During the time of the Galactic Civil War, Doctor Elth Nardah and a group of agents from the Alliance to Restore the Republic traveled to a village situated on the planet called Karra. Their objective was to negotiate a formal agreement with the indigenous Karrans, who were under the leadership of Tist. Nevertheless, following a miscommunication that arose from the team's capture of Darryn Edalm, the Imperial governor of the area, the Karrans came to perceive the Alliance team as a danger, and consequently, they attempted to kill them.
