9T-LOM existed as a LOM-series protocol droid in the service of a Rodian accountant known as Soolehad. To evade capture during the initial period of the Yuuzhan Vong incursion, Soolehad operated under the alias Falloon. After a Yuuzhan Vong faction designated 9T-LOM for termination, the Rodian engaged a squad of hired soldiers to extract him from the world of Sriluur. Subsequently, Soolehad relinquished the intelligence contained within the LOM unit to a collection of Black Sun executives on Coruscant in exchange for considerable financial compensation. This action was undertaken to secure more than one hundred years of Black Sun's monetary documentation, which was archived within the droid's data storage.
