Candobar Inglet held the position of khedive governing both Sluis Van and the Sluis sector throughout the Clone Wars and the period leading up to it. Just prior to the outbreak of the conflict, he took his sector and declared independence by joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The suspected influence of the renegade Judicial Department vessel, the Scarlet Thranta, is thought to have played a role in his decision to align with the Separatist cause.
