The Human individual, Katiz Xemir, established a life on a distant colony planet, designating it as his home. Nevertheless, after Xemir declined to move from the planet to accommodate a [mining](/article/mining/legends] operation, the Galactic Empire killed his relatives. As a result, Xemir began working as a hired mercenary, targeting Imperial assets.
The initial reference to Katiz Xemir's planet of origin appeared in "Preparing for War," a roleplaying game scenario suggestion featured in The Far Orbit Project from 1998, authored by Timothy S. O'Brien. This publication served as an add-on for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, produced by West End Games.
