The Imperials sent Captain Osted Alater to Barab I to investigate Planetary Safaris' claims. While there, he discovered that the Barabels were actually a sentient race and had Planetary Safaris closed down.
Shaka-ka became friends with Alater and together they built the city of Alater-ka. Shaka-ka named the city in honor of Captain Alater. After Shaka-ka's death, an elaborate memorial dedicated to Shaka-ka was erected in the middle of the city. However, it was destroyed when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Barab I.
