Senator Rotramel's representation ended before the Senate's dissolution in 0 BBY, when the planet Dac was enslaved by the Galactic Empire. Timi was among those who joined the growing Rebellion against the corrupt Sith-led government.
Travelling to Tiss'sharl in secret as an envoy, Senator Rotramel tried to recruit President Si-Di-Ri of the Tiss'sharl League to the Rebel Alliance, using the recent Alliance victory at Yavin to persuade the latter into allowing the establishment of a potential base on the planet. The two were interrupted by the Imperial forces' Supreme Commander, Darth Vader, who had used President Si-Di-Ri as an unwitting pawn in an attempt to lure Princess Leia Organa herself. After struggling to fire a pull-out blaster, Senator Rotramel was killed midway by Lord Vader.
