Major Gaevril Daraada dispatched Graphyt to stop the New Republic operative Shandria L'hnnar and the thief Sienn Sconn from escaping from the planet Venaari. Sconn fought Graphyt on top of a stolen SV-50 Swift-Strike Speeder. Initially, Graphyt had the upper hand using his strength and size against Sconn. However, Sconn punctured the coolant tanks of Graphyt's rocket pack, strapped several thermal half-spheres to the bounty hunter, then used him as a makeshift missile to destroy an Imperial blockade of the spaceport.
