During the reign of the Galactic Empire, House Andrim developed some new weapons systems for the Star Destroyers Burning Vengeance and Legacy. The two vessels subsequently underwent weapons testing in the Belgaroth system and House Andrim secretly sent an agent to the system to monitor the proceedings, because they suspected that the Empire would downplay the effectiveness of the weapons in order to get a reduced price for them. However, the operative was unable to leave the Belgaroth system due to an Imperial interdiction effort, so the House Andrim representative Jestra Andrim hired a group of agents on Kuat to rendezvous with their spy, to collect data regarding the weapons test. However, unknown to House Andrim, their rivals House Depon murdered their operative and replaced the individual with an impersonator.
