In 19 BBY, he was stationed on Coruscant and approached Vader whilst he was meditating, Vaneé apologized for disrupting the Sith Lord before informing him that the Imperial Security Bureau had reported an incident in the lower levels of the city that was possibly connected to the Jedi. Vader instructed Vaneé to inform them he was coming. He was later present in the Sith Lord's castle on the planet Mustafar in 0 BBY, and approached Vader&mdash;who was meditating in a rejuvenation chamber&mdash;to inform him that Director Orson Krennic had arrived to discuss the Death Star.

Biography
"Few people have had the honor of seeing Lord Vader in his sanctum. I suggest you keep all you witnessed to your self."

- Vaneé, to Director Krennic

Vaneé was present on the landing pad of Fortress Vader when Director Orson Krennic disembarked his shuttle after arriving on Mustafar. Without a word, Vaneé led Krennic into the castle and took him deep into the facility until they had arrived to a rotunda that looked out onto the Mustafar landscape. He motioned for the Director to wait before he proceeded to leave via a door on the other side of the chamber.

Vaneé made his way to Vader’s private rejuvenation chamber and entered, passing through the chamber’s two set of security doors. His presence drew no reaction from the two Royal Guards stationed in the chamber. Approaching the Bacta tank centered in the middle of the chamber, Vaneé knelt with his head bowed. As he stated that Krennic had arrived at the castle, Vaneé looked up directly to the tank to see Vader’s form emerge from within the bacta. Vaneé bowed his head as the tank started to drain.

Moments later, Vaneé returned to the rotunda and made his way pass Krennic without speaking anything to him which was hardly noticed at all by Krennic. He then disappeared into the corridor. After Vader’s meeting with Krennic had come to an end, Vaneé met Krennic as the man stumbled out from the rotunda. Silently tipping his head, he motioned for the Director to follow him as he led Krennic back down the same path they had taken before. After a few moments as they walked, Vaneé spoke for the first time, telling Krennic that he was one of the few individuals who had had the honor of seeing Vader in sanctum. Upon reaching the door of the landing pad, Vaneé cautioned the Director to keep what he had witnessed to himself.
