Borta, hailing from Skalokor, a Dolandu native to the moon, maintained a long-standing friendship with Jedi Master Niquon and would often seek the Jedi's assistance. In the era of the Old Republic, Borta stumbled upon a deactivated assassin droid and subsequently asked Niquon to examine the droid; Nason Laric, Niquon's Padawan, was then dispatched to collect it.
