During the events of 22 BBY, while on a mission to the planet of Ansion, the Jedi Padawan known as Barriss Offee was abducted. This kidnapping was orchestrated by Kyakhta and Bulgan, who were clanless Ansionian males, specifically Alwari outcasts who had previously belonged to the Tasbir clan, acting under the orders of Soergg the Hutt. The location of this abduction was a marketplace situated in Cuipernam, the capital city of Ansion. Jedi Masters Luminara Unduli and Obi-Wan Kenobi, accompanied by their respective Padawans, Barriss Offee and Anakin Skywalker, were traversing the marketplace when Barriss was enticed away and incapacitated by a gas. Following this, she was transported to a room within an unidentified building located on Jaaruls Street by her captors. However, Barriss managed to persuade Kyakhta and Bulgan to set her free by providing a cure for long-standing mental impairments they suffered from. As a result, Kyakhta and Bulgan, now healed, chose to assist the Jedi as guides in their objective to resolve the ongoing disputes between the Unity of Community, which served as Ansion's governing body, and the Alwari nomadic people.
