Around 6 BBY, a ship from the Imperial Department of Military Research, transporting experimental weaponry and tech destined to be used against the Alliance to Restore the Republic, met its end in a crash on the surface of the planet Bimmisaari. The entire crew perished in the incident, and the wreckage was found by a young Bimm by the name of Glah Ubooki. Glah, along with assistance from his seven brothers, spent three hours recovering items of interest from the downed vessel before the arrival of Imperial troops. The Bimms then sold their recovered goods in the marketplaces of Glastro, the nearest city, where a Rebel smuggler, understanding the value of the prototypes, purchased them.
