Biography
Karne served several decades in the Judicial Forces before the Clone Wars.[1]
Karne was present when Kuallue reached the bridge and saw a Munificent-class Star Frigate fleeing Selbar, and he ordered the gunners to destroy it. This proved to be a gross misstep, because the frigate was actually a holographic projection, carefully alligned by Grievous such that the Kalpana's guns shot at the Republic forces on the ground. Kuallue's carelessness resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Clone Troopers and allowed Grievous to seize camp aurek. The ship, already chaotic with the lack of working communications, turned even more chaotic after that, with Kuallue, Karne, and Dorain struggling to relay orders to other parts of the ship.[1]
When they were attacked by hijacked V-19 Torrents, CR25 Troop Carriers, and the Micah Giiett, they went back and forth on his orders, causing further confusion until it was too late. Their engines were targeted, and multiple were destroyed in the confusion, causing the ship to crash.[1]
