Galactic Civil War instead of serving in the small, Bothan defense force. Aspiring to become a powerful commander in the Imperial forces, Kalan was forced to offer his services to a struggling Rebel Alliance when his application to the Imperial Academy was refused on the basis of his non-human lineage. Kalan joined the rebellion, but kept his politics to himself and instead enjoyed the war as a thrill seeker. An intelligent military strategist, Kalan was utilized in a number of priority engagements and was well-respected by his commanding officers. After the war ended, Kalan resigned from the military feeling that the more peaceful New Republic navy would not satisfy his craving for danger and adventure. For many years he worked as a smuggler enjoying the thrill of slipping through the cracks of society to earn credits.

Chance eventually brought him into contact with Brotherhood recruiters after the great Exodus in 19 ABY. With his impressive background in naval strategy, Kalan accepted the Brotherhood’s offer of employment as a great chance to rejoin the grand battle. He was made Executive Officer of a Destroyer in the Antei Defense Force. When his commanding officer was killed during the Seventh Great Jedi War, Kalan assumed command of the vessel and fought free of the conflict. He continued to serve as Commanding Officer having been field promoted for his actions during the Dark Jedi crisis.
