History
In 22 BBY The Galactic Republic prepared to enter secret negotiations with the Royal Toydarian government to set up a supply base in their system. The negotiations were scheduled to take place on a remote neutral moon between Jedi Master Yoda and King Katuunko. In exchange for letting the Republic build a base in their system, the Toydarians would enjoy the protection of the Jedi.

The Republic convoy neared the moon, but several Banking Clan frigates intercepted them and opened fire. The battle was heated, and the Republic was hopelessly outgunned. Yoda ordered the convoy ship to retreat, but did not join them, determined to continue onward with his mission. He entered an escape pod and ordered all of the ship's other pods to launch simultaneously to mask his escape. Accompanying him were three clone troopers, Rys, Jek and Thire.
