Janse was a Human male native of the planet Ukio who worked as a weapons design evaluator with BlasTech Industries during the Galactic Civil War. At some point, Janse became a sharpshooter. He eventually left BlasTech, taking a cache of A280 blaster rifles with him, and joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic shortly before the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, becoming a corporal in Alliance Special Forces. Janse served as a scout on hunting expeditions. That year, Janse attended a briefing held on the Alliance Fleet's flagship, the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Home One, where the Alliance discussed its plans to attack the Galactic Empire's second Death Star battlestation orbiting the Forest Moon of Endor. Janse served as a sharpshooter in the strike team organized to infiltrate the moon and deactivate the Imperial shield generator that protected the Death Star. The strike team successfully disabled the generator, allowing Alliance starfighters to destroy the Death Star.
