Kanna Deltic

Kanna Deltic, nicknamed Lieutenant Strangechild by her crewmate Commander Nibiru Chamas, was a human lieutenant in the Imperial Navy and the planetary science specialist of the Imperial Star Destroyer Ultimatum during its mission to the Gorse system in 11 BBY. She provided a report for the industrialist Count Denetrius Vidian and Captain Rae Sloane on the possibility of destroying the moon Cynda using explosives, causing Vidian to set in motion such a plan to more efficiently harvest the mineral thorilide.

Deltic later accompanied Sloane and the Ultimatum to Calcoraan Depot to help collect the explosive Baradium-357 for use in destroying Cynda. However, a group of rebels led by Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla ultimately foiled Vidian's plan to destroy the moon, and the count was revealed to be a traitor to the Empire. Nevertheless, Deltic greatly enjoyed working on the failed plan to destroy Cynda, joining a betting pool as to how much damage it would cause to the surface of the planet Gorse.

Years later, Deltic and Sloane traveled together on a multi-week inspection tour of new shuttle technology, but in 3 ABY were called back to the Ultimatum to take part in the search for the Millennium Falcon, a rebel vessel hiding in the Hoth asteroid belt. The pair traveled in the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle Bastinade, but became lost in the asteroid field while trying to locate the Star Destroyer.

After eventually learning that the Ultimatum had been destroyed in an asteroid collision, Sloane spotted a cluster of mynock corpses, which the pair then began collecting. They eventually managed to reach the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Executor, where Sloane and Deltic explained to the Sith Lord Darth Vader and Admiral Firmus Piett that the dead mynocks showed that there were exogorths present in the asteroid belt, and used a mynock killed by a blaster to show that the Falcon was likely taking refuge inside an exogorth.
