In the decades before the Clone Wars started, a group of traitorous guards led by Semage and Hanel killed Jedi Master Katri in hopes the corrupt senator, Larik, would push their political agenda through to the Senate. However, when Jedi Mace Windu and Dooku arrived on the planet to pick up Katri's body, Senator Larik told the Jedi of the guards' scheme. While Larik was running towards the Jedi for safety, the guards shot him in the back, killing him. Afterward, a battle between the traitorous guards and the two Jedi ensued. The Jedi won but killed multiple guards including Hanel. Semage was captured and imprisoned in a facility on Raxus.
