Emoch Akagarti held the position of ephor for the Pammur continent located on Affadar. To finance a mining endeavor on the planet, despite the negative impacts on the water supply, he and his administration formed a partnership with the Galactic Empire. During 0 ABY, operatives from a surviving Partisan group known as the Dreamers forced their way into Akagarti's home and took his family as prisoners. He was transported to the Affadar water purification plant, where Iden Versio, who was secretly embedded in the Dreamers as a member of Inferno Squad, captured video evidence of Akagarti confessing that the water was unsafe to drink because the plant was not functioning. The Dreamers abandoned him, confining him within a container filled with the hazardous water.
