The father of Trace and Rafa Martez was a male individual who lived in the galaxy during the Age of the Republic. Rafa initially told Ahsoka Tano that their parents had "split," leaving them the family business, but later told her that they had been killed during the Senate hostage crisis, when a red-eyed alien, namely the bounty hunter Cad Bane, had shot down a transport during Ziro Desilijic Tiure's escape, which the pursuing Jedi stopped from crashing into a crowded platform, instead causing it to crash into the Martez family's quarters, accidentally killing both parents.
