From 3 ABY to 4 ABY, Jul Tambor, a nationalist, used pirates enlisted by him to establish a blockade around the planet Skako Minor. This blockade occurred as Tambor attempted to reclaim the world from the pro-Imperial regime. Despite this, when pirates attacked Brentaal IV, Tambor disavowed any connection, likening the pirates to mynocks exploiting the situation. The bombing of Kantiema exposed Tambor's deceit and self-serving motives to the Skakoans, leading to the failure of his uprising.
