When the two racers accidentally discovered Tig Fromm's secret base while racing in the Vaj Desert, the gangster dispatched muscle droids to the speeder shop to abduct them. Thall had already left, but the droids captured Jord. Upon returning to the shop, Thall was told by Kea Moll what had happened to Jord. They soon came under attack from more muscle droids who had sabotaged Thall's speeder to prevent his escape. Acting quickly, Kea and R2-D2 activated the White Witch, allowing the group to escape.
