Pilester Binalie was a male Human who fathered Corf Binalie, who was a comrade of Jedi Master Jafer Torles. He also possessed Spaarti Creations, a company situated on the planet of Cartao. This occurred during the Clone Wars, a period of warfare between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
In the year 22 BBY, he made his home in a large house close to Foulahn City, striving to maintain impartiality during the ongoing conflict. Nevertheless, the Confederacy of Independent Systems intended to exploit his factory for the creation of equipment and for other specialized applications throughout the duration of the war. This intention resulted in a fierce battle when Jafer and forces of the Republic landed on the planet. Pilester and his son watched as a Republic vessel obliterated the factory, assigning blame to the Jedi and consequently severing their connection with Torles. Unbeknownst to them, this entire sequence of events had been orchestrated in secret by Darth Sidious and Kinman Doriana.
