Background: Denwade Banevans was a human male who served the Galactic Empire as a range trooper captain on the planet Vandor. He led the security forces tasked with the protection of the conveyex train lines on Vandor, and was one of the toughest officers stationed on the world.
Denwade Banevans was a human male from the planet Carida who served in the Stormtrooper Corps of the Galactic Empire during its reign across the galaxy. He was stationed as a range trooper with the rank of captain on the planet Vandor, where he was leader of the security forces for the Imperial 20-T Railcrawler conveyex transport lines. In 10 BBY, the captain traveled with a squad on board the hovertrain designated ICC-5537 in order to protect its cargo of coaxium fuel while it was transported to Crispin Imperial Depository.
While ICC-5537 was headed toward the depository, a gang of criminals led by the outlaw Tobias Beckett boarded the train using a stolen Y-45 armored transport hauler. The hauler dropped Beckett and two of his accomplices, Han Solo and Chewbacca, on top of the train, where they made their way along to the car containing the coaxium. Once they had confirmed its location, the hauler returned so they could attach it to the car; however, Banevans and his men had realized something strange was going on and after detecting the threat the captain ordered his men to fan out and eliminate the intruders.
The Banevans and the other Imperials emerged onto the roof of the rearmost train car and opened fire on Beckett’s gang, using their gription boot to stay securely on the train as it moved at 90 kilometers per hour. This prevented the criminals from making the attachments to the car carrying the coaxium, so Beckett returned fire while Solo and Chewbacca began climbing down the car they were on to detach it from the rearward cars. Banevans progressed furthest toward the criminals before being shot in the chest by Beckett and killed. The captain’s corpse was held in place on the train by his boots while the rest of his squad kept progressing along the top and side of the train.
Solo and Chewbacca severed the connection between and the cars carrying Banevans’ body and his troopers were disconnected from the front half of the train and slowly ground to a halt, leaving the surviving range troopers unable to confront the criminal gang. Both the front portion of ICC-5537 and the coaxium were ultimately destroyed after the rival Cloud-Riders group attacked Beckett’s men in order to steal the coaxium for themselves.
Banevans wore standard range trooper vambrace armor including magnetic gription boots and a synth-fur line kama. The captain carried a E-10R blaster rifle and waterproof stowage packs for survival gear.
