Amel Bakli acted as the governor of Caprioril, a typically peaceful planet situated in the Core World region, under the authority of the Imperial regime. An assassin droid selected this governor as its target, determining that the most effective path to achieving its target's death was to eliminate all 20,000 viewers present at a swoop race where Bakli was present. This incident subsequently became known as the Caprioril Massacre, and Ignar Ominaz, a swoop racer, also perished.
