The alien was one of the creators of the Planet Killer, a superweapon designed to destroy the planet that it was detonated on. The alien attempted to sell the weapon to Count Dooku, leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Unbeknownst to the alien scientist and Dooku, Jedi Master Mace Windu destroyed the Planet Killer, preventing the weapon from detonating. As a result, Dooku believed that the Planet Killer was inoperable and had a group of B1 battle droids arrest the scientist for wasting Dooku's time. As the scientist begged for mercy, Dooku stated that plans would continue to proceed for an "ultimate weapon."
