Shortly before the Clone Wars, General Ashaar Khorda employed Jango Fett to retrieve the statue of the Infant. Khorda hoped to use the Infant's power to destroy or, from Ashaar's point of view, euthanize Coruscant and the Galactic Republic. Succeeding in attaining the statue, Fett was convinced by his rival and contemporary Zam Wesell to return the statue in order to save Coruscant. After reattaining the statue, the bounty hunters returned it to the Disciples.
