Around 3642 BBY, during the Galactic War, the King and Queen of Sarkhai wanted to heal the relationship between the Galactic Republic and the Rift Alliance by donating a regiment of Sarkhai troopers to the Barsen'thor of the Jedi Order. However, because the Barsen'thor had to take care of a problem on the planet Hoth, Senator Tobas Grell sent representative Augin Blaesus to attend the royal ceremony onboard Waypoint Station Three. However, after discovering that Blaesus may have been an Imperial spy, Grell sent the Barsen'thor on a mission to save the Sarkhai royal family.
