The ancient Twi'lek pots comprised a set of old, precious, and historic vessels crafted by early Twi'lek societies inhabiting the planet of Ryloth. During the period of the Rise of the Empire era, these pots were in the possession of the Galactic Museum, being kept within the CoCo Town storage facilities on Coruscant. An unnamed, affluent patron from the Core Worlds eventually contracted the Blank Look Gang to pilfer them from the museum, operating under the assumption that their absence would go unnoticed due to their lack of public exhibition. A number of Blank Look Gang members, including Hewpaj and Urnon Mossu, participated in the attempted theft, reconfiguring an ASP-7 labor droid to transport the pots to the museum's landing platform, where they were intended to be dropped to the criminals awaiting below. Nonetheless, some spacers had been employed to be on the lookout for precisely this kind of robbery and pursued the fleeing perpetrators, ultimately apprehending them after their vehicle crashed, with the strong possibility that the pots suffered destruction or significant damage during the incident.
