The band of non-human mercenaries known as the Brig Stompers operated throughout the Galactic War. Their reputation was cemented when they annihilated the entire defense force of Gaftikar during a coup d'etat. By the year 3642 BBY, they found themselves positioned on Hoth, posing a significant threat to the Sith Empire's Thesh Outpost, with the potential to overwhelm it. To avert this disastrous outcome, Sergeant Kavsun enlisted someone to reduce the Brig Stompers' numbers and destroy their resources.
