Squa Tront, a gifted con artist and contraband runner hailing from Umbaran, partnered with Thula, a Falleen, under the employ of Kaird, an operative of the Black Sun. Their mission involved penetrating the transmission network and successfully pilfering the Bota. Subsequently, they were tasked with encasing the stolen goods in carbonite and dispatching it to Kaird, thereby transferring ownership to the Black Sun. However, deviating from the scheme devised by the Nediji, Squa and Thula double-crossed Kaird, filling the carbonite container with explosives. Kaird barely avoided being killed and swore vengeance, but Squa and Thula had already made their escape.
